Why use the Raal MG in MW3?
As discussed, the Raal MG can feel heavy but is otherwise a great all-around LMG capable of a good damage output with a rapid rate of fire and surprising accuracy for an LMG. For this build, we’ve prioritised attachments that will improve the handling of the gun while maintaining its positive attributes, giving a good boost to ADS speed and range, and optimising it for mid to long-range combat.
Best Raal MG loadout in MW3
For this build, we want to boost the damage output of the Raal MG at longer ranges. This means you’ll need a good muzzle such as theFTAC Reaper, which will effectively increase damage range and bullet velocity. The drawback to this is that the Raal MG may feel a tad clunkier, so we also recommend using theFSS Riot Stockand theFFS OLE-V Laserto retrieve some of that much-needed ADS speed.
Additionally, to work on that pesky recoil control, try adding theDemo Narrow Gripto increase your aiming stability and recoil stabilisation. This will help iron out mobility issues and ensure those golden two-shot kills.
When possible, applying a good optic can help elevate a gun further, adding some extra accuracy. Although most optics will do the job, consider theCronen Mini Proas a worthy attachment option.

Best Raal MG class setup: Secondary weapon
Lockwood 300, Renetti.
One of thebest shotguns in Modern Warfare 3currently is theLockwood 300, an absolute powerhouse in terms of damage without the negative mobility and handling drawbacks that shotguns sometimes have.
If you’re less keen on equipping additional primary weapons and are lacking either the Gunner or Overkill Vest to do so, we recommend theRenetti, one of thebest pistols in Modern Warfare 3at the moment. This is mainly due to its highly damaging burst rounds, capable of great damage, accuracy and low recoil, especially when equipped with the JAK Ferocity Carbine conversion kit.
Best Raal MG class setup: Perks and Equipment
Demolition Vest, Stun Greande, Frag Grenade, Heartbeat Sensor, Ordnance Gloves, Tac Mask, Stalker Boots.
For this build, we want to optimise speed and choose equipment that will help finish enemies off when the Raal MG falters at close range. For this reason, we think theDemolition Vesthas some positive perks, particularly the ability to resupplyTacticalandLethalequipment every 25 seconds. When paired with some useful equipment choices like aStun GrenadeandFrag Grenadeyou can rely more on these additions for firepower support. Thevestalso allows you to deploy with twice the amount of Lethals, which is a helpful boost.
When choosinggloves, consider theOrdnance Gloveswhich will allow you to throw equipment further and reset fuses on thrown-back grenades, further taking advantage of the vest perks in the process. When combined with theStalker Bootsyou can also have improved strafe and ADS movement speed, to help elevate the mobility of the build.
ForGear, we think theTac Maskis a good choice as it helps reduce the effects of enemy flash, stun, and gas grenades - just in case opponents try to hit you back with your own tactics. Lastly, consider picking theHeartbeat Sensorto round off the equipment choices in this build. It will help you identify when enemies are close and ready to be picked off.
