Including the ones from MW2, there are about 100 weapons you can play with in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, but not all of them are powerful against the undead enemies. Here's a guide to the Akimbo TYR pistol build, which is easily a meta weapon in MWZ.
Best TYR loadout and build for MW3 Zombies
- Barrel: ZIU-16 Heavy Long Barrel
- Laser: Verdant Hook Mounted Laser
- Ammunition: 12.7x55mm Snake Shot
- Trigger Action: Ullr's Fury
- Rear Grip: Akimbo TYR
The most important attachments that make the best TYR build overpowered are the Snake Shot ammo and Akimbo rear grip. While the former turns the handgun into a high-damage shotgun, the latter allows you to dual-wield the weapon. Then I used the Ullr's Fury trigger for improved fire rate and Verdant laser for better hipfire accuracy. Finally, equip the longest barrel for a boost to the pistols' range.

The TYR build shared above is arguably the most powerful close-range weapon in MW3 Zombies as it can kill even the special or elite bosses in a few shots. Make sure to Pack-a-Punch the dual pistols to higher levels and improve their rarity using Aether Tool before using them in Medium or High Threat Zones.
Alongside the Akimbo TYR loadout, I suggest using Decoy Grenades as your tactical so you can throw them and draw zombies away whenever in trouble. For the lethal and field upgrade slots, you may select the Throwing Knife and Aether Shroud respectively. As for the perks, it's always good to acquire as many as you can, however, Speed Cola is highly recommended so you can reload the TYR faster.
