SMGs Overview:

  • P90: Mostly vertical recoil, easiest to control
  • MP7: Vertical with slight left drift
  • MAC-10: Sharp upward pattern
  • UMP-45: Moderate vertical recoil
  • MP9: Fast fire rate, vertical pattern

Core Control Techniques:

  1. Pull down to counter vertical recoil
  2. Make small horizontal adjustments
  3. Counter-strafe before shooting
  4. Practice burst firing for long range
  5. Use full sprays only at close range

Training Tips:

  • Use custom training maps
  • Practice daily for 20 minutes
  • Start with static targets
  • Progress to moving targets
  • Focus on one weapon at a time

Common Mistakes:

  • Spraying at long distances
  • Not resetting recoil between sprays
  • Making excessive mouse movements
  • Using incorrect sensitivity settings

Recommended Settings:

  • Mouse sensitivity: 1.5-2.0
  • Clear, static crosshair
  • Minimal visual effects
  • Consistent frame rate

Practice these patterns consistently to develop muscle memory and improve accuracy in competitive play.
