Model 1887 - Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Weapon Guide

The Model 1887 is a lever-action shotgun, and is unlocked at level 67.
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 former selves, but akimbo remains the most effective combination, as the ability to fire two shots in quick succession makes up for the otherwise lethargic cycle time.
FMJ is the second attachment, and increases effective penetration of the weapon. As with all the shotguns, this is largely useless due to the slow fire rate and short effective range.
There was a brief time when the balance patch could be subverted through the use of Bling and a combination of FMJ and Akimbo; However this was short-lived, and the akimbo 1887s were since permanently left defanged.
The single shotgun still has decent damage and range, but when compared to the other shotguns it's not a strong choice. The range, damage and fire rate of the 1887 are all worse than that of the SPAS-12 - so given that the SPAS-12 is available earlier, there's no real reason to use the 1887 at all.
Akimbo does grant some advantage, through the ability to moderate fire rate, and to get two shots on a target simultaneously when needed, but they still don't fare as well as the other available choices.
To conclude: Use akimbo with the 1887 - otherwise use the SPAS-12 instead, as it's better than the single 1887 in every single way.
Pre-patch the Model 1887 was probably one of the most popular secondary choices, simply due to their devastating effectiveness.
Since the patch they're now arguably underpowered, as they don't compare favourable to the other weapons in the shotgun category.
Regardless, if you can get close they're still deadly - and the slow fire rate isn't an issue when you can get one-hit kills with the weapon. Akimbo gives you a second chance to kill, albeit at the expense of range - but if you can get close enough you'll be glad you packed two.
It's not a competitive shotgun, but the history of the weapon and cocking of the lever action certainly makes it a bad-ass one.
