Best SMGs in Modern Warfare 3
5. Striker-9
The Striker-9 is great for mobility.
The Striker-9 has established itself among the top SMGs in MW3 for players who like to keep moving and engaging in close-range fights all over the map. In addition, the SMG features a fast time-to-kill value that is almost identical to the Striker’s, with the only difference being that the former has a slightly better range.
4. WSP Swarm
The WSP-Swarm features a high fire rate and a low TTK in MW3.
The WSP-Swarm is a Modern Warfare 3 SMG with an incredibly high rate-of-fire, that is based on the MAC-10 machine pistol. Due to its fire rate, it offers low TTK and can be incredibly lethal at close quarters. You can feel a significant amount of recoil, but equipping the right attachments can mitigate any recoil-based issues.
3. Striker
The Striker is Modern Warfare 3’s version of the MW2 UMP 45 and MW 2019’s Striker 45.
The classic UMP 45 is back in Modern Warfare 3 as the Striker. This beloved gun is the best option if you are looking for a quick SMG that kills fast at short and medium ranges.
Similar to its previous iterations, the Striker boasts a blisteringly high fire rate to kill players in an instant, with almost zero recoil and high damage that simply destroys opponents.
2. AMR9
The AMR9 has outstanding bullet velocity and range.
The AMR9 has an excellent fire rate, which makes its TTK feel extremely fast. This SMG can deal a significant amount of damage in close-quarter situations and has overall great mobility which allows you to efficiently move around each map.
Following January 23’s massive buff, this gun has become one of the most favored SMGs in both multiplayer and Warzone.
1. Rival-9 – Best SMG in MW3
The Rival-9 made its debut in Modern Warfare 2019 as the CX-9.
MW 2019’s fan-favorite Rival-9 makes its way back into Modern Warfare 3, serving as one of the best options in the multiplayer mode. This top-tier SMG has low recoil, great mobility, and a fantastic TTK at close range that will surely feel familiar and easy to use in the hands of veteran players.
You should now be ready to finesse enemies using SMGs in Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded.
