The Best All-Around Gun for 2025 Battlefield 6

If Battlefield 6 forced me to pick one gun for the rest of the game, I wouldn’t even hesitate. It’s the PW7A2, built exactly like this.

The One-Gun Question

Every shooter has that moment where you ask yourself:

“If I could only use one gun, what would it be?”

Most weapons in BF6 are specialists. Some are monsters up close and useless past a parking lot. Some are lasers at long range, but they get you folded the second someone sprints into your face.

The PW7A2 with this setup is different. It’s the closest thing to a true all-rounder I’ve found so far:

“It bullies people up close, beams at mid range, and still deletes players at over 100 meters if you tap it right.”

And the best part? You don’t need pro-level recoil control to make it work.

What This Build Is Actually Good At

Here’s what this version of the PW7A2 is built to do:

• Close range: You can hold full auto, strafe, and still keep your shots in the chest.

• Mid-range: It stays calm enough that short bursts absolutely melt people.

• Long range: Switch to tap-fire, and you can pick players at 100+ meters without feeling like you’re gambling.

• 
  

It feels like an SMG and an AR had a sensible, well-balanced child.

If you’re a normal human being with a job, a family, and average aim, that matters. You don’t have time to master five recoil patterns and three meta swaps a week. You need something that works every night you log in.

Attachment Philosophy: Why This Exact Setup

Let’s walk through what each piece is doing for the gun.

Long Suppressor – Staying Off the Radar

The Long Suppressor is the foundation of how this thing plays.

It keeps you off the mini map and stops that big orange dot from flashing above your head the instant you fire. That alone buys you extra seconds in every fight: seconds where the enemy is guessing instead of snapping straight to your position.

Yeah, you give up a bit of bullet velocity, but on the PW7A2, it’s not enough to throw the gun into the trash. The tradeoff is worth it—especially if you like flanking, off-angles, or picking people apart before they even figure out where they’re getting shot from.

Heavy 180 mm Barrel – The Spine of the Gun

The Heavy 180 mm barrel is what turns this from “good” to stupid consistent.

It tightens the gun up in full auto and keeps your shots grouped when you tap-fire. Up close, more bullets stay on target. At mid-range, your bursts don’t spray all over the place. Out at long range, this is the reason your tap-fire actually hurts instead of just making noise.

You don’t feel like you’re fighting the gun. You feel like the gun is helping you.

50 mm Green Laser – Close-Range Bully Mode

The 50 mm Green laser is here for one job: win the panic fights.

When somebody sprints around a corner or you slide into a room, you don’t always have time for perfect ADS discipline. This laser helps those hipfire / fast-ADS moments feel way less coin-flippy.

If your natural playstyle leans aggressive—challenging angles, swinging doors, pushing objectives—this laser is what lets you get away with it more often.

“If they’re within spitting distance, you basically just hold left click and move.”

Slim Angled Grip – Moving and Shooting Without Chaos

The Slim Angled grip is the underbarrel that glues the build together.

It helps your stability while ADS and moving, which sounds boring until you feel it. Strafe-shooting isn’t nearly as wild. You can peek, fire, and correct without your reticle bouncing off into space.

Mid-range fights feel calmer, which is precisely what you want when you’re trying to stay on target through a full-auto burst.

30-round Fast Mag – The Real-Life Fix

The 30-round Fast Mag lives where real players live:

• Enough ammo to down two people if you’re landing decent shots.

• Fast enough reload that your bad “reload after every kill” habit doesn’t get you punished as often.

Could you run bigger mags? Sure. But then you’re stuck with those slow reloads that get you killed mid-fight. This setup keeps you in the action instead of watching a reload animation while someone sprints through your soul.

Mini Flex Scope – Balanced Vision

The Mini Flex scope is the last piece of the puzzle.

Clean sight picture. Just enough zoom to handle mid-range fights. Not so magnified that you feel lost when someone appears five feet in front of you.

It’s that rare optic that doesn’t feel like a compromise. You can comfortably fight from room to room and still reach out across a lane without swapping sights every match.

How to Actually Run It (Instead of Blaming the Gun)

The gun is good. But how you use it still matters.

Close Range – Spray Smart

Up close, trust the build:

• Slide or strafe into fights.

• Pre-aim common angles.

• Stay on full auto and gently drag your aim down.

You’re not trying to flick to heads like a montage kid. You’re trying to dump controlled chaos into their chest faster than they can react.

Mid Range – Burst, Don’t Pray

Mid-range is where this setup quietly breaks people.

Instead of hard mag-dumping, think in 10–15 round bursts:

• Fire a burst.

• Let the gun settle.

• Fire again.

With the heavy barrel and angled grip, the PW7A2 barely climbs if you do this. Most players you fight here aren’t controlling their recoil at all—so you win trades simply by being less sloppy.

Long Range – Tap-Fire and Punish

Out beyond 70–80 meters, flip into tap-fire mode:

• Single shots or tiny 2–3 round bursts.

• Let the sight reset between taps.

It starts to feel like a lightweight DMR with an SMG soul. You’re not going to insta-delete every target, but if they’re caught out in the open? You’ll win those fights way more often than you have any right to with a gun this good up close.

Common Screw-Ups with This Build

A few ways to sabotage this setup:

• Taking sniper duels at 120 meters: Yes, you can kill at long range; that doesn’t mean you should play like a recon main with an AR. Pick smart fights.

• Sitting in one window all game: You’re suppressed for a reason. Shoot, reposition a few steps, shoot again. Make people guess.

• Full-autoing at every distance: Close? Spray. Mid? Burst. Long? Tap—same gun, different trigger discipline.

If you respect what the gun is built to do, it pays you back every match.

Why This Is My One-Gun-Only Pick

At the end of the day, here’s the reason this is my “only gun” choice:

• It bullies close range without crazy mechanical skill.

• It wins mid-range duels because it stays calm under pressure.

• It reaches past 100 meters if you’re patient with tap-fire.

• And it does all of that while staying easy to control in full auto.

I don’t have time to chase every meta swap or grind every gun to max just to stay relevant. With this PW7A2 build, I can log in, load up, and know I’m dangerous in almost every situation the game throws at me.

If you want to see this build in action, keep an eye out for my gameplay and breakdowns, and try the setup yourself. Then tweak it to your own playstyle and see if it becomes your one-gun-only pick.
