If Call of Duty players were The Avengers, Submachine Guns (SMG) would be Thor’s Hammer. They excel up close and can wipe out multiple players within seconds. With the right build, they can also be effective at range, hurling a beam of lead at players across maps. 

Heading into Black Ops Cold War, there are five Submachine Guns to choose from, but if you’re struggling to hone down on which is best for you to use, we have you covered. Here are our recommendations for the best Submachine Guns in Black Ops Cold War...

#3 - Milano 821

Coming in as the third-best SMG is the Milano 821, with this weapon airing a sense of familiarity alongside a powerful punch. The Milano 821 is a rendition of the Uzi that has dominated Call of Duty’s over the year and comes back as a solid choice for players who like to get up close and personal and prefer to aim down sight rather than hip fire. The Milano 821 requires a lot of precision and can be less effective than its counterparts such as the MP5...

#2 - MP5

Not willing to lie down without a fight, the MP5 has come from Modern Warfare with just as much skill and power in Black Ops Cold War. After dominating playlists for a year, the MP5 has hardly changed. It boasts incredible accuracy from the hip and through aiming, and its time to kill is second to only the AK-74u. Those that prefer familiar weapons though will likely head over to the MP5, and you can’t blame them. From point-blank range, the MP5 is sublime.

#1 - AK-74U

The AK-74U takes the top spot as the best Black Ops Cold War Submachine Gun, only by the finest of margins. The AK tops the charts as a result of its better damage range and time-to-kill, in comparison to the MP5. Both SMGs are valiant choices to rip through enemy defences and rack up kills, but the AK-74U has a little extra oompf up its sleeve. 

Of course, each gun is preferential, and different attachments can be used to optimise each functionality. However, based upon their overall abilities, the AK-74U stands out from the crowd as the best Submachine Gun in Black Ops Cold War.
