HAMR

The is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Strike Team and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. It also makes a very brief appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops II==
===Campaign===
The HAMR is available to use after completing the mission "Cordis Die". It is commonly seen being used by the Yemeni Army in the level "Achilles' Veil". Unlike its counterpart in multiplayer and Zombies, the HAMR in the campaign has a constantly high rate of fire of 937 rounds per minute, like the QBB LSW. It can also be found in the missions "Karma" where Mercs use it.
===Multiplayer===
The HAMR is unlocked at level 37.
The HAMR is a moderate damage-per-bullet LMG. At any range short of 38 meters the HAMR will deal forty damage, taking three shots to kill regardless of bullet placement. At any range between 38 meters and 75 meters the HAMR will deal thirty damage, taking four shots to kill or three if at least two bullets hit the head. The HAMR will deal 24 damage at any range past 75 meters, resulting in a five shot kill, a four headshot kill if any bullet hits the head, and a two shot kill in Hardcore game types. The HAMR also has high penetration power, allowing the HAMR to be an exceptionally dangerous weapon when shooting through surfaces given its good damage output, initially high fire rate, and increasing accuracy the longer the burst.
The HAMR has a variable rate of fire. For the first seven rounds in a burst, the HAMR will fire at 937 RPM, the fastest possible for an LMG. However, after the first seven shots within a burst, the HAMR's rate of fire will decelerate to 625 RPM, the slowest possible for an LMG.
The HAMR's centerspeed is at 1650. The HAMR's recoil per shot reduces by three percent for each bullet in a burst, up until fifteen percent, or by the time the fifth bullet in a burst is fired. This gives the HAMR a dual-personality: initially the overall recoil profile will be very heavy as the fire rate will be elevated and the recoil will be full force. By continuing to fire, however, the HAMR will stabilize significantly, firing at a much slower rate and kicking at a smaller scale.
The HAMR's handling will move at ninety percent of the base speed, aim down the sight in 450 milliseconds, move at 32% of the base speed when aiming, and have large hip-fire crosshairs. The HAMR has the second fastest reload of all LMG's, reloading in 4.25 seconds for a partial top-up, or 4.8 seconds if the drum magazine was empty. In either case the HAMR will perform a Reload Cancel in 2.5 seconds.

===Zombies===
The HAMR appears in all Zombies maps, except Mob of the Dead. It starts out with a 125-round magazine with 375 reserved. It is one of the more useful weapons, dealing moderate damage, having a large magazine, and possessing a moderately fast reload time for a light machine gun.
When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the SLDG HAMR. The SLDG-HAMR has greatly decreased recoil, making overall shooting much more accurate. As well, the damage profile is increased by a decent amount. The SLDG-HAMR is one of the weapons that can be Pack-a-Punched multiple times to cycle through attachments. Possible attachments include an ACOG Scope, a Reflex Sight, and a Foregrip.

The HAMR appears in Call of Duty: Strike Team.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops III==
The HAMR can be seen in the armory section of the map Rift from the Eclipse DLC. It can be obtained using Console Commands where it reuses the same stats as in Black Ops II. The Pack-a-Punched variant, the SLDG HAMR, also exists in Zombies, where it reuses the same stats as in Black Ops II. As the Hybrid Optic is not in the game, the ELO sight is used instead.

==Trivia==
===Call of Duty: Black Ops II===
*There is a barcode on the side of the gun like the KAP-40.
*The name of the Pack-a-Punched HAMR is "SLDG HAMR", which is a play on "Sledge Hammer".
*There is an unusable bipod on the bottom of the HAMR.
*As of patch 1.07, along with several other weapons, HAMR has roughly 30% increased recoil in Zombies.
**This is absent in Origins.
*The Create-a-Class menu icon, pick-up icon, and the first-person view shows the HAMR with a long visible barrel, while in the third-person view the HAMR has a much shorter barrel compared to the icons and first-person view. This is opposite of the SCAR-H.
*"R&W EL PASO, TEXAS", "SCAR M-ARs cal. 7.62×51", "MADE IN U.S.A." and "SANTA MONICA CA" is written on the side of the gun.
*It has its sling wrapped around the body.
*The weapon appears to be badly maintained, as the magwell appears to have cracked, and then later patched up.
