MW3 Week 7: How to Get the JAK Patriot Kit for M16
As a dedicated Call of Duty player, I'm excited to share that Modern Warfare 3 has released its final aftermarket part this season! The JAK Patriot Kit is here, and it transforms the M16 from a burst-fire rifle into a fully automatic powerhouse. Let me break down everything you need to know about this game-changing attachment.
What Makes the JAK Patriot Kit Special?
The JAK Patriot Kit completely changes how the M16 handles in combat. Here's what I've discovered after testing it:
-
Full-auto conversion: Turns the burst-fire M16 into a proper automatic rifle
-
MW3-style handling: Significantly reduced visual recoil and gun smoke compared to MW2 weapons
-
Damage profile: 32 damage to body, 41 damage to head (no limb modifiers)
-
Fire rate: Approximately 596 RPM, slightly slower than the M4 but more controllable
-
Recoil control: Built for accuracy rather than raw stopping power
This kit makes the M16 feel like a native MW3 assault rifle, perfect for players who value precision over brute force.
