This MTZ-556 loadout in Modern Warfare 3 pairs the close-quarters AR with the Renetti, which can be used in a pinch if you run out of ammo during a fight. Flash Grenade is our pick for Tactical Gear, it's extremely useful for rushing objectives on the current selection of maps. Semtex is more of a personal preference here, so feel free to swap out for Frag Grenades if you rather, and make sure to choose the Munitions Box Field upgrade to compensate for how quickly this setup will burn through ammo.

In terms of Perks, go for the Quick-Grip Gloves for faster weapon swapping, the Lightweight Boots for faster movement, and the EOD Padding so that you can tank through explosives and fire. Infantry Vest is the way to go here, as it allows you to improve the refresh time on Tactical Sprint.

  • Barrel: MTZ CLINCH PRO BARREL
  • Laser: CS15 SCARLET MOUNTED LASER
  • Rear Grip: BRUEN TR-24 ASSAULT GRIP
  • Magazine: 20 ROUND MAG
  • Underbarrel: XRK EDGE BW-4 HANDSTOP

As you can see from the attachments chosen, we've tried to increase the MTZ-556's Recoil Control and ADS speed. The laser is for boosting these stats, though do keep in mind that it is visible to other players. The 20 Round Mag allows you to speed up the time it takes to go from sprint to firing, though does mean you'll be reloading more. Luckily, it also applies a boost to reload quickness. There's an underbarrel in this build that does apply a very small negative to accuracy, but absolutely makes up for it in handling and boosting Aim Walking Speed.

So there you have it, that's the best loadout for the MTZ-556 AR in Modern Warfare 3.
