Changes: PM-9

Revision as of 00:41, 30 December 2019

For similarly named weapons, see PM63, MP9 and M9.

The PM-9 is a submachine gun featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Campaign

The weapon appears once in the campaign, in "Stronghold" in the hands of one of Makarov's men.

Multiplayer

The PM-9 is unlocked at level 56, sporting a 32-round magazine. The PM-9 has the fastest fire rate of any automatic weapon in the game at 1111 rpm, making the weapon very effective in close quarters, featuring decent enough power. However, the PM-9 has a slow reload time and limited range both of which can be partially cured by Sleight of Hand and Range, respectively.

Pairing Rapid Fire, Extended Mags and Steady Aim, is one of the most effective setups for the PM-9. Rapid Fire will bolster the PM-9's performance at close range and gives the PM-9 an unmatched rate of fire. Combined with the three-hit-kill and reliable hip-fire at close range, the PM-9 is capable of killing multiple opponents very quickly. Extended Mags will partially cure the issues of the gun burning through the player's ammunition quickly and its slow reload time.

If a player wants to employ the PM-9 in a traditional submachine gun role, the Kick Proficiency reduces the recoil to very manageable levels. The iron sights can be obstructive to some players, so one may one to equip a Red Dot Sight or Holographic Sight. The muzzle flash of the PM-9 can also be a nuisance, so equipping a Suppressor will eliminate the muzzle flash entirely.

With Rapid Fire, the PM-9 statistically becomes the most powerful submachine gun in the game and is extremely effective within the short range the weapon is suited for. Despite the high power at close ranges, the PM-9 still suffers from limited range, poor accuracy at longer ranges, and a slow reload time, weaknesses of which can be cured by perks and proficiencies chosen at the players discretion.

Infinity Ward has released a hotfix that has decreased the recoil of the PM-9 drastically to make it much more on par with the PP90M1. The recoil profile after the update appears to be similar to the Mini Uzi from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Due to the high unlock level, high recoil and low damage, it is often overlooked by many players for more powerful or accurate SMG's, like the MP7.

Survival Mode

The PM-9 is available in Survival Mode at level 23 and costs $2000. The PM-9 is also used by Claymore Experts. The PM-9 is highly effective in close quarters, but the recoil and the reload time lessens the weapon's potential, as well as the late availability of Sleight of Hand. Becuase of the very high RPM, it is capable of killing enemy Juggernauts almost instantly at close range. Dumping a full magazine at point-blank range into it's head will quickly dispatch it, though this is extremley risky unless the player does this as soon as the Juggernaut is dropping from the helicopter that transports it into the map, as otherwise the Juggernaut with easily kill the player in seconds.

Trivia

The PM-9 is held by one hand in first-person, but held with two hands in third-person.
Attaching a sight will make the hand clip through it during an empty reload.
The PM-9 has a partial fingerprint on the rear receiver. This is similar to the Mini-Uzi from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where that gun also had a large fingerprint smudge on the back of the reciever.

Sporting a 32-round magazine, the PM-9 has decent enough power and the fastest fire rate of any automatic weapon in the game at 1090, making the weapon very effective in close quarters. However, the PM-9 has a slow reload time and high recoil, both of which can be partially cured by [[Sleight of Hand]] and [[Kick]] respectively. [[Rapid Fire]] is an interesting choice for the PM-9, as it increases the rate of fire to dizzying levels, and paired with [[Steady Aim]], the PM-9 becomes devastating at close range and the small crosshairs allow it to be used out to medium range. [[Range]] will increase the PM-9's maximum 3 hit kill zone and allow it to be more effective outside of medium range; overall the PM-9 is extremely effective in close range combat due to it's very high rate of fire and short 3-hit-kill range, but is outclassed by every other submachine gun in terms of recoil, magazine capacity, reload speed and penetration.
