I love this thing! The initial buzzsaw-like fire rate which levels out to a powerful-sounding chugging noise akin to the M60 pits this gun on a gigantic level of badassery.
DiegoFerVideos It also prevents other killstreaks from being called in by enemy players and destroys all of their precious bouncing betties tac insertions and shock charges :)

The HAMR Time pun was very good, but the pun, "When your only tool is a HAMR, every problem might as well be a nail" was the best I've heard in a while, and you've had some good ones. Awesome job!!
Hey Stu, as one of your presumably many viewers who haven't played CoD in a while but still tune in regularly not just for your videos' production value but also your soothingly smooth and ridiculously British voice I've been wondering if you've ever considered doing a "dramatic reading" of a favorite chapter from a novel or short story on your AhoyXBox account. It shouldn't take too much time to prepare and record and denying the world the glorious sound of your voice would be a crime!
Every COD has it's best LMG For Ghosts, it's the M27-IAR. Fastest reload speeds in the whole LMG class, at roughly 5 seconds, and comparing with the other LMGs which take 8 seconds to reload, that's saying something. And with Sleight Of Hand, the M27 reloads in record time.
I see his point behind his class build, but that's just not me. this is what I use HAMR+ Primary gunfighter = Foregrip, Quickdraw, and Adjust stock Assault shield Flak Jacket Toughness Dexterity Claymore This for me is a good camping build and a offensive tank build
I know this is 2 years old but the grip doesn't work in bo2 and even with the 10% reduction in range the suppressed will reduce muzzle flash and make your shots more silent and off the radar
Agreed. The foregrip reduces sight recenter by 2% and is essentially worthless. You could stack with an acog for 5% but the effect is still negligible.
I wish you'd mentioned the quirk with the Hybrid Scope allowing you to constantly fire at 940 RPM by switching zoom levels while firing, but otherwise this was superbly done as usual :D
The use for scavenger comes with the fact that your recoil reduces after 7 shots, meaning at longer ranges you're more likely to have sustained fire, which in turn means using more ammunition. Scavenger lets you replenish if you go on longer streaks this way.
I ve followed this channel for years...now UA-cam recomend me this so I feel nostalgic for Ahoys old videos and Bo2. FuckOffIWantToGoBackInTimeToPlayBo2againwhilewatchingthisvideosaveryfuckinday...im alraight guys, just got a bit emotional there
Remember, the scar h uses different ammunition from the scar l. The scar l uses the same ammo as the HAMR and it basically has a drum magazine and a fire control mechanism
Dillon C Yeah, the L fires the 5.56x45, the H variant as well as the HAMR variant fires the 7.62x51. The HAMR has an open to closed bolt operation, to reduce recoil and control the weapon from heating up rapidly.
This is the setup that I use for the HAMR: Attachments: -Quickdraw -FMJ -Stock Perks: -Lightweight -Toughness -Dexterity/Extreme Condotioning Wildcards: -Perk 3 Greed -Primary Gunfighter. This setup is to try to make the HAMR easier to use and to make it a lot more agile. I hope you guys try it out, it's a very good setup.
Still playing BO2, and the HAMR's still my favorite gun. I play Hardcore almost exclusively, and the balance of weapons is very different there -- weapons that are weak in Core get to shine much more in Hardcore, while weapons that are strong in Core still work just fine, but aren't dominant. The SCAR is a top pick in Hardcore, having a one-shot kill out to a considerable range alongside all the usual likeable traits of an assault rifle, so it's no surprise that the HAMR performs well too. But it's only in Hardcore that the HAMR's unique function -- that fast, inaccurate burst of 7 followed by slower, more accurate shots afterwards -- really shows how great it is. Those first 7 come out at the same firerate as many of the SMGs (940 rpm), and about the same accuracy, while the following shots fire pretty similarly to the SCAR. You can continuous fire for long-range accuracy, or pulse the trigger to keep getting that SMG-like speed, with higher damage output. Throw a Stock on there (essential for Hardcore and especially for LMGs), and you've got a really formidable weapon. Throw FMJ on there and you can take down those pesky Stealth Choppers real quick too. EDIT: Also, pair it with a pistol (Tac 45 is reliable, Five-seveN is easier to spray, B23R is unorthodox but still good, KAP-40 is the easiest to use for this, Executioner is a little too niche for this but it might work for you) for when your ammo runs out, or a launcher for maximum equipment/scorestreak destruction, finished off with either EMP Grenade or Black Hat. Perks up to you, but I highly recommend Engineer with that equipment and/or launcher, and Cold Blooded will help you win those long-range gunfights while Scavenger helps if the enemy is REALLY going all-out with placed equipment/scorestreaks you need to hack/destroy.
