SMG's in CS

What are the pros and cons of each SMG (sub-machine gun for the noobs) in CS? The MP5 seems to be better than any other SMG and is cheaper than all except the TMP (which is marginally better than the MP5 at drilling holes into enemy heads).
 
SMGs

SMGs

The MP5 Navy is the most accurate of all of them. The P90 has one of the most rapid rates of fire and has 50 rounds per clip, very good a close range killing, horrible at distance killing. The TMP like you said, good up close, horrible in distance. The last SMG is pretty much useless, I guess it inflicts more damage but shoots slower and less accurate.

For medium-distance killing, pick a rifle (M4A1/Colt or AK-47)

For long-distance killing, anything with a scope will usually do.
 
I don't think the MP5 is the most accurate of the SMGs.. I think the
UMP is more accurate, granted it has a slower ROF but it is also
stronger per hit.

Don't diss the UMP, I could kill you with it without trying.

The TMP is also a nice weapon if you are low on cash. It is very
in-accurate at long ranges, but the first bullet ALWAYS hits on
target. Long distances? Tap the button and aim for their head. If
you're into CQB (like me), you have to surprise them and aim at their
head as much as you can. You'll get a guarunteed (sp) kill with about
3 or more head-hits in there. Tip with the TMP -- Never stop moving.

Hehe I'm no noob at CS, just never use the P90 or UMP :)

What about the MAC10?
 
MAC-10

MAC-10

It shoots really fast of course, but probably has THE WORST aim of all SMGs. Up close it can be deadly!
 
I always liked the p90 myself. I suck @ the game compared to most I suppose but it has gotten me out of some tight spots. The CT equivalent was similar (the silenced thingy). As you can see I am a 1337 cs p14y0r!:lol:
 
My $0.02 as someone who played the game while it was beta and became fairly good, then only picked it up again a few months ago and is newbie at the many things that have changed, and is rusty to boot.

MP5 - probably the best all around. Excellent rate of fire, accurate, and pretty cheap. The best thing about it's accuracy is that it is pretty accurate in full auto too (a rare trait). Combine that with the technique common to all smgs of not standing still (if you are standing still, a rifle is always better), and it is probably my favorite weapon. If you can keep moving, however, and have a hiding spot, it is good for long range too, IMO, contrary to what others have said.

TMP - stealth is good, especially if you can come at someone from an unexpected direction. Other than that strength, that will vary in usefulness to you depending on your style of play, it is worse than the mp5 in every way. Well, the rate of fire is good, but since the full auto accuracy is much worse than mp5, this is negated somewhat...though, like the first few shots of an ak, you know exactly how the shots will grow innacurate (i.e., it travels upward) and you can compensate for it for a while.

Mac 10 - already stated...close up, this thing is DEADLY, medium range it sucks except with the 1 or 2 shot burst fire method that works for any automatic gun, and just forget about long range.

P90 - YECH to the full auto of this baby. It might be the worst full auto smg, not sure. If you can restrict yourself to 2 and 3 shot burst exclusively, however, it is a very deadly weapon. Especially handy is the 50 shot mag size and how long it lasts if you use it this way.

UMP - If I remember correctly, this is the VERY odd looking, almost triangular, gun. Slow rate of fire as has been said, but this allows it to be a bit more accurate full auto. If you're aim AND tracking (keeping them in your crosshair as they move quickly) of a target are good, or if they stand still for some reason, fairly effective. I have a lot of trouble tracking moving targets with this because of its rate of fire, though, atleast when I am moving too. This to my mind is a major weakness for a smg, so I never buy this gun.

Are there any other smgs? Can't remember any. Considering how cheap the mp5 is, I hardly buy anything else.
 
Mac10 is great for upclose gun battles when everyone is getting the hp knocked from them.
You can even trick people into believing theres a huge ambush waiting delaying any rush atemps before they relise it.

Worst thing is youll usually will get mob with this thing by yourself
against a carbine rifle.

Its also good to trick people into thinking your a crack shooter when you start aim for the head.
But no lube job compared to a rifle.

Ump-back when i had very good aim with this thing people always found ways not to get smacked in the head and do the rush with the slow ROF or short ammo supply.
But a very good gun when used correctly.

I don't think thats true, the UMP gun manages to slow down the enemy. It overcomes the slow pace by using this ability. Just to let you know. I myself like the USP Tactical Pistol, the UMP uses the same Ammo, but the number 5 is hard to reach, so I don't usually buy this gun :)
 
Personally I pretty much use only the MP5 and eithre Ak or ColtM4.

The MP5 is a great all round weapon. Most effective at short to medium range but is still deadly at long range

The M4 is my fav weapon in the game. It's really accurate if you burst fire at for long range. At close range just let loose and go Almost to full auto. And for medium range near full auto works great. It's almost as powerfull as a Ak. But it's quieter than a AK and near silent if you put on the silencer making a better waepon for sneaking around :)

The Ak is simlair to the M4 but packs a little more power is much louder and goes right threw armor like it's not there. Vary deadly at close range full auto and near full auto at medium range and agian just like the colt dead on at long range if you burst in 1-3 shot bursts :)
 
Awl heck the best gun is the plain ol light machinegun.

If you can aim straight you make a positive strik against class A players. Even they cant avoid loosing 60% hp before you go hide some where or beat them to it by chasing them away.

You cant do one man barracades but if the other player thinks hes gunna get murdered hell think twice on it.

Fact is i can nolonger shoot straight since last game i had with this gun.
This Mg has a very strong pull to the gun recoil.
 
I still prefer the Colt over any other gun.. You can take about 4
guys with 1 clip if you place the shots properly.. and if you're
reaction is fast enough, they wouldn't even be able to get any shots
in before they realize what's going on..
