The MP9 is a 9mm submachine gun exclusive to Counter-Terrorists in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2, serving as the successor to the Schmidt Machine Pistol from previous Counter-Strike games.

Manufactured by Switzerland-based Brügger & Thomet AG, the MP9 evolved from the Steyr TMP design, featuring improvements like a Picatinny rail, folding stock, and enhanced safety trigger.

Key Features:

• High rate of fire
• Fast movement speed
• Quick reload time (fastest in game at 2.1 seconds)
• Excellent moving and jumping accuracy
• Low damage dropoff compared to other SMGs
• $600 kill reward in Competitive Mode

Limitations:

• High recoil
• Low base damage
• Poor armor penetration
• Limited effectiveness against armored opponents

Tactical Usage:

• Ideal for anti-eco rounds
• Excellent ambush weapon
• Effective at close to mid-range
• Best used with burst-firing technique
• Strong choice for mobile play styles
• Cost-effective force buy option

The MP9 excels in early-game economy rounds and force-buys, particularly against unarmored opponents. Its high mobility and accurate spray pattern while moving make it especially effective for aggressive CT-side plays and close-quarters combat.

Recent updates have improved the weapon's armor penetration by approximately 20% and enhanced its accuracy, making it more viable against armored opponents while maintaining its role as a specialized SMG for Counter-Terrorist forces.
