A look at the Ballistic Knife in Black Ops Cold War.

This spring-action knife launcher was first introduced in the original Black Ops title. Not only can this deadly melee weapon be used as a standard knife, but it can also silently fire lethal retrievable blades. While skilled players will be able to land ranged shots, this weapon is often best reserved for close-quarters fights. 

The Ballistic Knife is available in-game, though you have to complete a challenge to get your hands on it. You’ll need to find a ‘One Shot, One Kill’ medal and a melee kill in the same life across 15 different matches.
