How do you unlock the G36C?

The G36C unlocks at Level 37 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is a fully automatic rifle with the same per-shot damage as the M4 Carbine but a slower fire rate and different handling. It has more recoil than the M4, yet noticeably less idle sway when holding a fixed angle. That makes it best suited to measured medium- and longer-range bursts. Its camo track finishes at Red Tiger (150 headshots with this weapon).

How does the G36C play in COD4?

RoleStable lane-holding assault rifle
StrengthsLow idle sway helps when holding distant sightlines; Manageable automatic fire remains useful across medium range
TradeoffsSlower firing and more recoil than the M4 Carbine; Low per-shot damage makes missed rounds costly
Useful setupRed Dot Sight unlocks at 25 kills and improves visibility through controlled bursts; Silencer unlocks at 75 kills; ACOG Scope unlocks at 150 kills and takes advantage of the low idle sway
Camo tipCrouch or go prone when holding a long angle, then fire short bursts at head height. The reduced sway in supported positions makes small corrections easier.
Compared withIt is calmer while holding a lane than the M4 Carbine, but the M4 fires faster, recoils less and handles aggressive fights better.
