10. SMG-11 (Sledge, Smoke, Mute)

The SMG-11 is a machine pistol weapon that is equipped as a secondary gun for the operators Sledge, Smoke, and Mute. 

This gun has an insanely high rate of fire that will literally mow down anybody in your path. But, the high rate of fire comes with the price of an unstable gun since the recoil is hard to control.

Though, you can add on attachments like the vertical grip and compensator to help contain the recoil.

SMG-11 Stats:

•  Standard damage of 33(0-18m), 22(28+m)
• Suppressed damage of 28(0-18m), 19(28+m)
• A rate of fire of 1270 RPM
• Damage per second of 698.5
• Magazine size of 16

Weapon Power: 7.5/10

8. MP5K (Mute)

The MP5K is a submachine gun equipped as a primary for the operator Mute. The gun has a good rate of fire with a decent amount of damage. The recoil is usually very tame, so I believe you shouldn’t have a problem with it! But, in case you do, the MP5K offers the usual attachments of muzzle break, compensator, and flash hider. The bullet damage drop can be annoying, but since you will be playing as Mute, you shouldn’t have too much of a bad time.

• Suppressed damage of 25(0-18m), 19(28+m)

This gun has an impressive rate of fire with a decent amount of damage that puts this gun at the rank of one the best guns in the game. Unfortunately, it has a rather small magazine size.

4. 416-C Carbine (Jager)

The 416-C is an assault rifle equipped as the primary for the operator Jager. This gun is praised a lot for its raw power and very stable shooting. The attachments are what you would expect in a gun for a defender, which is okay because this gun is already good as it is. The gun is pretty easy to use and best used at close range, but it can handle closer or farther ranges either way.
