The HRM-9 stands as one of the additions to the submachine gun arsenal in Modern Warfare 3, and there are indications that may it be overpowered.

The absolute best HRM-9 loadout to shred in MW3
Let’s dive into which attachments make the HRM-9 a truly overpowered weapon.

We begin with the Folding Stock for enhanced recoil control and improved fire aim stability.
Since this build won’t be running a barrel, the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop is brought in to help with improving the recoil along with sprint-to-fire and aim-down-sight speed.
Another attachment to help the lack of a barrel is the 9mm High Grain Rounds. These will help to increase bullet velocity and damage range. These will be loaded into a 50 Round Drum.

Finally, you can optimize recoil and stability while being harder to spot on the radar with the ZEHMN35 Comensated Flash Hider muzzle attachment.
