Front grip vs. rifle laser
Front grips are overated they do not increase your accuracy in a gun battle at all. The only way they increase your accuracy is when your standing still and shooting however when you begin to move that is when all accuracy is lost and your gun just becomes a regular rifle with a laser.

Rifle Laser are better than front grips because although the bullets may not go straight while you go full auto in the standing or crouch position. By tapshotting the bullets will be just as acurate as a rifle on full auto with a front grip. Rifles with rifle lasers and suppressors are just as acurate as ones with front grips you just have to play smart.

Post feedback on my theory if you agree or object.

Test it for your self:

Go to a respawn and stand in a still postion standing or crouch and unload with out removing your finger from the trigger on a wall where you can see the bullets holes with a rifle with a rifle laser than try the same thing but moving around as if you are in a gun battle.

Then choose a rifle with a rifle laser and tap shot whille standing still on the wall and notice that there is no difference then move around and shoot and notice that there is still no difference to the gun with the rifle laser.

In conclusion front grips are just added luxieries all in all go with the laser because you will have a bigger kill zone and the same accuracy as long as you play smart.

What you posted is basic common knowledge. The front grip doesnt increase accuracy, it really cuts down on recoil. The rifle laser helps with accuracy by adding that annoying red dot in the center of the screen.

I play the game on single shot for the most part and its obvious that if you stand still you will be more accurate. Only time I play full auto is on close quarter maps, and even then I still "double tap" and burst. Try playing the game on single shot, you kill alot more people especially when they start reloading.

I use a laser and silencer 1 whenever I gun, it makes it easier to aim with.

I can easily pick off people far away with a rifle scope assault rifle bursting, so yes. The rifle laser owns the front grip.

The laser is crap, you can't see there heads you have to guess. I like to be able to see their head so front grip. I never use the laser but I'd take the laser over the silencer. Silencers suck, they made this game a camp fest.

NOW THIS IS NOT AN OPINION! LASER + FRONT GRIP OWNS ALL

I strongly disagree with you that the rifle laser is better.

The only time I use the rifle laser is if I have the front grip attached or if I have another attatchment taking up the front grip's slot (which is only wheb I use the Mk and have a bipod attached). Wait, I lied. When I use the AK I attach the rifle laser but that's only because the front grip isn't available.

Your so called "test" isn't realistic either. Of course firing in short bursts is more accurate.

I'm perfectly fine with the set-up I use, which is usually a front grip and 4x scope or I swap the scope with surpressor two.

I strongly agree with Scuba Steve here.

The front grip is without a doubt, the best accessory when it comes to gun stabilization/full auto accuracy.
Now don't get me wrong, the rifle laser is a great addition in its own right, given that it does add a little help in full auto accuracy, and definitely gives a hand in quick, point and click shooting. But all in all, the front grip completely "pwnz" the rifle laser.

Although, grab an IW-80A2 or an RA-14 and slap a front grip & rifle laser combo and see the sheer power of that combination in full auto accuracy.

No arguing there, the front grip and rifle laser is the best combination for accuracy.

However, in terms of seperation, the front grip does perform better than the rifle laser.

It's all but fact that the rifle laser helps more when you're moving. If you tend to run around and shoot, try playing with it for a few days and you'll see how much better it is. The front grip is better if you're sitting still, from what I've seen.
