Closing thoughts

The MP9 is a stunningly effective weapon. On paper it is one of the strongest choices in the game, with a stellar rate of fire, speedy reload time and cheap cost. Oddly, it is also very accurate while jumping. A safe option for a Counter-Terrorist, it is almost never a bad purchase.

As the most expensive SMG at $2350, purchasing the P90 is hard to justify. What it lacks in practicality it makes up for in aggression, with high armour penetration, extremely fast rate of fire and massive magazine all contributing to a style of engagement that can overwhelm unprepared opponents.
