The iconic M16 rifle can finally be made into a fully automatic rifle in MW3 thanks to the JAK Patriot Aftermarket part.

In this guide, we’ll detail down the best JAK Patriot loadout for the M16 and class setup in MW3.

In order to make it viable properly, you’ll need to accompany it with some specific attachments as well as an overall class setup to complement it.

Since the JAK Patriot already takes up one modification slot, we’ll have four of these left to make the M16 stand out. We’ve focused on improving its accuracy and recoil control to make it an automatic beast that can outperform some of the more commonly used ARs, like the M4

First off, the 5.56 Armor Piercing Rounds are a must because they can do some serious damage to any opponent at close as well as mid-range encounters.

Then, we went with the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider for the muzzle, as it greatly improves the weapon’s vertical and horizontal recoil. It also improves the firing aim stability which makes it a vital attachment to have.

The FSS Ole-V Laser from MW2 improves the overall aiming stability massively as well as the ADS and sprint-to-fire speed. It’s also one of the more well-balanced laser attachments so picking this was an easy choice.

Finally, for the optic, a Dot Sight is definitely the best you can use which is why we went Slate Reflector. But, you can also with Slimline Pro, MORS Dot Sight or anything similar.

To finalize the class setup, here’s the recommended equipment and secondary weapon:

Secondary Weapon: WSP Swarm
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Frag Grenade/Semtex
Vest: Overkill Vest
Gloves: Quick-Grip Gloves
