UnderbarrelDR-6 Handstop

This is a burst-firing Assault Rifle which can kill an enemy with 3 shots (single burst) if you land 2 head shots. It has one of the fastest TTK of all weapons if you are confident with your aiming skills, but realistically it often requires 4 shots (2 bursts) to get a kill. The DG-56 is a similar weapon but most important stats of the FR 5.56, such as TTK and ADS Speed, are not as good as the DG-56. However this weapon has a longer range.

This build focuses on having less need to reload. The default Magazine has only 25 rounds so we selected the 45 Round Magazine and made up for the ADS Speed lowered by the Magazine using the Laser and Underbarrel. Getting headshots is crucial for this weapon so you will need the Optic.
