How do you unlock the M14?

The M14 unlocks at Level 46 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is the hardest-hitting semi-automatic assault rifle in COD4, with strong reach and a 20-round magazine. It can settle fights with very few accurate hits, but every shot produces substantial recoil. Success comes from letting the sight recover rather than firing as quickly as the trigger allows. Its camo track finishes at Red Tiger (150 headshots with this weapon).

How does the M14 play in COD4?

RoleHigh-damage semi-automatic rifle
StrengthsHighest per-shot damage in the assault-rifle class; Strong range and a favorable headshot multiplier reward precision
TradeoffsVery high recoil makes rapid follow-up shots inaccurate; The 20-round magazine is restrictive if shots are rushed
Useful setupRed Dot Sight unlocks at 25 kills and gives a clearer reference for pacing accurate shots; Silencer unlocks at 75 kills; ACOG Scope unlocks at 150 kills for a deliberate marksman setup
Camo tipAim at the upper chest and allow recoil to climb into the head, then wait for the sight to settle before firing again. Accuracy matters more than reaching the fire cap.
Compared withIt hits harder than the G3 but has dramatically more recoil; the G3 is the easier choice for rapid, accurate follow-up shots.

Camo progress is per-weapon. Every camo-eligible weapon earns Digital (25 headshots), Blue Tiger (75 headshots), Red Tiger (150 headshots) in order — headshots are cumulative, so one grind clears the whole ladder.
