I like them.

I never used them from the off, but I was made aware of just how effective they were and have been using them ever since.

I can see where you are coming, as whenever I use them I certainly spray and pray because taming them is insanely difficult - for me, anyway.

Not sure they should be removed, or even nerfed though. To be honest, I only use them because I know I will make plenty of kills with them through each prestige meaning I'll max out the proficiency with it and make more XP than I would with the other Seconday Weapons. I much prefer using pistols.

Just as Sandy Ravage said - "try 'em out they're fun"

I love 'em and hearing people cry in-game is hilarious because really they aren't OP. Some people lack the creativity to counter and keep using the same class over and over again. That's their fault...

Agreed. Akimbo pistols are terrible. They are too strong and takes to skill to use. Any gun that doesn't force you to ads to land hits shouldn't be this strong.

For all of the people so angry at akimbo machine pistols, did you play MW2?  I ask because I played a lot of MW2, and had to deal with the Akimbo Model 1887s.  Prior to their patch, they were ridiculous.  Then the lovely Akimbo SMGs were fun, thank goodness the masses never caught on to how deadly those things could be. 

As for the Akimbo Machine Pistols being such an issue in MW3, not really.  You can adapt and counter them, just like anything else in COD.  If you run into them often in a match, take note and keep out of close combat.  The range on the FMG9s in particular after patch isn't as much as everyone would love to have you believe.  They can be countered effectively and you can punish the enemy for trying to use them past their effective range.

The main issue I have with them is that they can outgun pretty much any gun at close range and they're a secondary.

Don't you think its a little messed up people rock with a SMG as primary and akimbo MPs as a secondary, when subs are pretty damn good a close range anyway.

I love people saying "learn how to counter them" and then not providing any ways or means on how to do that.

I roll with the model, which on a good connection, will stop dual MPs in their tracks, but if my connection is slightly worse than theirs, they **** all over the shotguns, also you don't get punished for being inaccurate with akimbo MPs, you can spary side to side and get a kill. Miss with model / spas / ksg you get punished royally.

Also have you seen how insanely akimbo FMG9s destroy juggernauts? its completley crazy.
