MP5K with Holo A, Flash Hider and laser (no grip slot at all), Super Shorty with Iron Sights and laser as a pocket shotgun backup, and Nitro Cell as the default utility.
Why it works
The MP5K has no grip slot, so Flash Hider and the laser are the real call: Flash Hider keeps its vertical climb manageable through sustained fire, and Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean while his Mag-NET launcher deals with incoming projectiles. The Super Shorty only offers Iron Sights and nothing else, so it's mostly a fixed pick with a laser on top.
Who it is best for
Players who want Nitro Cell as the default utility: real damage against a stack or a plant, once his own launcher has already cleared the projectiles covering it.
Attachment roles: the laser aids aiming speed, the angled grip aids reload speed, and the horizontal grip aids movement speed. Ubisoft attachment rework. Check available options in game.

Put Wamai's loadout into practice
Redirect a projectile away from the position your team needs to hold. A Mag-NET attracts a projectile to its own location; this is not the same as making the projectile's effect harmless everywhere. Placement should account for where teammates and valuable gadgets will be when it activates.
Weapon and utility choices
Compare the AUG A2 and MP5K while moving between the intended cover positions. Choose the weapon you can bring onto the next angle reliably. If you use the Super Shorty for preparation, finish that work before settling into your hold. A shield creates a position to defend, not automatic safety from every direction.
A round plan
Identify the likely incoming projectile path, place interception away from the protected player, and check the adjacent utility. Tell teammates what the placement protects. Reassess as the attackers change direction; protection for one doorway may not cover the new threat.
A mistake to avoid
Placing interception beside the teammate you want to protect without considering the redirected effect. Do not stack the whole plan around an assumption that caught means harmless.
Try this with a teammate
In a custom round, have a teammate throw a projectile along the expected approach. Observe where it is caught and where its effect occurs. Move either the Mag-NET or the holding position if they conflict.
