(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK, as most of you will know, the Model 1887's with Akimbo were one of the most overpowered and overused weapons. However, on the 23rd of December 2009, they got patched (patch 1.07).

The reason it got patched is because people said to Infinity Ward that they were overpowered when used with akimbo. So Infinity Ward made patch 1.07.

What this patch did:
Kept the range SAME when only using one (non-akimbo)
Severely reduced the range when using AKIMBO
Kept the damage the SAME without, and with akimbo

BUT,

If you use Bling Pro, and use Akimbo AND FMJ, the range actually INCREASED, and as the damage stayed the same as before the patch, the Model 1887's have actually got STRONGER, and more effective when used with FMJ and Akimbo

To sum it up
The range is only affected if used only with Akimbo
The damage has been kept the same
The range has been INCREASED if used with Akimbo AND FMJ

The reason I have posted this is because I am fed up with people asking if there's a way to get them back to what they were like.

If this helped, please +rep, thank or even nominate

Thank you for reading.

No, it doesn't.

yes, go try it out. well I got hatemail saying I'm hacking because I'm killing people with it from far/one shot.

Yeah FMJ normally just increases penetration, but in this case, the range and damage is increased for some reason. I've been using the Model's with and without FMJ these past few days and there is a huge difference.

I've tested between models with/without fmj, and it seems to be correct that fmj has a further range.

Thanks, glad to see someone agrees with me

err it does youve obviously not tried it so dont comment

Just tried it out with and without FMJ guys, there is a huge difference! It's better to use a single Model with FMJ, than it is to use akimbo without FMJ, that's how much of a difference it makes.
