Call of Duty’s Patriotic Weapon Drops
Call of Duty has put American flags, military tributes and historical figures on its weapons for years. We’ve collected 31 weapon designs from Call of Duty’s PC and console games, released or brought back between 2020 and 2026.
At Americana Gecko, the weapon matters as much as the skin. When a Fourth of July bundle or an Endowment release honoring American service uses a foreign-designed weapon, it feels like a missed opportunity. An American weapon would make the tribute more fitting.
There is excellent work here: “We the People” along 1776’s handguard, George Washington beneath Declaration’s scope, and stars and stripes across Blasting Star and Firecrackers.
We also list the real-life weapon behind each in-game name. If it’s fictional or we can’t confirm the model, we say so.