My father is Bruce J. Spletzer/Blastymus Prime, Agent 4 of the original Squidbeak Splatoon, One of the top commanders in the US Marine Corps, proclaimed that fire rate is your friend. Plus he argues that in ZOMBIES, the SMR isn't so bad after all. All you need to do is know how to aim it, and may need to get a little closer to the target, because the shorter the shot, the more the damage, Aim for the chest, or the head, it's "high damage" was never changed. The Single Mission Rifle is used by many. My father's first Custom Loadout is: Name: Gamer Sidearm Primary: HAMR Attachments: FMJ, Rapid Fire, ~Fore Grip~ Personalization: Carbon Fiber Secondary: Five-Seven Attachments: FMJ, ~Fast-Mag~ Personalization: Carbon Fiber Wildcards: Primary Gunfighter, Perk 2 Greed, Secondary Gunfighter Perks: (Tier 1) Lightweight, (Tier 2) Toughness/~Scavenger~, (Tier 3) Extreme Conditioning Lethal: Semtex Grenade Tactical: Shock Charge x2 Knife Personalization: Carbon Fiber
I loved the f2000 in that game, but it was really only suited towards maps such as Sub Base or similarly sized maps with lots of cover. It was actually the fourth gun I got mastery for. You're right about the skill gap, by the way. At least in my opinion.
The HAMR is not a weapon in the Splatoon Ammo Knights Database, but at the same time, is an AMAZING weapon next to my father's "hero shot" from the Splatoon 2 franchise, which he recreated in COD Multiplayer, using a PDW-57 with FMJ, rapid fire, and fast mag, sidearmed with the Executioner with an FMJ and Fast Mag, "user's choice" he said, with 2 semtex grenades, 2 sensor grenades, and that's about it... But is a perfect main weapon, he says.
Looking back on this its not a bad build at all lol. Id get rid of dexterity though and put on two attachments like quickdraw to help the awful ads and suppressor to stay hidden off radar too
Stu has said before that he preferred the MW2 level of damage, but he thinks that Stopping Power should not come back; rather the weapons would start out that powerful.
That's exactly what an LMG is, a gun firing an intermediate rifle cartridge. Something firing a larger rifle cartridge such as .308 is an MMG, and something firing something such as .50 cal is an HMG.
Recommendations? If you are by no means a "good" player, I suggest: UAV, Hunter Killer Drone and Counter UAV. If you still want to get good streaks: UAV, Hunter Killer Drone and Care Package. If you are "pro" I suggest, for objective defense: Lightning Strike, Stealth Chopper and V-Sat. For a close and personal one: V-sat, Warthog and K9 unit. The first two are easier and "refills" faster. When you get the Chopper camp until you get the V-Sat. The Warthog will push everyone inside buildings.
I agree with that. This gun is really good, but I feel it needs at least an optic or a suppressor to either elevate the sights above the muzzle flash or to remove the muzzle flash altogether.
The reason they look the same is because the HAMR *IS* the SCAR. It just has some modifications. The HAMR is similar to the SCAR Mk 16 (SCAR-L) Long Barrel, but is modified for use as a weapon with sustained-fire capabilities.
Perks are an integral part of the multiplayer. While they can potentially be controversial, they help define your loadout to its specific goal. I'm not a fan of the overcomplication and excess equipment that CoD adds nowadays, but perks should definitely stay.
I love this thing! The initial buzzsaw-like fire rate which levels out to a powerful-sounding chugging noise akin to the M60 pits this gun on a gigantic level of badassery.
"When your only tool is a HAMR, every problem might as well be a nail" that is by far, the best pun I have ever heard for a weapon, in my life.
This weapon helped me get an EMP that destroyed a swarm.
I didn't know u could do that
super Slam Yes he could do that. The EMP scorestreak destroys EVERYTHING That its electric. Just the k9 unit cant be affected by the emp sistem.
DiegoFerVideos thx now im gonna be using that instead of the orbital
DiegoFerVideos It also prevents other killstreaks from being called in by enemy players and destroys all of their precious bouncing betties tac insertions and shock charges :)
kstanni87 . Doesn't destroy them, you capture them, making them yours.
When your only tool is a hammer (hamr) why not make every problem a nail. Trademark that crap, that is deep.
Blizzard did with Reinhardt lol
Way deeper than Billie Eilish's songs.
Not Harrison wayyy deeper than a anime girls pussy.
should've been:
when your only tool's a Hamr
Nail every problem with accuracy...
but who am I to say replying to a 5 year old comment
My Username *hentai
Could've said "This Hamr will put the nail in your enemy's coffin.
I see what u did there
lol that made my day
That was actually a Golden line . Nice thinking !!!
he did that for the m27
STOP! Hamr time.
STOP!
HAMR Time

