The STB 556 is one of the strongest Assault Rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, when it comes to dealing damage. The STB also has good accuracy and recoil control. However, this Assault Rifle lags behind a bit when it comes to Mobility, Range, Firing rate, and Handling. Therefore, you should choose your attachments as well as the weapons class carefully.
Due to these deficiencies, it might not be a good fit for long range fights. However, it is extremely efficient in taking down your enemies when it comes to medium range and close quarter fights. Therefore, to make the most of this Assualt Rifle, choose your attachments carefully and make sure to use this Assualt Rifle in its “sweet spot.”
The STB 556 is a variant of the classic AUG rifle and despite its high fire rate, it is still a stable assault rifle. Due to its high fire rate, it is also adept at dealing a high damage per second. Because it is a high power weapon, you have to prove your melee before you can use it. Therefore, this assault rifle only unlocks when you are at level 41 in the game.

However, according to us, the best weapons loadout is that which will play to the overall strengths of the STB 556 assault rifle and will help the assault rifle to perform its best. The best loadout will counter balance all the little drawbacks in this weapon and will ensure that it runs its best.
Instead of giving you one combination, we will tell you the pros and cons of different attachments you can use.
These are the attachments that, according to us, are best suited for your STB 556 assault rifle:
- Barrel: You can attach the 18″ Bruen Guerrilla barrel is a versatile barrel that can be used with any weapon. In the STB 556, the 18″ Bruen Guerrilla barrel will provide you with additional damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control. You might be thinking that the 24.4″ Bruen S-620 is a better choice. However, keep in mind that this gun does not require additional recoil control and this barrel will decrease your mobility even more. Instead of the 24.4″ Bruen S-620, try going for 508 mm Rear Guard barrel which will provide you with better damage and better bullet velocity.
- Optic: For the optic attachment, you should go for the Cronen Mini Red Dot. This is a clear scope, that will help you get a clear shot. One of its features is that it has precision sight, however, it will slow down your aim down sight speed.
- Underbarrel: You can go for the Demo IMP-44 Grip. This grip will improve your aim when you are standing idle and aiming. It will also make your hip fire more accurate and provide you with more recoil stability. However, it will slow down your walking speed. If you use the Operator Foregrip, it will give you better walking aim, hip fire accuracy, and recoil control.
- Rear Grip: For the rear grip, you should go for the STIP 40 Grip. This provides an additional boost to the recoil control and is better than the other grips available for the STB 556. However, it will weaken your aiming stability a little.
- Muzzle: Choose the FTAC Castle Comp if you wish to have better horizontal and vertical recoil control. The Harbinger D20 can be your other choice. It will provide you with better Bullet speed and Recoil Smoothness.
