Post: Do you think the M16 is still the best assault rifle?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My usual and most popular setup with the M16A3 (Pre-patch) was a Cobra Sight + Foregrip + Suppressor. With the new patch out, this setup isn't that effective, since the foregrip increases the spread of your bullets including the suppressor, which makes this setup horrible for mid-long ranges. I've been messing around with a few setups with the M16A3 and I've found that putting a foregrip + flash suppressor is best for all ranges. From what I've heard, the flash suppressor gives you an accuracy bonus. Combining this with a foregrip will cancel out the foregrip's accuracy/spread penalty resulting in a pretty similar feel of the foregrip + suppressor setup (Pre-patch). Try this class out. Would love some responses telling me if this class preforms like the old M16 or not.

I will admit that other guns have gotten a LOT stronger, but the M16A3 is still the best.
Oh and also, what happened to the extended mags from the B2K LMGs?

Do a barrel roll!
I found that using heavy barrel alone will give you good accuracy from mid to long range,my best setup for M16A3 now for mid to long range is with heavy barrel + laser sight for hip fire accuracy.

M16A3 is what dice balanced all other guns against
As a result it jack of all trades master of nothing. But that what makes it so good Smile
Best gun in the game.......yes still better choices it depends what you want your gun to do.

Foregrip + flash = less recoil
Heavy = less bullet spread
Bipod + Suppressor = good

When i can find the weapon accuracy plots again am going to post them up along with the best attachments based on them.

AK47 also good more accurate if i remember right.

I didn`t notice too much of a change in the foregrip & suppressor, i can easily pick off people at mid to long range combined with selecting single fire on at times.


Mod? :wtf: when did this happen? and the Grip and heavy barrel works great for med range

Kertz’ Comments: This has been a clear source of confusion in the community. Should I pair a Foregrip with my Heavy Barrel after the update? My answer is a definite yes. Although the Foregrip decreases Aimed Accuracy, the Heavy Barrel’s Aimed Accuracy bonus has been increased to offset the Foregrip’s penalty. Pairing the two will still give you much greater Aimed Accuracy than a stock weapon, as well as reducing your muzzle drift. You will see some increased muzzle climb, however you’ll also be getting increased range out of the Heavy Barrel so your hits will have more impact at Medium Range.

I actually like the M416. I have over 1000 kills with it. It's decent at long range and has great stopping power up close.

Grip + Suppressor is terrible for bullet spread now, Much prefer the Flash Suppressor and no Grip since there is hardly any horizontal recoil with the M16, Saying that really enjoying the L85 just now, with a flash suppressor its like a laser beam, no recoil whatsoever. KH20002 is also a good choice for longer range maps as it has the same fire rate as the M16 if you use it properly, and its mega accurate with Kobra + Heavy Barrel.
