I think alot goes back to when the game first came out, seem to take 2 bullets to kill, and with akimbo thats like 1 shot, it was an instant kill, you could literally kill the entire other team twice before you had to reload. Alot of hatred for them in early days. They are still quite formidable but nothing like they were.

My shotgun should kill you first, but with lag, in the kill cam, i didnt even shoot you yet, ive shot the asas 4 times before and it not show up in the kill cam once lol. I have noticed, akimbos dont seem to be affected by lag as much as other weapons, sounds kinda silly i know.

Built up a class with the following:

Primary: Mp7 with rapid fire and ext. mags

Secondary: Dual FMgs

Sleight of Hand Pro

Quickdraw Pro

Steady Aim Pro

Tactical: Flash bang

Lethal: Frag

OH... MY... GOD!!!!

I don't think I've ever had this much fun just working people over on smaller maps (mission, dome, hardhat).

I'm a 1.10 KD player on average (I play objective and.. well.. I'm old and have terrible quick twitch reflexes), but I'm easily +50 to +100% with this set-up.

Yeah, this is my new small map class.

Not quite ready to give up my RPG for bigger maps... but I may make a big map class with them as secondarys to see how it goes.

BTW, I even got some in-game rage hate with the FMGs. I usually don't get that.

Oh.. and the MP7... is my secondary for med-long range and when FMGs are out of ammo.

Apparently there are a lot of clowns then...

Maybe the clowns are the ones using the FMGs...

9 times out of 10 they are the [Removed by Moderator] choice of secondary...

Lulz make sure to put steady aim on the akimbo, it's like aiming down sight with acr kick. Good for getting those double and triple kills

fmgs take no skill they killl to fast ruins the game when you run in to them most of the time and those other "powerfull guns" arnt even that good kid. people think there over powerd because you see them alot, wrong people use them because they are easily controlled you can relay on them in a gun fight there not the best. the scar is way better then acr with its fire rate etc the acr barly has no recoil but its firerate it so slow.

People don't hate on every gun that kills them, well, that's certainly not true among the more normal of us who don't have anger issues.

Just last night I messaged a guy on the other team who got the last kill, it was one of the best sniping shots I've ever seen and I told him so, he hit a moving target through a tiny gap between two bits of cover at a very long distance.

I have no problem with being killed by any gun including ACR, MP7 and even a single FMG but make the FMGs akimbo or go quickscoping with a sniper and to many people you are getting kills cheap. As I said previously, if it doesn't bother you what others think of you then carry on.

Meh, use what you want. I occasionally get mad when I die by them but its usually my fault for getting too close/not getting the first shot off.

FMG9's can be beat easily by SMG's with rapid fire up close and they have zero chance against Assault Rifles/LMG's at distance. They are limited to close range and that is a good thing. Now if you could mow people down with them from 100 feet away then I would have a serious problem with people using them. Since that is not the case, IDGAF.

People hate on them because it's an easy and fast kill, that takes little to no effort or skill to achieve.

I stand by my point, the op is referring to receiving abusive messages in game, regardless of how many times you type "...".

I myself have received abusive messages about all manner of things, using the m16, hard-scoping, playing too much, pretending to be bad (whatever that means) , using tubes, having a crap ISP etc etc.

The answer is very simple. People rage against them because they do not like any weapon that beats their chosen or favorite weapon especially when it is in their weapons susposed high performance zone. they feel cheated and that it was a bs death when they die. When really it is not and never was.

So any weapon that can is OP and should be nerfed in their eyes. In this game that means akimbo anything, burst fire weapons that are accurate at close range, smgs that are accurate at long ranges, snipers that work at long and close equally well.

Because they're noob-friendly, take no skill, and OP.

You're ruining the game by using those guns... so quit using them for the sake of every players', good or bad, sanity.

They're very well suited to KC, mow them down at point plank and run straight over the tags. Works for me.

I am sure you have stopped using dual FMG-9s on 360 after your legendary performance on PC

Well we are talking about FMGs on the MW3 forum so the clues are all there if you think about it...

I guess your powers of deduction are not that good...

The fact that you are asked to join parties so they can flame you is testament to the fact that if you use n00b guns, then you will get abuse over respect...

I've never been flamed for using a gun that isn't cosidered n00by, but that's no surprise...

There is a lot of respect in this game to and from the deserving. If you don't see that respect, then what does that say about you?