How does a banana sound?
The HAMR Time pun was very good, but the pun, "When your only tool is a HAMR, every problem might as well be a nail" was the best I've heard in a while, and you've had some good ones. Awesome job!!
out of every call of duty UA-camr that gives class setups, this guy is the only one that gives classes for stuff other than neuclears or staying alive
And now the HAMR is back in MWIII as the TAQ Eradicator, glad to see it return after so many years
Literally everything Stu touches, turns gold. Don't expect to rock that hard in your own matches, people. ;'(
FN-style post-type diopters rawk! Simplicity is perfection.
"If you're too legit to quit ... STOP ... HAMR time!" XD! The cherry on top as always!! Clever way to drop the HAMR
He has the BEST closes I swear.
"Then stop....Hamr time" absolutely love it.
Yep, I cant leave without giving a like from that pun
This guy reminds of captain price subscribing

Hey Stu,
as one of your presumably many viewers who haven't played CoD in a while but still tune in regularly not just for your videos' production value but also your soothingly smooth and ridiculously British voice I've been wondering if you've ever considered doing a "dramatic reading" of a favorite chapter from a novel or short story on your AhoyXBox account.

"When you're only tool is a HAMR, every problem might as well be a nail." LOVE IT!
I do't play CoD, bu these guides are just so entertaining to listen too....
this is easily the best LMG in this game
Eh, I think the Mk48 resembles more of a true LMG than the HAMR.
GunFuMaster He said best, not most realistic.
Jedidiah Duckett exactly
Still, I think that the Mk48 is better.
Every COD has it's best LMG
For Ghosts, it's the M27-IAR. Fastest reload speeds in the whole LMG class, at roughly 5 seconds, and comparing with the other LMGs which take 8 seconds to reload, that's saying something.
And with Sleight Of Hand, the M27 reloads in record time.
"Maximum possible perk payload" that's just a brilliant word choice
Man, 3 puns!
HAMR time, HAMR and Nail, and hits hard.
Looks like Stuart beat the puns into our heads this week ;3
Sometimes your voice reminds me of solid snake. It would be cool if you use your voice for video game characters .
Awesome loadout.
6 perk builds are so underrated.
People automatically use 2 points on attachments.
I use this sort of setup with the SWAT.
My game play and understanding has improved alot since watching your videos. Your awesome xboxahoy! Keep up the good work mate.
I use toughness, scavenger, flack jacket, light wait, engineer, FMJ, and quick draw handle. Sometimes I trade out flack jacket for a pistol and C4.
I like to call the HAMR in this game St. Anger, because its gunfire sounds like someone banging on a garbage can lid.
I like your way of presenting things
The pun was absolutely on point! Great job all around.
That was an amazing pun as well!
You go pro with every weapon in every game, it blows my mind
This thing was so fun to use in zombies
It looked so clean when pack a punched in origins
These videos make me want to Play Black Ops II 💜💀🖤
"You can't touch this weapon's versatility. So, if you're too legit to quit, then stop...HAMR time!"
I want his voice to narrate my life.
I see his point behind his class build, but that's just not me. this is what I use
HAMR+ Primary gunfighter = Foregrip, Quickdraw, and Adjust stock
Assault shield
Flak Jacket
Toughness
Dexterity
Claymore
This for me is a good camping build and a offensive tank build
Lose The Foregrip,Go Fore Suppressor, Same Effect Plus You Dont Show Up On Radar :)
Suppressor in real life makes you more accurate but not on blackops2
Creeper Kohlmann it can make you more accurate because no muzzle flash
I know this is 2 years old but the grip doesn't work in bo2 and even with the 10% reduction in range the suppressed will reduce muzzle flash and make your shots more silent and off the radar
Agreed. The foregrip reduces sight recenter by 2% and is essentially worthless. You could stack with an acog for 5% but the effect is still negligible.
This weapon was soooo underrated and versatile, besides ammo consumption.
I wish you'd mentioned the quirk with the Hybrid Scope allowing you to constantly fire at 940 RPM by switching zoom levels while firing, but otherwise this was superbly done as usual :D
29th episode, worst number, favorite weapon.
It's HAMR time!
The use for scavenger comes with the fact that your recoil reduces after 7 shots, meaning at longer ranges you're more likely to have sustained fire, which in turn means using more ammunition. Scavenger lets you replenish if you go on longer streaks this way.

