I love the look of the Uzi. It's easily my favorite fire arm in existence.

As for your question, I wouldn't say that they are the worst. Sometimes they are the best, it all depends on personal taste or the situation at hand. I'd still use an Uzi, even if it was the worst gun in the game.

Black Ops 2 they were overpowered because they were essentially Rifles.

Rifles are always fucking broken in every game and I'm tired of it.

At least Black Ops 2 also had some of the best pistols in gaming, they were all great. I miss the TAC .45.

CSGO pistols are really good. In close range they're better than an assault rifle

Pistols in cod are good too, they swap quickly, fire fast (up to your natural ability) and still kill in 3 or so shots.

Nah dude, lmgs are always the worst weapon type in video games. They usually give smgs better hip fire spread than any other weapons, while lmgs are essentially assault rifle with more spread and more recoil because they can't think of any other way to balance a bigger magazine size.

They're good for unloading a large amount of bullets in the general direction of the enemy, especially considering how many games let you dual wield them, but they kinda fall in a niche where every other weapon is better. SMGs are often designed as a "spray and pray" type of weapon, which confines their usefulness to noobs who can't be bothered to learn to aim.

Because they are also shitty in real life and are no longer used.
>>
>>376305564
They're usually among the best since most shootan games' encounters take place at point blank range.
Usually, they have the tightest maximum spread and/or low recoil so you can spray like a retard.
Many games give SMGs high power at point blank that drops to shit after mid range.
They also have some sort of speed advantage like faster base running speed and better accuracy on the move.
Quite often they end up rivaling assault rifles because long range shootouts are often rare in most games.

It's more rare that SMGs are too weak versus other weapons, and it usually ends up being because they are straight up weaker overall in damage output.

CSGO pistols have their uses, but they are in no way consistently better than the main rifle.

You don't see a fullbuy team with 3 people using M4, 1 Awper and 1 guy with a fucking deagle running around.

With $1200 price UMP dominates the SMGs, rendering everything, except P90 useless and P90 is useless on higher ranks. As much as I love UMP it needs a price bump at the very least, I'm always too tempted to forcebuy it
>>
>>376306596
>>376306335
It's been a thing for a while, mostly due to economy (why buy a FAMAS when you could have a UMP and armor for the same price?) along with the fact that you really aren't that much worse off with an SMG compared to a budget rifle. You only ever really see them bought when a team's economy is fucked and they have to go all-in with whatever their money can get them.
>>
They were good in Battlefield Heroes, but that's because they're effectively the assault rifle expy.
>>
>>376306815

if you can get consistent kills with cheap weapons theres nothing wrong with using them. i mostly use the ump, nova and scout and it frequently happens that after my team loses a couple of rounds and our eco crumbles that i have enough cash to get us a full buy anyway because you can get crazy money for getting a couple of nova kills

The other SMGs are good too. The UMP is absolutely amazing at close to mid range and the Micro Uzi with an extended mag is great at close range.
>>
>>376306889
Yeah, but the issue really isn't other SMG being useless, it's the UMP being this good. Well, Mac-10 sees its use on T forces because it's even cheaper and still good. Though I dunno, UMP is good but is it that much of a problem? Remember, it's been this good for a pretty long time and people discovered "hey, this is neat" only recently.

>>376307141
>Looks like an SMG
Looks more like a shortened machine gun to me - stock in particular is very MG42-ish. Looks are pretty meaningless, you can get a lower for AR pattern rifle chambered for 9mm.

I don't think you can use modern nomenclature to classify sci-fi energy weapons, cartridge is very important there.
>>
>>376306889
>With $1200 price UMP dominates the SMGs, rendering everything, except P90 useless
The team-specific SMG's are surprisingly legit, too. The MP9 has it's retarded firerate for shredding helmets along with a fast as fuck reload speed and good running accuracy, the Mac is decent and even more ridiculously cheap. The UMP could probably use a 100-200 dollar price increase, though.

>>376307008
>crazy money for getting a couple of nova kills
Even if I know that armor + pistol is going to ruin my day if I try it the pure math of "just get two kills and your gun will already be making a return on investment" makes it hard to pass up.

Because they are all-around inferior to Assault Rifles unless the game starts throwing around retarded nerfs/buffs to make them viable.

I remember CoD2 where every German player started with the StG44 and you never saw the MP40 ever.

Also, the American and British players would ditch their weapons for the StG44 all the time whenever they found one unless they were riflemen. And even then, the StG44 was a decent rifle substitute as well.

Only the Russian PPSh had any viability for pure pray-and-spray due to its magazine capacity.

They should have just given the Thompson drum magazines so we would see it more.

