• Barrel – 20″ Bruen Silver Series

The Sakin MG38 may be a bit underpowered compared to its contemporaries, but the 20″ Bruen Silver Series barrel and Sakin Side Grip underbarrel can boost accuracy.

The SZ Holotherm is great on its own with a thermal scope that can see enemies through dust and light smoke easily. Players can use whatever low-profile optics they would like, but the thermal scope is always a nice luxury.
