There are plenty of ways to increase your Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreak, but the safest and most reliable way is to load an assault rifle and spray the entire area nearby with lead. Since game companies realized they could make money by letting gamers get their hands on war activities where they could kill themselves, the assault rifle has been a staple of the genre.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is no different. Dive into the multiplayer mode and you'll find more assault rifles than you can shake a dismembered leg, but which should you keep in your arsenal and which should you avoid altogether? This guide hopes to answer that question for you.
FAL
The worst part is that the FAL hits like a mule, which means you're going to have a really hard time using anything with this weapon, unless it's a foot away from you and it is always a breeze. It doesn't help that his rate of fire is pretty lousy too. Avoid at all costs unless you really enjoy a challenge or are a returning Call of Duty veteran.
FN SCAR 17
Another assault rifle powerful enough to break a wall, the FN SCAR 17 also suffers from a slow rate of fire, but if you can manage to deal with it, or know it in the past, you'll soon realize that 'She can do a lot of damage over a long distance, so it's a much better option for the FAL.
ODEN
Perhaps this is another weapon that suffers from a slow rate of fire. Considering that these are assault rifles, it's quite surprising, but there is enough money to catch up with it. It's devilishly accurate too, which means as long as you've got something to imagine you're guaranteed to present it.
KILO 141
It's an indomitable beast that will crackle in your hand and drag your cannon around, but it's deadly at close range, so it's okay if you're struggling to control recoil. Get caught in an ambush and you should be able to make your way out of this corner without much trouble.
M4A1
If you add the right components to the M4A1, you can turn a pretty unspectacular assault rifle into a pretty decent weapon. Just make sure to update the sights and stock and you should have a lightweight killing machine that will keep a good eye on you in combat midway through. If you don't then it's a bit, eh.
M13
The M13 is quite similar to the M4A1 in that it is a very good way to reduce the number of mid-range players and without you having to do anything to improve its overall performance. Just don't use its default sight as it's an iron charge and you won't be able to hit the side of a barn if you use it.
AK-47
Grandpa of all assault rifles, the AK-47 is still one of the best and most reliable guns in real life and in all forms of FPS. It suffers from the same recoil issues as a few of the others in this guide, but once you figure out how to fight it, you'll pulverize hordes of enemies with the best of them.
FR 556
The FR 556 is the best assault rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It's a precision weapon that kills everything in the room and if you find yourself caught between the hammer and a very well-armed spot, the FR 556 will get you out of it as fast as you can. It also comes with burst shots, which means if you can hit it and with that much precision, you'll never be able to get up again.
