However, the TAQ-56 Assault Rifle in Modern Warfare 2 is not a gun that players should overlook. Its superior stopping power and accuracy make it a reliable armament for achieving victory on the battlefield.

While the TAQ-56 performs well in close-range combat, Modern Warfare 2 fans should consider taking the X12 as a secondary firearm for this Assault Rifle's Loadout.
