Modern Warfare 3 has hundreds of attachments (with many being virtual lookalikes that essentially do the same thing slightly differently), which makes building guns an incredibly confusing process! Looking up class setups online can be clouded by tons of clickbait and low-effort junk, so if you're looking for highly-researched and performance-tested class setups from an actual Call of Duty expert, you are in the right place! In this guide, we'll take a look at the best loadout and attachments for the RAM-7 on 6v6 maps.
Best RAM-7 Build & Attachments
The classic maximum-aggression powerhouse that goes fast, but kicks like a mule. With absolutely earth-shattering recoil right out of the box, there is a lot of work to do to reign that in and get it to controllable levels. Thankfully, our first tool to work with is the real damage range - 43.5 as long as all 5 shots hit the from the waist-up, which means you can hit the arm or shoulders any amount of times without losing out on Time-to-Kill (TTK).
Once again, we'll be exchanging Damage Range for recoil control with no penalty to handling by using the Echoline GS-X and 5.56 Low Grain Rounds in tandem. Furthermore, the Bruen Heavy Support, HVS 3.4 Pad, and Retort-90 Rear Grip all combine to lower the recoil and increase Firing Aim Stability more and more.
The end result is a very cleverly-chosen blend of recoil reduction that is nearly penalty-less in a manner of speaking; you still retain a very powerful 32.5-meter Damage Range with a tiny reduction to movement speeds and a moderate loss of Strafe Speed, but significantly improved Recoil Control (-39% Kick, -31% Horizontal, -18% Vertical) and a massive +4 Firing Aim Stability - all with an impressive 265ms ADS speed.
This version of the Ram-7 very carefully preserves the aggressive capability while giving perfectly controllable handling and recoil for mid-range engagements.

Our Testing Process: What does "Mathematically Optimized" mean?
It means that I have personally conducted over 30 hours of dedicated testing across the entire MW2 & 3 attachment set, endlessly consulted high-quality external resources and databases, and tirelessly tested performance across separate attachment combinations to produce what I believe to be the optimal build of a weapon for a specific purpose. Weapons are carefully crafted considering every possible detail - attempting to deliver the mathematically best possible performance in every category - mobility, handling, recoil, range, and accuracy.
With my builds, I believe you should see creative, never-before-seen uses of attachments that create incredible weapons. Do keep in mind that these weapons will not do the work for you - while they have all been precision-crafted to reduce horizontal recoil as much as possible, some of them still have quite noticeable vertical recoil, and it is on you to manage that vertical recoil correctly. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading about this build and every other build I have to offer on Fanbyte!
DISCLAIMER: If you test these in the Firing Range, please note that the Firing Range is currently glitched and shows more visual recoil and different damage performance than actually experienced in-game; it is best that you test these in a custom match or online.
