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 commonly, and available in a weapons cache in "Numbers." Attachments used often are Extended Mags or Dual Wield.

Multiplayer
The Kiparis is the classified SMG, unlocked after buying all the other Submachine guns, so not before level 41. It has a twenty round magazine that empties very quickly. Although the recoil is very predictable (always up and to the right), burst-firing is necessary at mid to long range; having a Grip as an attachment can help to mitigate this.

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.

Having a sight to replace the iron-sights is optional, and up to preference, as the iron-sights on the Kiparis aren't particularly clear, but provide good peripheral vision. If Warlord is being used, having Extended Mags, and a Grip or Silencer will make the weapon more useful at range, or a powerful stealth weapon, respectively.

Trivia

 * "Kiparis" means "Cypress" in Russian.
 * The Kiparis was not designed until the 1970s and even then didn't enter production until the early 1990s, so it dosen't really belong in a game that takes place in the 1960s.
 * The Kiparis is not in Zombie mode.
 * The serial number of Kiparis is "092040," and is found near the rear iron sight.
 * The Kiparis shares reloading sounds with the MP40.
 * The HUD icon shows the gun with extended mags.
 * On the Wii, the Kiparis is held with one hand instead of two.
 * Adding the grip to the Kiparis had no effect on the accuracy gun attribute in Create-a-Class 2.0. This was later fixed in an update.
 * Dual-Wielded Kiparises have a considerable amount of recoil, much more than any other dual-wielded weapon. However, it always climbs up and to the right and so can be somewhat compensated for.
 * The Kiparis has a much higher bullet penetration than a normal Submachine Gun. Being a Classified weapon, this could be an advantage over other Submachine Guns.
 * The Kiparis' iron sights share similarities with the Call of Duty 4 AK74u's iron sights.
