Vector

The Vector CRB/SO is a Submachine Gun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The TDI (Transformational Defense Industries) Vector uses a revolutionary design intended to decrease recoil of powerful weapons to manageable levels. Its key feature is the operating system called the Kriss Super V, a bolt that redirects the recoil downward. This combined with the repositioned trigger produces less-felt recoil in the powerful .45 ACP round. However, it also has a significantly raised sight-line. One of the only other modern submachineguns in .45 ACP, the UMP45, handles recoil by having a lower rate of fire, so the Vector combines high stopping power with a higher rate of fire.

Multiplayer
The Vector boasts the highest rate of fire and lowest recoil of any SMG in the game. However, it also has the lowest damage of EVERY gun in the game, runs out of ammo the fastest, and has what are generally considered to be bad iron sights. The Vector's damage per bullet is practically equivalent to that of the Mini-Uzi and P90, with the only difference being that the Mini-Uzi and P90 will be able to kill with one less bullet if the target is within a very small range interval between close and medium range. Scavenger is extremely popular among Vector users. The Vector is generally considered to be the easiest SMG to use at long range, and kills the second fastest at long range, behind the UMP45.

Because the Vector chews through ammo, Extended Magazines can be very helpful as this allows the player to continue firing for longer, or allows the player to kill more enemies before needing to reload. The Silencer can also be effective since the player won't lose much power even if a silencer is used as it will almost always kill in 5 shots without stopping power, or 4 shots with stopping power. ACOG and Thermal scopes add a small amount of recoil and a Red Dot Sight makes the Vector more effective for medium to long range shooting.

In Hardcore the Vector's fast firing makes it very effective since it requires 2 shots to kill at any distance without stopping power, and 1 shot with stopping power at close range in normal circumstances.

Trivia

 * Although it has roughly the same barrel size and exact same caliber as the UMP .45, it does much less damage in-game.


 * In "Just Like Old Times", Soap uses a unique black Vector.


 * On the back of the Vector the player can see the words, 'Infinity Ward, Encino CA'.


 * The Vector has a different Fall Camouflage design compared to other weapons. It has orange stripes which are reminiscent of a tiger.


 * The Vector is held in an awkward way in the third person model, it appears as if the trigger is at the bottom of the grip. You can see how in the photo above with the Ultranationalist holding one.


 * If you look closely at the fire select switch of the picture of the Vector with Fall Camouflage, you will see a "two burst shot" mode which the real vector has. It is one of the few guns to have a two burst mode instead of a three burst mode.
 * The orange color in fall camo for the Vector is slightly darker due to the gun having a standard tan color.
