The FAD (Fusil Automático Doble) is a bullpup assault rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]
The FAD has medium-high accuracy with medium-low damage, along with a high fire rate.
Campaign[]
The FAD can be seen in the hands of the Africa Militia forces during the mission "Back on the Grid". It is always seen with a Red Dot Sight equipped.
Multiplayer[]
The FAD is unlocked at Level 78, being the last assault rifle unlocked.
At any range short of 25 meters, the FAD will deal thirty damage per bullet. Damage linearly decreases until thirty meters. At any range beyond thirty meters, the FAD will deal 25 damage per bullet. Regardless of range to the target, the FAD will need four body shots to kill. In Hardcore game types the FAD's one shot kill range only goes out to 25 meters. The FAD also has medium penetration power. The FAD also has one of the largest headshot multipliers in the game, with a headshot conferring a 70% damage boost. A headshot ensures a one shot kill in Hardcore. A headshot short of 25 meters will always reduce the number of shots needed to kill by one, but two headshots in a row will kill an opponent. Beyond thirty meters, at least two headshots are needed to reduce the number of shots needed to kill.
The FAD fires fully automatically, with a fire rate of 1016 RPM.
The FAD has recoil values of 40 to the left, 40 to the right, 50 upwards, and 20 downwards. The FAD has a centerspeed value of 1350.
The FAD allows users to move at 90% of the base speed, and strafe at 36% of the base speed. The FAD has a unique aim down sight time value of 250 milliseconds, 50 milliseconds faster than all other assault rifles, but being 50 milliseconds slower than an SMG. The FAD provides a moderately sized hip-fire spread. The FAD's reload animation is 3.2 seconds long, or 3.56 seconds long if the magazine is empty. In either case, the user can Reload Cancel the FAD after 2.43 seconds.
The FAD has a magazine capacity of forty rounds, and a starting ammo loadout of 120 rounds.
The FAD has the usual assortment of attachments and weapon proficiencies available, with all of them working as expected on the FAD.
Infinity Ward has released a hotfix that buffed the FAD's damage to a four shot kill, the FAD will now require four shots at any range making it similar to some light machine gun in that aspect. Prior to a patch, adding any underbarrel attachment to the FAD lowered its rate of fire. However, this patch still persists in Spec Ops. On the Wii version, adding any scope attachment would also decrease the rate of fire. Neither one of these has ever been patched on the Wii version.
Special Ops[]
The FAD is available for both Survival and Mission modes.
Mission Mode[]
The FAD is an enemy weapon in the Mission Mode mission "Fatal Extraction".
Survival Mode[]
The FAD is available in Survival Mode at level 32 and costs $3000.
The FAD is also used by heavy commando troops in later waves. It is a very strong weapon at close to mid range, but its high recoil leads to a loss of accuracy at range. The attachments for the FAD are the same for all assault rifles. It is quite effective due to the fact that it has a 40-round magazine and has higher overall ammo and more ammo can be picked up in later rounds. After wave 20, all heavy commandos are equipped with one and it is used by them for the remainder of the match, meaning that it can be used by the player without having to pay $750 for an ammo refill.
