Best Modern Warfare 3 Sidewinder attachments

After testing numerous attachment combinations to make the Sidewinder somewhat useable, we've found this set of five attachments that drastically improves its performance:

  • Barrel: Rattleback Deadeye 16" Barrel
  • Optic: Slimline Pro
  • Stock: SL Warforged Precision Stock
  • Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: RB Borealis Grip

The Rattleback Deadeye 16" Barrel is the only attachment improving bullet velocity guaranteeing minimal damage drop-off at longer distances. The main focus is addressing the terrible recoil of the Sidewinder which is where the SL Warforged Precision Stock and RB Borealis Grip come into play.

To tame the vertical recoil even further, the FTAC MSP-98 Handstop tries its best to bring the fire rate in line with the target in front of you.
