My Background as a Call of Duty Expert

With over 10 years of experience dominating Call of Duty titles and 5000+ hours played in the franchise, I‘ve truly mastered the art of high-skill weapon guides. As a long-time content creator focusing on FPS games, I‘ve helped thousands of players take their skills to the next level.

Today I want to share my proven blueprint for unlocking and destroying opponents with the lightning-fast Fennec 45 SMG, Modern Warfare 2‘s successor to the infamous Vector.

Let‘s dig into the stats and capabilities that make this pocket rocket so uniquely lethal!

Key Fennec 45 Stats and Attributes

As a seasoned COD veteran, crunching the numbers on new weapons unlocks is second nature. The Fennec 45 breaks down as follows:

Damage Profile:

  • Shots to kill: 4-8 bullets
  • Damage per bullet: 25-16 depending on range
  • Default magazine size: 12 rounds
  • RPM: approx 1150!
  • Base ADS time: 150ms (with attachments down to 126ms)

Mobility:

  • Movement speed: 97%
  • ADS movement speed: 51%
  • Sprint to fire time: 266ms

Recoil Control:

  • Predictable but heavy vertical climb
  • Recoil stabilization of only 18%

Effective Range:

  • Max 17 meters before significant TTK drop-off

Handling:

  • Fast initial ADS time for an SMG
  • Quick swap and sprint out times
  • Con: Small hipfire spread by default

Key Pros

  • Extreme fire rate for fastest up close TTK
  • Improved ADS and sprint-out time versus MW2 SMG average
  • Strong mobility for highly aggressive playstyle

Cons

  • Severe vertical recoil requiring control
  • Low effective range demands picking battles wisely
  • Tiny 12 round magazine empties almost instantly

As you can see, the Fennec rewards brazen attackers who can leverage its lightning pace within 17 meters. But handling recoil and ammo requires skill – precisely why mastering this weapon is so rewarding!

Why Choose the Fennec?

Veteran players choose the Fennec 45 for its uniquely rapid pace of play. Trading range for pure fire rate yields significantly faster times-to-kill up close than any other weapon.

In my experience, no other gun quite compares to wiping out 3 distracted enemies in the blink of an eye thanks to the Fennec‘s extreme bullet hose potential. For aggressive runners and gunners who relish CQB chaos, look no further!

How the Fennec Compares to Other MW2 SMGs

Vs. Lachmann Sub

The Lachmann Sub provides versatile mid-range skirmishing on par with MW2‘s MP5. But in close spaces, the Fennec‘s blistering 1150 RPM and faster ADS time secure quick kills before the Sub can react.

Vs. Vaznev-9K

While the Vaznev-9K SMG boasts impressive handling, its fire rate caps out at 900 RPM – simply no match for the Fennec spewing nearly 100 more bullets per minute!

Vs. Basilisk

Sure the Basilisk has solid mid-range capability thanks to low recoil. But its poor handling cannot unleash bullets nearly as quickly as the finely tuned Fennec 45.

As you can see, no other SMG compares to the Fennec in hyper-CQB skirmishes within 20 meters. Learn to play to its strengths and this deadly machine surpasses all rivals!
