Our primary goal with this MCW loadout is to leverage the weapon’s already low recoil and optimize it further, turning it into a precise laser. We’ll also maintain our mobility for an aggressive playstyle. Here are my recommendations for the best attachments for your MCW in COD MW3:

Attachment Choice Reason

Barrel Second Line Mammoth Heavy Barrel Increases Damage Range and bullet velocity, optimizing mid to long-range combat and making the gun more versatile.
Underbarrel Chewk Angled Grip Further controls horizontal recoil and gun kick while increasing aim walking (strafing) speed.
Optic Mk.23 Reflector It improves mobility by enhancing movement, sprint, and strafing speed, allowing you to maintain an aggressive stance and compete with SMGs.
Stock Tempus A90 Strike Improves mobility by enhancing movement, sprint, and strafing speed, allowing you to maintain an aggressive stance and compete with SMGs.
