SMGs are completely useless
9mm SMGs have almost the same recoil as ARs but deal reduced damage and have zero penetrating power. I mean why would anyone ever pick them aside from roleplaying?

The MP5s are pretty good tbh. I´m happy with them.

They're smaller so they don't go down when you walk into walls as much so you can be in tighter areas than players with any other weapon type even shotguns and the fast fire rate is handy in close quarters and with the damage system where they only take like 2-4 shots or something like that to kill heavy armor players up close.

Their size is exactly the same or around the same size as a pistol so they're basically just automatic pistols. Even the damage is similar/the same. They excel at close range compared to rifles.

Wish they would tone down the recoil though.

Yeah MPs are for CQB, and Rifles are more mid-long range use.

Im surprised people find smg recoil overpowering. They feel laser precise with trigger discipline.

Yeah, hell, I usually don’t use a fore grip on the MP5 and haven’t ever had issues with recoil.
Either MP5 with foregrip and suppressor

Favorite weapon

recoil and damage reduction is good when the rate of fire is super high, as is the case with smgs

My opinion after many hours with this game: sometimes I suck as ♥♥♥♥ with them, then I switch to rifle or gunner. Sometimes, it's the opposite. I feel that a lot depends on my amount of adrenaline and such, when I'm really pushing objectives and aiming straight, I'm a machine with them, when I'm not, I suck as hell. I say, get a feeling for the mood you're in and go from there. Like some said, turning around cqb or aiming down a window sucks with rifles but if you are in a slow mode, that is fine!

Mp5 just like bug guns, they are so accurate and saved my life most of time when I am in danger!

Try the M4. I know it is 5 points, but all you need is a red dot and foregrip. It comes out to about the same as other spec'd out rifles. It's one of the better run n gun weapons in the game.
