Why use the 9mm Daemon in MW3?

Best 9mm Daemon loadout in MW3
This build aims to improve the less impressive stats while maintaining the 9mm Daemon’s fantastic accuracy, mobility, handling and recoil control. This means we should draw special attention to improving the gun’s overall damage and fire rate within close combat scenarios.
Rear Grip: Magwell Grip
We’ve chosen theMagwell Gripas the best from the bunch as it has no clear negatives and will up the accuracy of the gun even more - handy for finisher shots where your primary weapon may fail.
Ammunition: 9MM Overpressured +P
The9MM Overpressured +Pammo is key for this build as it adds the highest amount of damage from other options and can inflict increased flinch on targets, leaving them open to follow-up attacks which can help you secure the kill.
Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
We’ve opted for the1MW Pistol Laser, which will further increase accuracy, recoil control and the handling stats of the gun, making it feel smoother than ever and ready to help when you find yourself in a pinch.
Trigger Action: Rapid 30 Trigger
Thanks to the insane amount of accuracy and handling this gun now has, we can afford to take a little dip with theRapid 30 Triggerattachment. The flip side to this is a substantial fire rate increase, which should help in high-pressure situations where you need to switch over to close combat and fire a few shots in succession.
Muzzle: Hole Punch Breacher
To round off the loadout, we’ve added theHole Punch Breachermuzzle for the damage boost, the main stat that needed a little help. The flip side to this is a slight dip in handling, but it should be minimal enough to not notice, especially given the 9mm Daemon’s impressive starting stats.

Best 9mm Daemon alternatives in Modern Warfare 3
FTAC Siege, Renetti.
