- Barrel - 20.5" Match Grade
- Underbarrel - Field Agent Foregrip
- Magazine - Salvo 54 RND Fast Mag
- Handle - Airborne Elastic Wrap
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War M16 is a powerful burst-fire tactical rifle that can often take enemies down in only a few shots. The Hawksmoor Precision Sight makes the weapon more focused on medium-range endeavors, while the 20.5" Match Grade barrel increases damage range. Players should add the Field Agent Foregrip for recoil control and the Salvo 54 RND Fast Mag so that reloads are quick and ammo is plentiful. The Airborne Elastic Wrap adds the finishing touch to this build by adding flinch resistance and fast ADS times to the weapon.

- Optic - Quickdot LED
- Barrel - 16" Cut Down
- Underbarrel - Foregrip

The Foregrip increases recoil control and the Sprint PAd adds a mobility boost that most LMGs will need in battle.

Sniper Rifle - LW3

Fans will likely love the 28.2" Tiger Team barrel, which increases damage, fire rate, and bullet velocity. The Front Grip adds much-needed recoil control between shots, and the Stanag 9 Round magazine offers a longer break between reloading times.
