Best Modern Warfare 2 ISO 9mm attachments

With so many attachments available in the Modern Warfare 2 gunsmith, it can be tricky to find the very best combination to use before loading into a match. After some testing, we've settled on this set of five:

  • Barrel: 9" PTX Trainer
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Stock: Res 2
  • Rear Grip: EXP Shear
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag

The additional damage comes from the 9" PTX Trainer barrel which offers improvements to damage range, bullet velocity, and movement speed. For the fastest reaction times possible, the VLK LZR 7mW laser and Res 2 stock significantly reduce aim-down sight and sprint-to-fire times making it very easy to snap onto the target.

With no way to cancel a reload, the 50 Round Drum comes into its own. The ability to eliminate several opponents without having to retreat and refill the magazine gives you the perfect opportunity to rack up a huge amount of kills.

  • Ultimate: Quick Fix

The combination of Bomb Squad and Battle Hardened provides some much-needed resistance to enemy lethal and tactical equipment that's bound to land close by during a match. Next is Fast Hands which increases weapon swap speed and allows you to throw grenades at a much faster speed.

Lastly, Quick Fix is our Ultimate perk of choice. Scoring a kill or capturing an objective while low on health starts the regeneration process immediately, giving you the best chance of continuing your streak.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

Semtex grenades are excellent for dealing additional damage while the stun grenade allows you to slow the movement of an opponent, allowing you to shred them with the ISO 9mm in the blink of an eye.

Dead Silence is one of the very best field upgrades in Modern Warfare 2. The silent footsteps allow you to get behind enemy lines without alerting anyone to your location with a frustrating audio cue.

Is the ISO 9mm good in Modern Warfare 2?

The ISO 9mm has managed to slot itself straight into the Modern Warfare 2 meta thanks to its lightning-fast time to kill and the ability to move around the map quickly when wielding the SMG. There's a chance it will receive a nerf soon so be sure to take advantage of its immense firepower!
