With the Grip and Grip II attachments, the gun has practically no recoil. It should come as little surprise that the ICR-7 is in the first tier. While the guns are not ranked within the tiers, the first tier contains the six best weapons, with the second and third tiers featuring average and pretty poor guns, respectively. To help you figure out which weapons are the best at the moment, we broke the 20 primary weapons down into three tiers.
