Man of Calibre

Completed a round of Gun Master

How to unlock the Man of Calibre achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide

Gun Master is a type of free for all gametype, but with a team. Even though you're in teams, only one person can win. You start out with a simple handgun (Mp443 I believe) and for each and every gun you have to obtain a few kills, 2.

This is a lot like Gun Game in Blops and CS, there are 17 different weapons to aquire before you win. The final "gun" is the knife and here you only need one.

Full list of guns, sorted in NAME, TYPE OF GUN and NUMBER OF KILLS

1. MP443 - Single fire pistol - 2
2. 93R - 3-burst fire pistol - 2
3. .44 Magnum - Single fire pistol - 2
4. PP19 - Submachine gun - 2
5. P90 - Submachine gun - 2
6. SPAS-12 - Pump-action shotgun - 2
7. MK3A1 - Automatic shotgun - 2
8. ACW-R - Carbine - 2
9. MTAR-21 - Carbine - 2
10. AUG A3 - Assault rifle - 2
11. SCAR-L - Assault rifle - 2
12. LSAT - LMG - 2
13. L86A2 - LMG - 2
14. M417 - Semi-automatic sniper rifle - 2
15. JNG-90 - Bolt-action sniper - 2
16. M320 LVG - Grenade launcher(Does not blow up on direct impact) - 1
17.Knife - self-explanatory - 1


The trick here is to be quick with your pistol kills or else you'll be facing machine guns and shotguns. This will take a few tries, but eventually you will get lucky and win the game!

NOTE:
All of the CQ weapons in gun master can help you towards the 10 kills with each weapon achievement.
In-game, at the bottom of your screen, you can see a progress bar. This will help you to see where other players are and on what kind of gun.

Enjoy the video below by IPwnstar4hire, a gameplay of him winning gun master on Ziba Tower..

To all you that vote negative, please state why in the comments, so I can improve the solution..

I've played this 2 times from start to finish, and finished in 2nd place both times but the achievement won't pop. Any ideas?

That's weird, never encountered that myself. Perhaps reinstalling the dlc or some of the updates might help?

if achievement don't pop delete your save data on your hard disk (make a backup on usb), then just load up and play a game of Gun Master. After that replace old save data if you want to restore offline campain!

make a backup on usb than if you want reply it

I had to try a different server. Joined in progress on one server, completed it and two full rounds, no achievement. Quit that lobby and joined another server in progress, got the achievement at round end.

From what I can tell, you have to win for this to pop, not just play a game. Twice now it's only popped for the winner in my server.

Maybe a patch messed/changed the requirements at one point?

All you have to do is complete a round. But I recommend trying, so you can get kills with the new weapons. This is a video I made to help out!

To unlock this achievement you must play one game of Gun Master. It does not matter in what place you finish. However, the achievement will not unlock if you join a game in progress. You must finish one ENTIRE game to unlock the achievement.

This trophy is a little glitchy. Either that or the description is wrong. At any rate you will need to FINISH a round of Gun Master in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to get this trophy. I also had to be in the round from start to finish meaning I really had to play two. This mode was introduced with Close Quarters DLC.
