Next on our list is the MTZ-556. With an exceptional fire rate for a 5.56 weapon, the MTZ-556 excels at both close-quarter and mid-range face-offs. While it may not be the best Long Range gun, its versatility and performance at closer ranges make it a strong contender in the Meta. Although it is an excellent alternative for the MCW, precision and timing are crucial when employing this weapon.

The Pulemyot 762, a belt-fed heavy machine gun chambers 7.62 ammunition, ranking third on our list. While it isn't your typical choice for a long-range weapon due to its slower base movement and general heaviness, it provides unprecedented suppressive fire and deals a massive amount of damage at great distances. Its high-tier status in MW3 emphasizes accuracy over speed and is best suited for players who excel at strategic positioning on the battlefield.

Falling into the 4th slot is the Holger 26. This versatile light machine gun adapts to virtually any combat scenario. Despite being chambered in 5.56 ammunition like the MCW and MTZ-556, the Holger 26 falls short in terms of recoil control and damage power. But, with the right attachments configured for longer ranges, it can still pose a threat to opponents, hence deserving its place on our list.
