Kiparis

The Kiparis is a submachine gun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is unlocked after the player has bought all other submachine guns.

Singleplayer
The Kiparis is seen in the hands of Spetsnaz rarely, and available in a weapons cache in "Numbers." Attachments used often are Extended Mags or Dual Wield. Overall, it is a steady short range choice with a very high rate of fire.

Multiplayer
The Kiparis is the classified SMG, unlocked after buying all the other Submachine guns, so not before level 41. The Kiparis has the highest bullet penetration of any other Submachine gun. It has a twenty round magazine that empties very quickly, chewing through enemies and ammo alike. Although the recoil is very predictable (always up and to the right), burst-firing is necessary at mid to long range.

Due to its low ammo amount and high rate of fire it is recommended to have Scavenger and Sleight of Hand with the Extended Mag attachment.

Interestingly, the Decoy Grenades have the same sound file to the Kiparis making them a good combination to use as some players will mistake Kiparis Gunfire for a Decoy grenade.
