M16 Loadout Attachment Explained

Muzzle : VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor does wonders for improving the damage range, bullet velocity and ADS Speed of the M16. It also aids in recoil control, reducing both vertical and horizontal recoil. Stealth is an added bonus, with the suppressor keeping your shots off enemy radar.

Barrel: 14" Carbine Shroud

The 14" Carbine Shroud efficiently improves bullet velocity, recoil stability and reduces your gun sway and hip fire spread. However, it comes at the cost of slightly reduced damage range and lower movement speed.

Optic: Corio EaglesEye 2.5x

The Corio EaglesEye 2.5x allows for improved ADS speed, affording quicker target acquisition without introducing any noticeable downsides.

Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip gives a boost to ADS speed and a significant reduction in horizontal recoil, enhancing your stability when firing. It does slightly increase vertical recoil but the volume of benefits overshadows this minor drawback.

Magazine: 45 Round Mag

The 45 Round Mag gives you extra ammo capacity which is beneficial for extended firefights. While there's a slight decrease in movement speed, the additional ammo outweighs the minor negatives.
