Best Attachment Setup for the FR 5.56 Assault Rifle in MW3

This loadout aims to boost the weapon’s mobility and improve recoil control during those intense 3-round bursts. The key to winning gunfights lies in being the first to shoot and land shots on your opponent, making the ‘Sprint to Fire’ stat crucial for this build.

Here are the recommended attachments to unleash the full potential of the FR 5.56 in Modern Warfare 3:

  AttachmentChoiceReason
MuzzleVT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor Greatly optimizes recoil while extending the gun’s effective range. Plus, the suppressor keeps you off the enemy minimap during firing, ensuring stealth.
UnderbarrelXTEN Phantom-5 Handstop Enhances Sprint-to-Fire and ADS Speed, coupled with optimized vertical recoil and gun kick.
Magazine45 Round MagThe base 25-round mag feels very limiting.
OpticSlate Reflector or Mk.3 Reflector These optics provide two of the cleanest sights in MW3. Opt for a magnification scope if you prefer, though!
Rear GripRMT GripIncreases Sprint to Fire and ADS Speed for better responsiveness.

#ProTip: Try using the FR 5.56 in Single Fire mode. If you have a fast trigger finger, you might find better performance and control than the burst firing mode!
