When no using stopping power, use a gun with a minimum damage of 30. Ex, SAW with grip + juggernaut + steady aim was an amazing in COD4, as SAW dealt 1 hit kill at any range in HC. If using a gun with a base damage below 30, you might find SP a bit useful, even though you still kill with 1 shot at short range. ex. PPSh from WaW greatly benefited from SP in HC, doing 1 hit kill at close range (except limbs)
