Three Call of Duty 3 achievements are awarded to players who can complete a mission using a specific gun type.

Players beginning Chapter 3 or 6 of gameplay will begin with a soldier that is equipped with a bolt action rifle. Assault Trooper is awarded to a player who completes a mission while exclusively using assault rifles, such as the M1 Garand. Players beginning Chapter 2 of gameplay will begin equipped with an assault rifle.

If you want to earn one of these achievements but you don't start with the gun you need, use melee attacks, as they will not count against these achievements.
Also available as an achievement is Hot Potato, which is awarded to a player who picks up and returns five live grenades during the course of a mission. The Hot Potato achievement is worth 25 Gamerscore points.
Minimalist Achievements
A number of achievements are available to players who manage to complete missions by taking a minimal amount of damage or using a minimal amount of ammunition. A player is awarded the Conservationist achievement by completing a mission while firing less than 300 rounds of ammunition. The Conservationist award is worth 20 Gamerscore points. Close Quarter Combatant is awarded to players who manage to survive an entire mission without firing one gun. This achievement, worth 100 Gamerscore points, can be accomplished by executing only melee weapons attacks or hand attacks. Chapter 2 is recommended as a good candidate to choose when trying to earn Close Quarter Combatant.
Allergic to Bullets is an achievement awarded to players who manage to survive through a mission while being hit less than 30 times by opponent weapons. Allergic to Bullets is worth 25 Gamerscore points. Still Ticking is awarded to a player who completes a mission without using a single checkpoint or dying once. Still Ticking is worth 30 Gamerscore points. Allergic to Bullets and Still Ticking are easiest to attain on Chapter 1, but you will need to proceed with the utmost caution.
Single Player Campaign
Achievements can be earned for completely finishing the single player campaign mode of Call of Duty 3. Won the War, worth 80 Gamerscore points, is awarded to a player who completes the campaign mode using any difficulty level. Grizzled Veteran, worth 150 Gamerscore points, is attained by players for completing the campaign mode on Veteran, the hardest difficulty setting.
Secret Awards
Two of the achievements available during Call of Duty 3 game play are not displayed in the list available through the Xbox console. Because their identity is hidden in the game, they are considered "secret" awards. These secret awards are Purple Heart and Big Air. The Purple Heart achievement is awarded to a player who finishes a mission despite dying multiple times. This can be achieved during any level by "overcooking" grenades, or holding on to a grenade until it blows up. Dying 20 times in this manner will earn you the Purple Heart achievement, worth 5 Gamerscore points, upon completion of the mission. Big Air is awarded to a player who can attain a high jump while driving a vehicle. Most of the missions including vehicle use will have ramps that can be utilized to attain Big Air. If you are driving a Vera, you can launch your vehicle by hitting a fallen tree at high speeds.
