The Tyr pistol inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is a five-round revolver that packs quite a heavy punch. Even on its own without attachments, this deadly little gun is a one-shot kill in short to mid-range fights. All you need to do is connect your shot and you are golden.

On top of its heavy damage, the Tyr is surprisingly accurate. Taking advantage of that accuracy to help improve damage range in the Gunsmith can give you a one-shot kill at all ranges. Use the rest of your loadout to speed up the reload of the gun, and you will be ready to jump into a fight.
