    This time, we're covering the M8A1.
    A new addition to the Call of Duty arsenal, this weapon is unusual in that it fires a four-round burst by default - and is unlocked at level 49.
    The M8A1 is a fictional derivative of the German XM8 rifle design, first seen in 2002.
    The rifle was produced by Heckler and Koch at the behest of the US Army, seeking a potential future replacement for the AR-15 platform currently in service.
    The XM8 designation was assigned in the wake of the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) contract, a project which sought a futuristic all-in-one infantry rifle.
    The project fell through, but the XM8 design was brought about as a result - a modular derivative of the German G36 rifle design, making extensive use of modern composite materials.
    Ultimately, the XM8 project was discontinued in 2005 - the performance gains over the existing platforms in service not deemed worth the investment cost for replacement.
    Presumably, in Black Ops 2 the project resurfaced: the M8A1 designation indicating a derivative weapon that has entered into service.
    In-game, damage is moderate: you do have the ability to kill a close-range enemy with just 3 shots, but this is only within a very short distance.
    In most cases, you can expect to kill in four or five shots: and it's worth noting that the M8A1 has no bonus headshot multiplier, so it's best to aim for centre mass.
    Penetration ability is on-par with most other assault rifles.
    The M8A1's rate of fire is incredibly high within its four-round burst: 1250 rounds per minute. As such you are able to down a mid-ranged target very quickly indeed with a well-placed shot.
    There is a mandatory delay between bursts, however - but this is relatively short: your sustainable rate of fire is a still-respectable 789 rounds per minute.
    Equipping select fire will turn the M8A1 into a fully-automatic weapon, but this comes at a cost: your rate of fire will be reduced to 940 rounds per minute, and recoil will be significantly increased - but you do retain the 3-shot potential.
    Hipfire spread is average, and combined with the rapid burst output can prove quite effective: as you should need only 3 rounds to connect to kill within hipfire ranges, a couple of bursts will quickly and reliably do the job should needs be.
    Recoil is low, and so while you'll need at least two bursts to kill at range, it is quite possible to repeatedly drill a distant target with multiple rounds from the same burst.
    The M8 isn't the most effective ranged weapon, but it can certainly perform at such ranges when asked.
    Aim time is standard for its class, at 250 milliseconds - and other handling traits are as expected, including your mobility - like its peers, you'll move at 95 percent of the base speed.
    Magazine capacity is fairly average, with the bonus two rounds factored in for the four-round burst.
    Because of the relatively rapid consumption, reloads can be frequent - you'll only get 8 bursts per mag - but resupplies are painless, taking 2.33 seconds to perform.
    The M8A1 is a dependable choice, capable of dominating mid-range engagements with an ability to place successive accurate bursts.
    Compared to a three-round burst weapon like the SWAT-556, the extra round fired will guarantee more consistent performance: and the faster rate of fire will help land more shots on a moving target.
    Paired with low recoil, the M8A1 is perhaps the easiest burst-fire weapon to handle, with more forgiving hipfire than most as well.
    However, at longer ranges the weapon starts to lose its edge, with higher damage assault rifles, LMGs and sniper rifles taking the upper hand in terms of time to kill.
    At ranges where you might need at least two bursts, a sniper could snuff your streak in just a single shot.
    Paired with a short but otherwise mandatory burst delay, it might be wise to stick to mid-ranged engagements when tackling strong ranged opposition.
    Still, the M8 remains usable at most ranges, and can be dominant in a relatively wide mid-range band, and as such it is definitely worth considering.
    So, if you're desperately seeking a reliable companion...
    ...you might have found your soul M8.
    Thanks for watching, this has been XboxAhoy.

    I know this is subjective, but when trying to get Gold for this weapon, I wound up using a Red Dot Sight for easier headshots and struggled getting the double kills and bloodthirsties with this until I unlocked Select Fire. I feel like the M8 is better when fired fully automatic, but it's pretty solid otherwise without it.

