Best Assault Rifle and Loadout

Following are the best assault rifles and their loadout.

Kastov 762

The Kastov 762 is currently riding high as the best weapon in the game, especially when using its most deadly loadout. This turns this otherwise average gun into an insanely powerful AR that is overpowered at the moment. With a lot of stopping power, good range and damage, and an all-around solid set of stats, it dominates multiplayer fights currently. If you haven’t already been killed by it, don’t neglect this beastly piece of hardware – and start killing with it.

Ammunition7.62 High Velocity

M4

It is no secret that the M4 is one of the best weapons in Modern Warfare 2. It is renowned for its accuracy, reliability, and power, making it capable of earning quick kills. It also has the perfect balance of what you would want from every type of gun; describing it as a jack-of-all-trades is accurate.

TAQ-56

TAQ-56 is a powerful, long range rifle that can rival the M4 in terms of overall performance. However, it differs from most other rifles because it has very low recoil and high accuracy; this makes it capable of being fired at long range or close up without much of a difference between each shot.

UnderbarrelVX Pineapple Grip
Ammo5.56 High Velocity
Rear GripFSS Combat Grip

Kastov 74U

Although the Kastov 74U is actually the AK-74u, it was always an SMG in past games. However, its mobility and speed compensate for its difficulty in handling like a rifle or sniper, so you play it mostly like an SMG. Although it differs from other weapons on this list, it has the strength of an assault rifle (AR) and a submachine gun (SMG), so it should be highly rated.

STB-556

There are plenty of customizable parts available for the STB-556 when it comes to comfortability. The gun has low recoil, fast handling speeds, and plenty of customizable parts available for it. As a result of its damage per second (TTK), it isn’t worth using unless you need a cheap yet reliable gun.
