Attachments breakdown for best VEL 46 loadout

First, we have the Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider. This flash improves the weapon’s recoil control and provides the Muffler Flash Concealment. 

You will lose around 9% of your ADS speed with it, but it’s still lower than what other muzzles provide.

For the underbarrel, we’ve equipped the Kimura Ryn-03 Vertical Grip. This attachment enhances gun kick control, reduces vertical recoil, and minimizes aiming idle sway. It also improves stability while aiming your weapon.

For the rear grip, we’re using the Schalger Soldier Grip, which significantly boosts aim-down-sight and sprint-to-fire speed. Although it slightly decreases recoil and gun kick control, it compensates by enhancing the speed lost from other attachments.

To further improve aiming stability, aim-down-sight speed, and sprint-to-fire speed, we’ve added the VLK LZR 7MW laser.

To increase the ammo capacity, we’re using the 50-Round Mag. As the VEL 46 is an SMG, you want to make sure you’re using a large magazine with it. Otherwise, you’ll constantly find the need to reload again and again.

This was everything you needed to know about the best VEL 46 loadout in MW3.