    Here I am, looking at all these people's comments talking about their M8A1 classes. And they're all generally the same. "Reflex Sight + Stock" or "Reflex Sight + Quickdraw Handle", etc. How about something new, that actually works?
    Primary Weapon: M8A1
    Attachments: ACOG Sight, Laser Sight, Select Fire
    Secondary Weapon: Pistol of your choice
    Attachment: *Attachment of your choice; choose over Lethal/Tactical
    Wildcard: Primary Gunfighter
    Perk Tier 1: Flak Jacket
    Perk Tier 2: Toughness
    Perk Tier 3: Dexterity
    Lethal: *Choose over sidearm attachment
    Tactical: *Choose over sidearm attachment
    It sounds weird, doesn't it? An ACOG Sight on the M8A1? With a Laser Sight? Kosetsa, what are you thinking? Said a guy in the lobby. Believe it or not, this class actually works really well. Let's look over it. The ACOG Sight is surprisingly effective with this weapon. My preferred reticule was Ranger Drop. The recoil settles after before you can fire again with a burst, so long-range combat is definitely an option. And it doesn't hinder you in CQC, either. But that's where the next two attachments come into play. The Laser Sight tightens up that hipfire spread of yours, specifically for CQC. Finally, Select Fire will permit full-auto with the M8A1, also for CQC purposes. This combination of attachments on this weapon takes discipline, unless you're good on actually utilizing the ACOG Sight and Select Fire for the right environments. The sidearm of your choice can also aid you in CQC, or when you run out of bullets during an engagement. Mine was the Tac-45 with the Long Barrel.
    Flak Jacket was my choice here, and it is a very straightforward Perk selection for an aggressive style of play - or a defensive one. It's your preference, though. The Tier 1 of Perks don't impact this class greatly. Next up is Toughness, which is also very straightforward and equally useful, if not more. Staying on target is very important, especially with a burst-fire rifle with an ACOG Sight. It is less critical in CQC, as Select Fire and the Laser Sight can take over that. You can also swap out Toughness for Scavenger if you're confident in your accuracy. Scavenger will make sure you never run dry, and that is one of this set-up's weaknesses: no resupplies. As for the final Perk, Dexterity is again for the aggressive play, speeding up your aim time after sprinting. Getting the first shot on your opponent usually ends in your favor, unless you have poor accuracy or you're facing a quickscoper/shotgunner.
    Finally, if you don't want an attachment on your sidearm, you can choose a Lethal or Tactical equipment instead. I rarely use equipment, so I chose the attachment option.
    And that's it. Try this class out, and see if you like it.

    Like your attachment guide, you could alternate between a weapon and a perk guide, and if 35 perks just aren't enough to fill up the space between all weapons, maybe do an attachment one

    Works perfectly fine for me as a sort of 'does everything alright at once' class. EMP nades are the bane of everyone's existence because barely anyone runs Hard Wired outside of a class specifically for anti- EMP Systems (although you could sacrifice one for SMAW/FHJ if you /really/ wanted to, the ability to shoot down (C)UAVs is much more beneficial to the team in my opinion) and are basically free points when thrown into gunfights you're not entering due to the huge splash range, the reflex/ACOG combination keeps things relevant at mid and long ranges, and you never run out of ammo or grenades to throw due to Scavenger. Engineer goes well with equipment destruction (Destroying deployed Sentries and Guardians and immobilising AGRs instantly is priceless)

    I really recommend a red dot on this gun. Although the iron sights are okay, your shots will be way more precise with a red dot. Plus, do not play it with suppressor due to the range penalty. If you are a freakin' "strafer" like me, put stock on it. Unfortunately, I had some nuclear fails with this gun, but it wasn't the gun's fault ;)

    On the range graph, far left is close range, and far right is long range. On the far left, the bar is green because it has the best damage at that range. In the middle, it's yellow because it starts to drop it's damage over range. When it's at the far right and red, it's at the worst amount of damage it can do because the gun is firing at long range.
