The MP9 is an interesting weapon, offering an interim solution between true 'machine pistols' such as the Beretta 93R or the Glock 18, and full-size submachine guns, like the Beretta 12S or the H&K MP5. While the former weapons are very compact, their full-auto fire capability is severely limited by high recoil, short barrels and high rates of fire; on the other hand, full-size submachine guns are often too big, especially for close protection teams, police working in plain clothes and entry teams when engaged in room-to-room searches and other such operations in confined spaces. Therefore, the MP9 falls directly in between, being in the same niche as Weapons such as the Ingram MAC-10, H&K MP5K or the IMI Mini-UZI. The MP9 offers lower, and thus more controllable rate of fire (900 rounds/minute as opposed to 1100-1200 rounds/minute in automatic pistols like the M93R or G18), the MP9 also features a larger magazine capacity, front grip and shoulder stock, and, according to the last trends in tactical solutions, 3 Picatinny type rails which can accept a wide variety of sights and other accessories. Compared to full-size submachine guns, MP9 trades effective range for more compact size and lighter weight, and the ability to be fired single-handedly when the operator has his second hand occupied such as when holding a ballistic shield.
[edit] In Game:
The MP9 makes a fantastic weapon in Close Quarter Battle(CQB). No optics required. Just get an extended magazine and let the Rate Of Fire(ROF) take care of the rest. The weapon does the same amount of damage and accuracy as the MP5N, making it a powerful small weapon, thought its almost never used by anyone, in online gameplay, but mercenaries sometimes use it on lower diffculties. Some people suggest it one of the quitest with a silencer.
