Tarkov’s Best 5.56 Midgame Weapons!
1,705Looking for a solid mid-game 5.56 weapon to use as a routine raid beater? Today we’re looking through all of the 5.56 chambered options to decide on a few different guns that can work nicely on a budget once you have access to M856A1 rounds, which are really the minimum requirement for 5.56 at this point in the wipe.
Since the buff to 5.56 ammo, I personally feel that this caliber is pretty strong right now - although it may not be quite as good as the various 762 rounds, the decreased recoil and lower cost that you tend to get with it often makes up for it.
In the past, 5.56 was synonymous with the M4, but these days we have plenty of choice across the caliber, from the MDR, to the AK101.
