Although theHarbinger D20has some minor penalties, it can give a major boost to bullet velocity which makes the trade more than worth it. Additionally, the heavy silencer goes a long way to making the rifle more reliable at longer ranges.
The15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel, is also a heavy attachment that will drastically improve the Lachmann-556’s range and recoil control, turning it into an extremely accurate mid-range weapon.
To go completely overkill on recoil control, we’ve paired the attachments with theFTAC Ripper 56. This will additionally tame a lot of the rifle’s idle sway while aiming, which we find is very useful particularly since we’re using ironsights instead of a scope.
The5.56 High Velocityattachment is a game-changer, pushing the Lachmann-556’s bullet velocity to near sniper rifle levels.
