This is one of many MW2 guides written by me, split up for readability. In this thread I will cover the ARs of MW2, including a quick description about power, fire rate and overall usability, as well as my recommendation for attachments as well as attachment compatibility.
M4A1 Carbine
Spoiler:
The M4A1 is the first unlocked AR, along with the FAMAS following second. It is a fully automatic weapon falling in the lower tier in power terms. All in all, the high fire rate coupled with superb accuracy makes it a great weapon.
The FAMAS is a 3-round burst weapon with high accuracy and standard magazine capacity. Although classed as a lower-powered weapon, it is usually capable of killing in one burst with Stopping Power.
The SCAR-H is a powerful, accurate and fully automatic AR. As a high-powered weapon in MW2, is is usually capable of killing in 4-6 shots without Stopping Power, and 2-3 with. The only downfalls to this weapon are it's smaller 20-round magazine and lower rate of fire, however Extended Mags increase the mag size to 30.
The TAR-21 is indisputably one of the most powerful weapons in the game - it's high fire rate, power, and low unlock level (21) make it a popular weapon. It is most comparable to the AK-47 in terms of power, accuracy, and fire rate.
The only semi-automatic AR of MW2 - the FAL. It boasts excellent accuracy, power, and fire rate (providing you can pull the trigger fast enough). This weapon makes for an excellent long range weapon when equipped with either and ACOG Scope or a Thermal scope. Downfalls are semi-automatic firing action and smaller magazine (20 rounds).
The powerful alternative to the FAMAS. Providing both high power and accuracy, as well as magazine size, it is a well-rounded weapon. In general it is a one-burst kill (3 shot burst) without Stopping Power. The only downfalls are the fact that you unlock it at level 40 and it's a burst weapon - even at that still an excellent choice.
My personal favorite - the ACR boasts fully automatic, accurate ownage. It has a steady fire rate roughly in between the M4A1 and AK-47/Tar-21. An excellent overall weapon for all ranges. Although it has lower power than other ARs and isn't unlocked until level 48, you won't be disappointed.
The F2000 has the highest fire rate of all assault rifles. It's heavy recoil provides decent headshot action, however it can be otherwise difficult to control. I personally like the iron sights on this weapon and it's high accuracy, but it's low power probably isn't for everyone considering you unlock it at such a high level.
The king of ARs, and the last weapon unlocked. The deadly AK-47 has huge power, capable of killing enemies with 2 shots when combined with Stopping Power, however it does have relatively poor accuracy and high recoil. A somewhat prestigious weapon since most do not have it unlocked, it is undoubtedly a favorite of plenty.
I just prefer it psychologically mainly. Sounds better, feels better, looks better, makes me use it better. Plus I like knowing that I don't show up on the radar when I fire it
