Submachine Guns and Shotguns are the two highest contenders when it comes to the close-range meta of Modern Warfare 3. Though Shotguns are a decent choice, their effective range is quite low. Submachine Gun players often shine when it comes to close-range gunfights, as they sport a high fire rate, handling, and mobility. Looking for a strong Submachine Gun to add to your loadout? Then maybe consider the Striker 9.
The Striker 9 Submachine Gun is an armory unlock you can acquire after reaching Level 25. This gun has a high level of mobility and handling, along with a high fire rate. Though the Striker 9 does not have a better level of recoil control than its sibling, the Striker, this can be mitigated with the best attachments.

The above Perk Package is carried over from our other Submachine Gun classes. The Engineer Vest is great for revealing key intel on the battlefield but also provides you with an additional Gear Slot. The Scavenger Gloves essentially allow you to resupply ammunition from dead players, which is great for players who aim to earn all their killstreaks. Covert Sneakers help with stealth, and paired with the Blacklight Flashlight allow you to sneak up on players. Finally, finish up with Mag Holster to increase reload speeds.
Recommended Secondary
The Striker 9 is a solid primary weapon that holds its own pretty well in Modern Warfare 3’s Core Multiplayer. However, with this class setup, you will be vulnerable to enemy UAVs and other killstreaks. With that being the case, make sure to equip a launcher, like the PILA, capable of countering them.