C.A.shmoney nope
it the best mic ever :3

Silly people. It's pronounced platypus. A very dangerous platypus too.
The M27 in BO2 is largely based on the (I wanna say) m416. The M27 IAR is an entirely separate weapon, and is the gun that beat out the HAMR.
Your voice is magical :D Have you ever thought about doing voice acting for game characters/cartoons?
AHOY
ANSWER THIS PERSON
The puns were strong in this one! I get the feeling he liked the HAMR, the clips were impressive.
Two puns?????????? :O
Try using Eotech, Foregrip, and Laser sight. You will not regret it
HAMR is the best LMG. Its not OP, its pretty good. I love this LMG! The iron sights remind me of my favorite AR, the Scar H!
And then there's the guy who thinks sitting with a LSAT dual band, silenced, rapid fire aiming down the sights 24/7 makes him the best player ever.
Xxslipknotguy13xX Thats not me, I usually run around with LMG's. :P
I Run around with the qbblsw 😃
Remember, the scar h uses different ammunition from the scar l. The scar l uses the same ammo as the HAMR and it basically has a drum magazine and a fire control mechanism

Attachments:
-Quickdraw
-FMJ
-Stock

-Toughness
-Dexterity/Extreme Condotioning
Wildcards:
-Perk 3 Greed
-Primary Gunfighter.
This setup is to try to make the HAMR easier to use and to make it a lot more agile.
I hope you guys try it out, it's a very good setup.
your fuckin voice dude.....its amazing
I waited through this whole season just for that pun ongoing that's awesome
Stop Hamr time
Ever since I saw this video I've been using the HAMR. It is a really good weapon.
His enemy's are pretty much bots lol they are so bad.
I really love these videos as well as your serious tone combined with a bit of wit, in the end I had to subscribe, please keep up the good work.
Thor's favorite weapon in cod(if you know what I mean...)😏

As much as i will love seeing more content from you, I will miss your weakly gun reviews and respective Q and A.
A scar with a massive mag.
Love it.
Dude Lewis Connett is right your voice is epic and your hammer time sounded awesome
Looking back on this its not a bad build at all lol.
Id get rid of dexterity though and put on two attachments like quickdraw to help the awful ads and suppressor to stay hidden off radar too
This man's pun game is on another level
HAMR with quickdraw , suppressor , & laser sight = Awesomeness!
The perks in this build can make you feel like Doom Guy
4 years later and that muzzle flash still kills me
Borgo Dorgo :3
Just use a suppressor
Stu has said before that he preferred the MW2 level of damage, but he thinks that Stopping Power should not come back; rather the weapons would start out that powerful.
HAMR with Hybrid, Rapid Fire and Grip. My favourite gun setup.
One could say he hit the nail on the head with these puns.
The pun at the end made me want to hug you and give your a trophy.
That's a good point, but it raises the question of weather we even need overpowered perks in the first place.
That's exactly what an LMG is, a gun firing an intermediate rifle cartridge. Something firing a larger rifle cartridge such as .308 is an MMG, and something firing something such as .50 cal is an HMG.

Two puns in one episode...brilliant.....better with Stuart's epic voice.
Thank you for the new word "resistivity" - love it!
I agree with that. This gun is really good, but I feel it needs at least an optic or a suppressor to either elevate the sights above the muzzle flash or to remove the muzzle flash altogether.
Lmg's in this game are way better than they were in previous Cod games

that gun is so totally in black ops 2! Stu should definitely review it next!
Goddammit Stu, that pun was absolute gold.
Gotta love that MC hammer pun
The pun was absolutely glorious.
I think that pun just won the Internet
Perks are an integral part of the multiplayer. While they can potentially be controversial, they help define your loadout to its specific goal. I'm not a fan of the overcomplication and excess equipment that CoD adds nowadays, but perks should definitely stay.
Dude, I swear to god that if he got every gun guide, he get every gun diamond because he be getting that gun gold in the video
This build is good but I would choose Light Weight instead of Hardline. The punch line was priceless.
The first video with real good captions
STU! STU! THAT PUN WAS LEGENDARY!
Just discovered that Molon Labe industries is coming out with a new line of SCAR magazines, with 5, 10, 20,and 25 round versions available.
Pun was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be.
Unusual build I usually kit out all LMG'S with 3 attachments.
I use overkill in my HAMR class to use the DSR 50 as a secondary. IT'S AWESOME!!
One reason i love black ops 2 is they base their guns on real weapons but make it a tad bit futuristic
