Modern Warfare 3 comes with a new batch of SMGs that dominate in close quarters and the WSP-9 is one of the best of the bunch. If you’re looking for the classic Uzi, check out the best WSP-9 loadout for MW3.
Following its November 10 launch, Modern Warfare 3’s meta is starting to take shape. While Assault Rifles like the Holger 556 and MCW have dominated early on, there are also some top tier SMGs that you won’t want to ignore.
When it comes to close-quarters maps, the WSP-9 SMG is a clear standout in the category. It may be difficult to tame, but thanks to a blistering fast fire rate, the weapon kills incredibly quickly.
Here’s the best MW3 WSP-9 loadout with attachments, Perks, and Equipment.
Best MW3 WSP-9 loadout attachments

The WSP-9 SMG is a menace in close quarters.
- Muzzle: Bruen Cubic Comp
- Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
- Ammunition: 9mm High Grain Rounds
- Magazine: 32 Round Mag
- Stock: WSP Factory Stock
To kick off the best WSP-9 loadout for Modern Warfare 3, you’ll want to equip the 32 Round Mag, since the standard magazine size simply does not offer enough bullets to take on more than one enemy at a time.
Then, we’ll focus on boosting the SMG’s mobility, with the WSP Factory Stock and FTAC MSP-98 Handstop increasing movement speed, ADS speed, and sprint speed, while the latter also increases vertical recoil control.
This brings us to our next goal of taming the weapon’s hefty kick. The best WSP-9 loadout uses the Bruen Cubic Comp to increase recoil control and get the fast-firing weapon under control. Meanwhile, the 9mm High Grain Rounds will increase bullet velocity and damage range, boosting the weapon’s versatility slightly.

The Infantry Vest and Commando Gloves also bring a lot to the table, with buffs to Tac Sprint and the ability to reload while sprinting. Then the Stim will allow you to heal up quickly as you engage one enemy after another, clearing pockets of space with your Semtex.