>but is it that much of a problem
Yes, because it renders all other choices in the category useless compared to it. There are literally no downsizes to buying UMP over anything else. It has one of the lowest prices (only $150 more than the cheap garbage of mac10, can't even buy a flashbang with that), it has easy spray control, it has one of the best DPS among SMGs, gives 200% kill reward, can be force bought every round (assuming you don't buy grenades) and effective on close to mid ranges, with being relatively consistent even on longer ranges (though I wouldn't rush long with it). Yes, the firerate is not as good, but who cares, nobody uses it as an SMG, they use it as the cheapest (and one of the best) rifle in the game. The only downside is 25 magazine capacity.

what would you suggest the ump would cost? i think 1500 is fair. currently you can get a smoke/frag, armor and the ump for 2150. thats too much honestly

i mean if youre facing a team that you figure has AKs and awps, buying a helmet is wasted money in eco rounds. if you have smoke and a ump, or have a frag and get some damage with it, ump vs ak or awp is a matter of skill in many locations on many maps despite the gun costing less than half of what an ak does
>>
>>376307251
I generally liked switching between the LR pistol and the LR SMG. The former was consistent and had a smaller crosshair, but it's also fun being a pain in the dick with the latter and Burning Bullets. However, almost every Soldier pretty much carried the short-ranged SMG, that thing was effectively the Voss of BFH. Little reason to use stock when the SR was a better close-mid weapon when every Soldier also wanted to abuse Blasting Strike, and a LR weapon was used for anything further out.
>>
>>376307545
>starts throwing around retarded nerfs/buffs to make them viable.
I think making them slower to use is a good way to balance them. Like having faster ADS and better mobility for SMGs, especially in games where you have free look, works great IMO. That and more controllable recoil for the SMGs.
>>
>>376306776
yeah because a fucking FAL will have less recoil

I don't recall if there is a machine pistol in vanilla S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but if there is it's good.

This really depends on what the role do you see for it, I suppose.

Bison is a cheap P90 for low tier players, it's in a good place for silvers and novas, i.e. the most common ranks in the game, they don't need to balance the game for all tiers. There are also rumors of them adding MP5SD and I hope they do to shake some things up within that category.

I guess because the UMP in CSS was turbo shit? Honestly, I loved the UMP forever in GO and would use it all the time. Shit's dirt cheap and is a shockingly solid weapon for the price.
>>
>>376307545
Same went for COD1.
Back in COD1, the game didn't have damage loss over distance, so they "balanced" weapons around inaccuracy. SMGs couldn't hit shit even when sighted, but the MP44 dominated both in dramatically superior damage and accuracy.

And then in COD2, everything EXCEPT SMGs had pinpoint accuracy when sighted. So while you could snipe a guy with the MP44, you had to rely on luck for the SMGs to land their shots at a distance (and pistols were 100% useless as their spread was even worse).

It's been a while, but the PPSh and PPS-43 in COD2 were really good, not just among SMGs but overall in the game because they had high long range damage of 20 per shot (rest of the SMGs all fell to 10 damage after short range) and the PPSh had perfect sighted spread whereas the other SMGs had an inherit 0.5° deviation.

Still, even with those advantages for the Russians lacking an LMG/AR, you can't beat the MP44 doing 40 damage at all ranges.
Also the Bren was statistically the best weapon in both games, much better than even the MP44, but nobody used it because the fucking thing takes up 3/4 of the screen.

legacy meta. same reason it took everyone so long to realise the "CoD" guns are outrageously good

theyre used to the skill and economy meta revolving around the AK/M4/AWP recoil, fire rate and damage values and around getting the economy to a point where they can consistently and safely buy those things. the team economy meta is super important at pro level where a missing smoke can totally change the course of a round

meanwhile, all along the CoD guns are better than either type of M4 in every possible way and the UMP is better than buying a galil or famas or any other gun up to the value of the AK

theres been an uptick in pros using CoD guns and SMGs lately though because theyre starting to realise.
>>
>>376306495
They will drop the fuck down and bleed to death
>>
>>376308507
Yeah, pretty sure the MP5 has less recoil and more damage per shot than the P90 (or maybe just a faster firing rate?). Either way, MP5 is a real shit wrecker in that game.

>>376307913

Eeeh, CoD guns are expensive and AK recoil is easier to control than SG recoil. UMP is cheap so people are using it.

Don't Galil/FAMAS have better damage fall-off than UMP? Doesn't matter in close combat, but at long range it does.

>theres been an uptick in pros using CoD guns and SMGs lately though because theyre starting to realise.

