PDW-57

"Fully automatic personal defense weapon. Increased range and largest ammo capacity in its class."

- Create-A-Class Description.

The pns-dw 

is a Submachine Gun first seen in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II Multiplayer reveal trailer. It has a 50 round magazine and is fully automatic. The time to kill is the lowest in the category as it only takes 3 bullets to kill at close range (excluding headshot multipliers) and is tied with the MSMC in this regard but handling characteristics are in favour of the MSMC which has lower recoil and a faster reload time(-0.2sec from the PDW-57). Given that it has the lowest recoil (bar the MSMC), the highest magazine capacity, high damage and an early unlock, it is a highly effective weapon in multiplayer which is reflected in its popularity amongst players.

Trivia

 * The PDW-57 has the same reload sound as the M16 from the first Black Ops.
 * The suppressor is currently glitched on this weapon, making the user still show on the minimap when firing.


 * The design of this gun is similar to the Magpul PDR.
 * The gun is heavily influenced by the real-world [P90]. In addition to the similar magazine and feeding system, the 57 in the name is a reference to the 5.7mm round that the P90 uses.
