In call of duty 4 are Smg guns or assault guns better?

Favorite Answer

it all depends on your style, game mode you will be playing, and stage.

If you have to be highly mobile you need a smg.
modes that i recommend smgs domination, sabotage, headquarters, and occasionally search and destroy.If you pray and spray alot smg will be your key to staying alive.Smgs vs some players will allow you to literally run circles around them.


assault rifles
if you will be camping on teamdeath you should stick with assault rifles. The extra bullet damage and distance you can see will save your rear end alot.


levels to use assault over smg

pipeline
ambush

if its solely to get a golden gun i personally believe the uzi is easier to get then the ak.

if your not cheating to get the golden guns the mp44 will be a hard *** gun to get all the needed headshots...Show more

Pros and Cons:

Assault Rifles:
Pros: Good at medium to long range, decent accuracy, medium-high damage,
Cons: Not very mobile (can sprint very long), medium recoil, rate of fire is just ok

SMGs
Pros: Good at short to medium range, not too much recoil (for the most part), extremely mobile, excellent rate of fire, about half have medium damage,
Cons: Not very effective at longer ranges, some have low damage

Overall, I'd say assault rifles are a bit better but it depends on the map and how you fight. If you want to fight long range use assault rifles. If you wanna fight in short ranges use smgs. Considering you use snipers though, assault rifles will probably feel more comfortable to you...Show more
