Black Ops 2: PDW-57

50 rounds of death. That is the best way to describe the PDW-57, with the highest magazine capacity of any gun in the SubMachine Gun Class. The PDW also has little to no recoil, making it a versatile weapon, effective from short to long range. The PDW is a 3 hit kill at short range, and a 6 hit kill at extreme range(we're talking across the map and halfway to the next continent, yo). It has a low rate of fire compared to most other SMG's, 720 Rounds per minute, but with rapid fire equipped, the PDW fires a full 900 RPM, putting it on par with the other SMGs. It is listed as having low damage, but it actually does more per round than any gun in its class(other than the MSMC). The PDW can be used with rapid-fire, and with the extended clip it can hold 65 rounds, creating a "spray-maker"(65 rounds, 900 RPM fire rate, 3 hit kill) comparable to a miniature "Death Machine"(200 rounds, 1200 RPM fire rate, 2 hit kill). However, unlike the death machine, the PDW can be customized and you can add a sight to it for more accurate firing, or a grip for reduced recoil or faster aiming. The PDW has a high mobility (the bar for which has been removed from Black Ops 2), Which means you can run faster with the PDW than with other guns(assault rifles, snipers, LMG's, and some SMG's). The PDW is a fully automatic SMG that is unlocked as soon as you can create-a-class, and offers high stats and a competitive edge even before you have unlocked any attachments.

Call Of Duty Black Ops 2: SWAT-556

The SWAT is a 3 round burst fire gun, and much like the type-95 and G11 before it, it has enough power to punch a hole in the sun(a very small hole, but still). The Swat can be outfitted with the "select-fire" attachment, and when in full-auto mode it is a more powerful, more accurate version of the type 25 assault rifle. The swat is a versatile weapon and can be outfitted with a variety of sights, from a classic reflex sight, to a target indicator(enemies show up in diamonds, like a chopper gunner), to a millimeter scanner(enemies are visible through walls and other cover). With FMJ equipped you can fire through most objects with increased damage, and take down score-streaks faster. The suppressor attachment makes your shots invisible on the mini-map, but you lose power, except not really; the SWAT is a 1 to 4 burst weapon depending on the location the shots register, the number of shots that register, and the amount of cover fired through, and the range between you and the target. With the suppressor equipped the SWAT is a 1 to 4 burst weapon, that is only less effective through cover(unless you also put FMJ on, and then it actually does more damage). The SWAT is a good gun for a "sneaking" class due to the fact that the suppressor has no effect on the damage, or a good rushing class if you use it fully automatic. The SWAT can also be used as a hybrid assault/sniper rifle, with its low kick and high accuracy, combined with high damage and rapid rate of fire, the SWAT can eliminate multiple hostiles at long range with more efficiency than a sniper rifle, due to the semi-automatic sniper rifles tremendously random recoil, and the bolt action rifles slow rate of fire. Statistically speaking, the SWAT is one of the best assault rifles in COD: Black Ops 2, and one of my more favorite guns(at least for now). What's your favorite gun? Which gun do you use the most? comment and let me know!
