Best attachments for Kastov 545 in Modern Warfare 2

The aforementioned attachments will capitalize on the rifle's strengths and minimize its weaknesses. Here's how they modify the Kastov 545:

Barrel: The IG-K30 406MM boosts the weapon's recoil control statistics, along with damage range and bullet velocity. The gun already has a good damage range; however, using this attachment improves this attribute even further, making it deadly across all ranges. Moreover, improved bullet velocity ensures that targets are eliminated faster, regardless of how far or near they are.

Laser: The Schlager PEQ Box IV improves the weapon's ADS speed, which is, by default, quite slow. Players who can aim-down-sights faster will always come out on top when it comes to close to mid-range combat.

Muzzle: The Echoline GS-X works great as a suppressor and makes controlling recoil easier. Although it reduces the range by a bit, the Barrel compensates for this with its improved damage range.

Underbarrel: The XTEN Drop Grip makes the rifle more accurate while hip-firing as well as when aiming down sights. However, this attachment hits the walking speed and slows the player down.

Rear Grip: The True-Tac Grip minimizes one of the weapon's weaknesses, which is a slow aim-down-sight speed. Moreover, it counters the XTEN Drop Grip's negative effect on movement speed by increasing the sprint to fire speed.