You mean the AUG and SG? Those guns are accurate as fuck on the first shot and the scope is nice, unsure why they're so unpopular at the pro level, but I guess that whole team economy thing and not wanting to factor in the added cost is kind of a big issue, more so when the cost difference between an M4 and an AUG is a smoke grenade.

at the kinda ranges most fights take place at in CS the fall off is negligible and the accuracy on both the galil and famas arent great. not to mention if youre talking a low money situation, as in lets say you have 3000 dollars, and you can get a cheap rifle and armor no helmet or some grenades and no armor, or you can have the UMP and full utility and armor, i'll take the ump every time. you can close space with utility and get picks a with the ump while trading hits using your armor much easier than you can run no armor, one utility and a cheap AR that cant shoot on the move as well as the ump

SG gets one hit kills on headshot and is much easier to aim consistently at long ranges than the AK imo. on dust2, clearing and taking B from tunnels with the SG is ezpz

Yeah, but you could still one-hit-headshot people with pretty much any peashooter except if they're military armored or exoskeleton. I like the default damage model, the enemies are slightly bulletspongy. The MP5 in SoC was a great starter gun because there's about 300 +P 9x19 rounds in a few crates in Garbage, used it till you get Strelok's "doubletap" AK74.
>>
>>376312721
But the cone of fire is fucking enormous. Just really disappointing, those guns are pretty accurate at full auto IRL, being 9mm subguns.

I think I mostly used sawn-off with slugs and Fort-15/Walther pistol. Threw the MP5 away in disgust. Or maybe sold it.
>>
>>376312669
This! Every hack and slash ARPG or any game of the sort should have an adventure mode where you don't have to bother with the fucky story barring your entry to other areas, just go in, start killing and do quests.

STALKER CoC and Sacred 1 (LAN server Hack and Slash freeplay option) are great for this, just go in and lose yourself.
>>
>>376312815
Don't use ironsights they do not improve accuracy. Sub-40 meters and align crosshairs to upper body/neck and drop cheeki breekis. Modded STALKER subguns are pretty godly though, low weight and ammo a plenty, and are usually real-life accurate to 100ish meters. Still wouldn't trust them to put down a bloodsucker or pseudogiant, buckshot/slugs or bust.

Man, why is STALKER surrounded by so many myths? I guess the ballistics are so wonky you have to rationalize it somehow. Some guy was swearing a couple of days irons improve accuracy massively. Anyway, at the very least we can agree they don't reduce it, and I played on Master so no crosshairs. I don't like crosshairs in games which have irons anyway, because muh immershun.

If your opponent can't spray control you most likely can't shoot with p250 either, since on lower ranks people just spam with their bodyshots like retards. At least it works for five seven.

What I think made a good bit of the game for me were the physics, which were also befitting of the setting.

>>376313431
The story was that EA noticed a ton of players had shitloads of VP and many weren't ponying up cash for the cosmetics, so they tried tweaking it but obviously they went overboard with the idea. At the very least they made permanent weapons fairly cheap, but due to how the character/faction system worked five dollars only really sorted out like 1-2 characters.

Why the fuck did you like the shotguns in R6V2? Any gun can kill someone with like 2 bullets in that game. Fire rate is way better than a single big shot because you get more capacity and range.

Game balance, to make pistols worth anything at all, along with making different weapon types feel distinct to the player. The alternative would be something like in Arma, where a 9mm SMG sucks just as much at killing shit as a 9mm pistol, with the main difference being slightly more effective range and 29 immediate backup shots.

I want an uzi so bad, even though I'm sure they're highly illegal.

They seem like the easiest guns to use. Like, in the hypothetical scenario where a group of wild animals or killers are surrounding you, you just spray bullets everywhere and all of the threats are vanquished.

You can't do that with a handgun, you can't do that with a shotgun, you may be able to do that with an automatic assault rifle, but those are big and bulky and for somebody as frail and inexperienced as me with guns I'd probably have difficulty spraying it against the surrounding foes.

TL;DR: I believe an uzi is the best gun

In most parts of burgerland Uzis are legal (along with quite a few hoops to jump through), and generally on the cheaper end of the full-auto price range. Unfortunately, "cheap" in that particular field means somewhere around 10 grand. If you're really itching for that form factor you can get a civilian legal one that only shoots semi-auto for a lot less.

>>376326346
Once you go more towards the simulation end of shooters they start to become a lot more effective, if only for the fact that the sheer volume of steady fire is a lot more threatening than hastily aimed rifle shots once you get out past 200m or so. It gets even more fun with GPMGs and (best of all) HMGs, where you get a fun case of "they're 800m out and pouring hot molten death on us and we don't have any effective weapons out to that range".

Grenadiers and soldiers could replace the SMG with an LMG but for everyone else it was damn near essential to have a spare SMG in their inventory for close combat action, especially since everything was so short range in the game that you basically HAD to also have everyone bring a rifle to shoot anything that was further than 10 meters away.

yes rifles use rifle ammo, that's why aks-74u is not an SMG.

PDW's have better penetration than SMGs is the way I think it works, since they use different ammunition.

The P90 and MP7 have more stopping power than the MP5.

