It's no secret (at least it shouldn't be) that along with the reduction of vertical recoil, the fore grip also increases the spread of your rounds.
Example being, i shoot 6 rounds at a wall.
Then i shoot another 6, from the same spot with a fore grip now, the last 3 or 4 rounds are going to land more randomly and not as pin-point. Decreasing your killing efficiency.
Here's how to get the most from your weapon.
Yes - It must have a foregrip due to extreme recoil.
No - It really shouldn't have one due to minimal or medium recoil
Dep - Depends on which attachments are assigned. Some might pair good with a fore grip. Others may be detrimental.

General rule of thumb, if you have a silencer, dont put a foregrip on it.
Anything else, use a foregrip.
If you see your favorite weapon above, and you do, or dont use a foregrip, give it shot and put it on or take it off.
I promise you'll notice a good difference. Just because there may be a bit more recoil, dont give up on it. I promise your killing efficiency will go up once your used to it.
