Best Modern Warfare 3 SA-B 50 attachments
Considering there are a lot of attachments to choose from in Modern Warfare 3, there are different ways to go around using the SA-B 50 rifle, along with adapting to many different play styles in Modern Warfare 3. After some testing, we've found a combination that suits the rifle perfectly:
- Barrel: 18.5" Bryson LR Factory
- Optic: Cronen Mini Dot
- Stock: Assault-60 Stock
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Cronen Grip Wrap
The 18.5" Bryson LR Factory prevents any kind of damage drop-off, giving you the best possible chance of scoring quick kills in close-quarters and mid-range combat.
For a boost in reaction times, the Assault-60 Stock is the way to go thanks to reduced aim-down sight. In addition, this stock gives faster sprint speed and aiming speed while walking.
As always, recoil control is the key to making an impact. For better accuracy, the pairing of the Cronen Grip Wrap and Commando Foregrip stop any unnecessary kick generated from the SA-B 50's impressive firepower.
