How do mastery camos work in MW3?

After unlocking a weapon’s full suite of base camos, then come the mastery camos. One mastery camo is unlocked for doing that, while another is unlocked by getting the first mastery camo for all guns in the same archetype, and so on.

Basically, the challenge gets bigger as the camos get cooler. To fully unlock all camos in the game, it will take most players months to do so, while the most dedicated players will likely pop off on social media about how they got it done in just a few weeks.
