Best Attachments for Fast ADS Speeds
We wanted to dedicate a page to the various Attachments to get the fastest ADS Speeds in Modern Warfare. The tables below will show how the standard attachments affect Aim Down Sight Speed, and in some cases, where necessary, we will add in some specific attachments and show how they affect the ADS Speed. From the charts below, you can find the best attachments for fast ADS Speeds in Modern Warfare.
First, we’ll go ahead and list the normal Attachments. These may slightly vary weapon by weapon, but in general, will be very close to the numbers listed below. Specific weapons and variations can also be seen on some of the Weapon Infographics and Detail pages.
Note, the numbers here are listed in Frames, with each frame being about 16.67ms @ 60FPS. Numbers that are < 1 mean that there is some impact, but not noticable. Combining multiple < 1 attachments could create a noticable ADS Change.
Standard Attachments available on most all Weapons
In the tables below Negative numbers make you ADS Faster, Positive numbers will make you ADS Slower. In general, there are only 2 standard attachments, the Tac Laser and Stippled Grip tape which will make you ADS Faster, many of the other Ammo, Stock or specialized barrels have ADS Speed improvements, some of which are listed below, others can be found on the detailed weapon infographics, see Here.
To see how all the standard attachments affect ADS Speed, review the tables below.
Note that Positive Numbers Increase the amount of time to ADS, while the Negative numbers will decrease your ADS time.

Best Barrels for Fastest ADS Speeds
The table below will show which barrel decreases ADS the most for a particular weapon, so if you are looking for the Barrel attachment with the greatest impact to get a faster ADS speed for a particular weapon, see the table below. If the weapon isn’t listed, usually the shortest barrel will decrease ADS time between 2-4 frames.
As a general note though, it is important to realize that almost all of the barrels that decrease ADS Speed will also decrease bullet velocity, which decreases the dropoff damage ranges (10-20% in most cases), and they also increase Recoil. These are intended for use in closer quarters engagements or on smaller maps.

Specialized Stealth Attachments – No Tracers
This section doesn’t have anything to do with ADS Speeds, but we thought it would be a fun addition in case you took the time to read this far.
The below attachments are special in that they provide no visible tracers that the enemy can see and in addition to that, do not show your enemy the skulls of enemies you kill. These help to provide an additional level of stealth to your build.
| Weapon | Attachment | Att. Type |
|---|---|---|
| M13 | .300 Blackout Rounds 30 Mags | Ammunition |
| MP5 | Subsonic Integral Suppressor | Barrel |
Hopefully this helps in your ADS Speed Gun Smithing! We tried to be pretty comprehensive with regards to the best attachments for fast ADS Speeds in Modern Warfare.