I recently found out you can own a shotgun in the uk and the only requirement is not to be insane and have someone cosign you

As it conveniently turns out the maximum capacity you can have is 2 shells loaded at once and double barrel shotguns make my cock rock hard

Should I go for it? The only thing I can think is that people coming into my house might point it out and it might seem pretty autistic that the only reason I have it is because I like them, i dunno
>>
>>376335567
carbines are smaller assault rifles that fire intermediate rounds
SMGs fire pistol rounds
PDWs fire rounds that are between pistol rounds and intermediate rounds
>>
>>376335274
Thats wrong as fuck though, theres a reason people use carbines over PDWs.

No they don't. Both have terminal ballistics comparable to .22 magnum. However, they basically ignore soft body armor with the right ammo.

Also yes they're sexy, grab one before they completely ban any and all firearms.

because using a long rifle in close quarters doesn't matter in video games, with your barrel just clipping through walls anyways

Ah okay, so PDW's round has same power just better penetration.
>>

You're right, its 3, only if one is in the chamber

What should I go for? Because of the UK's gun culture I really don't have any idea of what I should look around at

I'd say it's because they facilitate an aggressive playstyle where shootouts are short but intense.

single satisfying bang when fired and it's short-mid range in games. The hype phenomena around it by making you run closer someone to blast them in the face is similar to the hype of running up and smashing them with a melee weapon, only the hit is with a gun-shooting sound instead of a dull hit from the melee weapon. That depends on the video game though. Furthermore if you are firing more than one shell there is a rhythm to follow due to the slow but steady firing rate (unless we are talking about say, the AA12 in Killing Floor that just unloads like 20 fucking shells into something in rapid succession).

I think my favorite shotguns were in the Serious Sam series and Killing Floor actually.

You'd be best asking on britpol or /k/. You can get some decently priced (i.e. not 20 grand hand-engraved masterpieces) ones at Antique fairs though in my experience. Hunting shops are always a safe bet too.
>>
>>376336328
No. 9x19 is pretty effective out of SMG length barrels, and heavier loads, like 147gr, perform within a few percent of .45acp loads in terms of wound volume.

You need to lurk /k/ for a bit or read up on terminal ballistics and the mechanics behind why gunshot wounds kill.

Dude the H2 magnum sucked, only thing it had on 3's pistol was clip size but when each shot is so weak it barely makes a difference.

Halo 3 pistol was pretty much a worse battle rifle but that's still far better than 2's magnum.

Even a single 9mm IRL will put you down. In vidya its weak as fuck. And subguns are made out to be shit. There's a reason specops etc. for forever have used the mp5

people complain about the SMGs but it was also true that MP40 was a really important weapon in the war.
Putting 9mm into relatively long barrel is actually a good idea and has gained some popularity in recent years like with pistol carbines. It's not just a big handgun with faster fire and more bullets.
>>
>>376312016
Its a machine pistol. Goddam.

>>376305564
I think they're usually the best weapons in most games (I played). They usually only suck in large open areas. Especially the P90 tends to be overpowered if it's an option.

am i just a stubborn asshole, or is the MP7 just so damn godly? I pull off sik headshots all the time, at least when i'm not busy getting OHK'd by the damn AK, thanks for the traditions valve

>>376316954
Well. They died because armour tech advanced to a point where pistol rounds of almost all types became ineffective, in many cases failing to even do as much as bruise and crack ribs. Heavier pistol rounds will still do that but lighter rounds tend to to nothing against modern armour except make people sore as fuck.

So now we have carbines and pdws using intermediate rifle rounds that DO defeat modern armour still.
>>
>>376305738
MP9 is my favorite operator gun in vidya
>>
>>376338301
MP7 is actually the main reason I rarely end up buying the budget rifles. The pattern and recoil are easy to control, movement speed and tagging are better than with rifles and the main drawback is the range. The damage isn't a huge problem due to it being rather accurate, and since SMGs get much lower movement penalty rushing down rifles with this is not very hard.

it's been used by secret service and bodyguards in many countries.

it's incredibly small, making it easy to conceal, and you're not going to be firing at anyone who is not within 50 feet. a trained shooter will have no issues with firing short aimed bursts.

It detaches from under the grip and can reattach onto the back.

Because SMGs IRL are only really useful due to their compact size, and in most games weapon size is not relevant in the slightest and you can carry whatever you want without any drawbacks, so there is really no reason the use an SMG when every rifle is just as "light and compact" as an SMG and more powerful to boot.

The Halo 2 pistol is the M6C, anon.

CE = M6D
2 = M6C
3 = M6G
ODST = M6C SOCOM or M6S
Reach = A different submodel of M6G
4 = M6H
5 = M6H2

>>376336843
The Halo 2 pistol was at least still useful in campaign for cleaning up shieldless enmies, same for MP and with the plasma pistol. The Halo 3 pistol fires too slow for that but also isn't powerful enough to be useful otherwise
