To further increase the gun's mobility, one can swap out the stock with Markeev R7 Stock.Regarding optics, some players are confident using iron sights and can add other attachments by removing the Cronen Mini Red Dot.4) STB 556STB 556 in Modern Warfare 2 (Image via callofduty.com)Optics: Cronen Mini Red DotBarrel: 24.4" Bruen S-620Laser: VLK LZR 7MWStock: Bruen HCR 56 StockComb: FTAC C11 RiserThanks to the FTAC C11 Riser on the STB 556, the recoil remains under control as only the aiming stability of the gun and aim walking speed gets negatively affected. However, mobility is regained by the efficient VLK LZR 7MW laser.It is important not to choose a rear grip here to retain the overall balance of the gun, making it an efficient assault rifle in close to midrange engagements.3) M4M4 in Modern Warfare 2 (Image via callofduty.com)Optics: Cronen Mini ProBarrel: Hightower 20" BarrelRear Grip: Phantom GripStock: Demo Precision Elite FactoryMuzzle: FTAC Castle CompThe M4 had a reputation for being one of the most versatile guns in Modern Warfare. Hence, the sequel doesn't disappoint with the gun's potential. However, prioritizing its recoil control is the safest bet for multiplayer modes in Modern Warfare 2.Using Ravage-8 or Demo Fade Pro stocks are also viable choices depending on one's style of gameplay.
