MP5K The MP5K is the first submachine gun available in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, and like the MP5 in COD4, it’s also one of the best. It’s the least accurate of the SMGs at range, and is best used for short ranged firefights of 50 feet or less. The recoil can be significant and will reduce accuracy further if the player doesn’t compensate for it. The MP5K also doesn’t have an especially large clip and must be reloaded more often than many weapons, making Sleight of Hand a good perk to use with it. Two MP5Ks can be wielded at the same time, but like other dual wielded weapons iron sights cannot be used with them and they are extremely inaccurate and generally ineffective as a result. |
UMP45 The UMP45 is also available from early on in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer mode. It is significantly more accurate than the MP5K at range, and does about the same damage, though it has a lower rate of fire. This lower rate of fire does make reloading less frequent, and makes it a good choice for players who want the close-in effectiveness of an SMG with less of a ranged disadvantage. Of all the submachine guns in MW2, the UMP45 is the most accurate and damaging per shot. However, the slower rate of fire does make it slightly less effective in very close ranged situations, though skilled players will be able to aim more effectively and make use of its greater damage per shot. |

VECTOR The Vector is an unusual weapon, with low damage but an extremely high rate of fire, making it the fastest firing SMG in the game. Despite the high rate of fire, the Vector is also extremely accurate for an SMG, more accurate than the MP5K and about the same as the UMP45. The rate of fire makes reloading very frequent, but the load times are short and easily managed by a skilled player. Used well, the Vector can take down enemies at most ranges very quickly in a hail of bullets. The biggest problem for a player using the Vector is that it will probably run out of ammunition quite soon, as a result of the high rate of fire. The Scavenger perk can alleviate this by providing resupplies from enemy weapons and also providing more starting magazines with the Scavenger Pro upgrade. |
P90 The P90 is infamous in COD4 for its large clip, high rate of fire and devastating close-range power. It is very similar in Modern Warfare 2, though other weapons are now more competitive. The P90 has a considerably larger magazine than other SMGs, allowing players to gun down multiple enemies before having to reload. It also has a very high rate of fire, though this is less of a problem as the magazine capacity is larger. Damage per bullet is higher than the Vector and around the same as the MP5K, making the P90 a very competitive SMG overall. Its only weaknesses are those shared by all submachine guns, namely an inability to penetrate materials well and decreased effectiveness at long ranges. |
