MP9 is an interesting weapon, offering interim solution between true 'machine pistols' such as Beretta 93R or Glock 18, and full-size submachine guns, like the Beretta 12S or H&K MP5. While the former weapons are very compact, they 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 often are too big, especially for close protection teams, police working in plain clothes and entry team 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 Ingram MAC-10, H&K MP5K or IMI Mini-UZI. MP9 offers lower, and thus more controllable rate of fire (900 rounds/minute as opposed to 1100-1200 rounds/minute in automatic pistols like M93R or G18), MP9 also features bigger magazine capacities, integral front grip and shoulder stock, and, according to the last trends in tactical solutions, an integral Picatinny type rail 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 ability to be fired single-handedly when the operator has his second hand occupied such 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.
