• Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
• Muzzle: XTEN Razor Comp
• Barrel: L38 Falcon 226mm Barrel
• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Magazine: 50-Round Drum

The attachments mentioned above will grant high mobility to players. This weapon has good hip-fire performance, which makes running and gunning a viable option. As a result, you will become a more challenging target to shoot at in Modern Warfare 2.

The 50-Round Drum magazine may decrease ADS speed, but extra bullets will be helpful in most circumstances. Other attachments are necessary to increase the ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed without destabilizing the recoil too much.

• Grip: Stip-40 Grip
• Barrel: 9.5″ Duke-30
• Stock: CQB Stock
• Rail: GR33 Light Rail
• Comb: TV Taccomb

The combination of these attachments will provide players with an easy-to-control precise PDSW 528 that can also be used for long-range firefights. The presence of a 50-round magazine that cannot be replaced guarantees the gun’s effectiveness in a variety of situations.

The CQB Stock, the TV Taccomb, and the Stip-40 Grip help increase the ADS speed and improve the player's overall mobility without putting them at a severe disadvantage. Lastly, the GR33 Light Rail is a great attachment that changes the weapon's iron sight for the better, as the default one takes up a large portion of the screen, making it harder to track enemies.

• Stock: Otrezat Stock
• Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
• Barrel: KAS-1 381mm

The Vaznev-9K is regarded by many as the best SMG in Modern Warfare 2. The gun is strong even without attachments, boasting a high rate of fire, high mobility, and quick sprint-to-fire capabilities. With the correct combination of attachments equipped, players can output a dangerous weapon that will win most of the 50-50 gunfights.

The attachments mentioned above increase the player's ADS speed, sprint, and aim-walking speed. The KAS-1, 381mm barrel, increases the damage range and accuracy, while the Lockshot KT85 improves horizontal and vertical recoil control, making the Vaznev-9K a beast of an SMG.

• Muzzle - XTEN RR-40
• Barrel - BAK-9 279mm Barrel
• Laser - STOVL DR Laser Box
• Stock - Ortezat Stock
• Rear Grip - True Tac Grip

The Minibak, a reputable SMG in Modern Warfare 2, has a high mag capacity of 64 rounds, which makes it suitable for use in long-range firefights. It is also effective in short-range combat since players don’t have to worry about reloading. The gun has more advantages, such as low recoil, high damage range, and high mobility, which can be further improved with attachments.

Ortezat Stock and True Tac Rear Grip increase the gun's ADS and sprint-to-fire speed, thereby boosting mobility. The XTEN RR-40 Suppressor and BAK-9 279mm barrel are highly beneficial and improve muzzle velocity, damage range, and recoil smoothness. At the same time, the STOVL DR Laser Box increases hip-fire recoil and accuracy for those close combat firefights in Modern Warfare 2.

• Muzzle - Bruen Cubic Comp/XTEN Razor Comp
• Optics - Chronen Mini Pro
• Stock - FTAC Stock Cap
• Underbarrel - FSS Sharkfin 90
• Rear Grip - Fennec Stippled Grip

The Fennec 45 in Modern Warfare 2 has the highest rate of fire, which is both its strength and weakness. It has a low damage output, and because of its high fire rate, players are forced to reload it frequently. However, the gun excels at short-range combat and will outpower any other weapon. The attachments only make it stronger and more viable.

FTAC Stock Cap and Fennec Stippled Grip contribute towards increasing the ADS speed and improving recoil control, while the FSS Sharkfin 90 improves the aiming stability, which this gun requires heavily. Both of the two mentioned muzzles improve horizontal and vertical recoil.

Lastly, the optics allow players to track enemies easily, which can be replaced with a drum magazine if players are comfortable with the weapon's iron sight.
