Very dependent on the setup. In most cases, no. Marathon, Scavenger, and One Man Army are usually better. The only times I would use it are on a slow-paced Search and Destroy class where Marathon isn't that useful or on a class that benefits a lot from two attachments and doesn't need the extra ammo afforded by Scavenger or OMA. I'm a big fan of FAL + Holographic (increases damage only on the FAL) + Silencer and M16 + Holographic (decreases recoil only on the M16) + Silencer. Also, I think it is really stupid when people use a Red Dot or Holographic with Bling (except maybe on certain guns in SnD). Technically, your second attachment is your Perk 1, so I find it funny when someone chooses a Red Dot as their Perk 1 instead of, say, infinite sprinting or a ton of ammo.
