It was designed by famed American arms designer John Browning between 1885 and '87 - hence the designation. Browning would later be responsible for a variety of seminal US weapons, including the M1911 pistol. The lever action was chosen as a follow-on from Winchester's successful lever-action rifle, the Model 1873. While a reliable enough method of cycling the weapon, the lever-action was supplanted by the pump-action shotgun, notably the Model 1897 'Trench Gun'. Pump-action shotguns remain a popular choice to this day. The first 1887 shotguns were chambered for black powder 12 gauge cartridges, with a 10 gauge variant following soon after. Although the practical era of lever-action weapons was relatively short, they hold a certain notoriety as the weapons of the wild west - and the 1887's presence in Modern Warfare 2 is likely a homage to the motorcycle chase sequence in Terminator 2, in which the Model 1887 was wielded one handed and flip-cocked for maximum cinematic impact. In game, the Model 1887 deals moderate damage over a good range, when compared to other shotguns. The rate of fire is very slow - nearly one and a half seconds between each shot, so as with the SPAS-12, it's important to get a one-shot kill where possible. The 1887 is also the only weapon in Modern Warfare 2 to have its effectiveness patched in the name of weapon balance. There are but two attachments for the Model 1887; and only one of those has any major effect. Akimbo is the first unlocked, and gives you two shotguns at the cost of a greater hipfire spread and reduced range. Before the weapon was patched, the akimbo 1887s had identical range to the single shotgun; And the combination of high power with an improved rate of fire proved a little overpowering. Post-patch, the akimbo model 1887s are a shadow of their
