How to get Shot Blocked Achievement in Modern Warfare 3

Welcome to our friendly guide on how to achieve the challenging Shot Blocked Achievement in Modern Warfare 3. In this achievement, players are tasked with shooting a specific gun out of the air before a terrorist catches it in the 'Flashpoint' mission. Follow these steps and you'll be on your way to unlocking this achievement!Before we dive into the steps, it's important to note that this guide assumes you have already completed the necessary prerequisites to access the Flashpoint mission in Modern Warfare 3. Additionally, it's recommended to start on the Recruit difficulty for this achievement to make it easier to time your shot.

To begin, select the Flashpoint mission from the mission selection menu. Once you've started the mission, you'll need to proceed through the level until you reach the room with the 'paramedics' inside. Be cautious not to walk too far forward, as the AI will start shooting if you go too far.

Upon entering the room, you'll notice your ally, Price, standing on the left side. To maximize your chances of successfully shooting the gun out of the air, you'll want to position yourself on the right side of Price. This will give you a clear line of sight to the area where the gun will be thrown.

Once you're in position, make sure to aim down sights (ADS) and keep your crosshairs above the door handles. This will allow you to quickly react and shoot the gun out of the air when the time comes.

Timing is crucial in this achievement, so pay close attention to Price's dialogue. As Price speaks, watch for a man at the back of the room who will throw a rifle at his comrade. This is the moment you've been waiting for.

As soon as you see the rifle being thrown, keep your crosshairs above the door handles and hold down the trigger. The goal is to knock the rifle out of the air before it reaches its intended recipient. It may take a few tries to get the timing right, so don't get discouraged if you miss your shot initially.

If you happen to miss your shot, don't worry. Simply press Pause and select 'Last Checkpoint'. This will allow you to retry from the moment you enter the room, giving you another chance to shoot the gun out of the air.
