Players are always wondering why some specific weapons or items are not used throughout the Call of Duty Competitive play. This restriction extends to attachments or throwable. This happens due to what’s called the Gentleman’s Agreement.
Professional players of Call of Duty collectively vote to change some rules of COD Esports. These players vote to have a specific weapon in the competitive play or not. Every year there is chaos in the community with respect to some weapons that will be excluded from the competitive play.
Sometimes a weapon is too overpowered in itself, or an attachment makes it that way, which might not be suitable for competitive play but is not officially banned so the pros take it in their hands and decide if the item will be unofficially banned. This is not added to the official competitive settings, but followed by all the pro players.

The GA is important to make Competitive plays more fair and competitive. As it removes anything which could be dominating the game and the results should only depend on the Skill level of the players and their coordination.
