Best MW3 BAL-27 Attachments

After spending some time in the gunsmith, this set of attachments are excellent options:

  • Barrel: Crown-H3 Barrel
  • Optic: MK .3 Reflector
  • Stock: Sandbar Heavy Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: Hammer Grip

For a boost in bullet velocity and range, the Crown-H3 Barrel is the first of our five attachments. It also enhances movement speed. Up next is the MK. 3 Reflector for a crystal-clear view of the action.

To tame the recoil of the BAL-27, the Sandbar Heavy Stock comes into its own thanks to its ability to tame the high levels of kick and provides some additional stability.

For the fastest reaction times, the DR-6 Handstop slots into the underbarrel category thanks to its faster aim-down sight speed, sprint-to-fire time, and movement speed.

Lastly, the Hammer Grip rounds off the build, adding even quicker ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time into the mix.

Best MW3 BAL-27 Perks and Equipment

Once the best BAL-27 attachments are ready for action, selecting the right perks and equipment is the next step to building the strongest loadout. Here's what we recommend:

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Quick Grip
  • Boots: Stalker
  • Gear: EOD Padding

The infantry vest increases Tac Sprint duration and reduces its refresh time, allowing you to make the most of the BAL-27's mobility. Paired with quick-grip gloves, and you can swap back and forth with ease.

Stalker boots enhance strafing and movement speeds while aiming down sights which is excellent for keeping track of fast-moving submachine gunners in the heat of battle. Lastly, EOD Padding provides resistance to any incoming explosives that could land close by.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System

Semtex provides another way of securing kills while the stun grenade slows the movement of anyone in close proximity. When timed correctly, it's easy to finish them off with the BAL-27 in hand.

For our field upgrade, we've selected the Trophy System for some extra protection from incoming projectiles.

Is the MW3 BAL-27 Meta?

The BAL-27 is an exceptional assault rifle to use in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer but with plenty of competition in the category, there are other viable options that may perform better at longer distances. Despite this, the BAL-27 is a very strong option for those who love to run and gun.
