For the similar weapon seen in the non-canon creations, see TAR-21.

The MTAR is an assault rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It is obtainable out of the Mystery Box for 950 points.

Performance

The MTAR starts out with 30 rounds in it's magazine with 240 rounds in reserve. It can be considered a decently powerful weapon, seeing as how it proves to be useful in early as well as later rounds. It can be especially effective if the player goes for headshots, but if used ineffectively, the MTAR can be out of ammo within a round or two. In later rounds, the MTAR will find itself lacking, but if the player chooses to keep on using it, going for headshots is advised.

Pack-a-Punched Variant

The Pack-a-Punched MTAR becomes the "Malevolent Taxonomic Anodized Redeemer," boasting a Red Dot Sight as well as increased damage and spread. Pack-a-Punching the MTAR will render it useful for a few more rounds, but it will eventually become useless if used carelessly.
