In this episode we're covering the MPL.

It's a fully automatic weapon, unlocked at level 35.

The MPL, or 'Maschinenpistol Lang', originates from West Germany, where the weapon was designed and produced between 1963 and 1985.

The weapon was produced by Walther arms, a company perhaps best known for their handguns - notably the P38, as used by Germany in the Second World War - and James Bond's iconic Walther PPK.

The MPL was Walther's only attempt at a sub-machine gun - along with the MPK variant, with a shorter barrel.

The Walther MP variants saw some use in their native German market, principally by police forces and some naval units.

The Mexican Navy would also adopt the weapon, although beyond this the MPL and MPK would see little commercial success.

The MPL fires the NATO standard 9-by-19 millimetre cartridge, like most western sub-machine guns of its era.

Magazines are of a standard box-type configuration, with the standard capacity being 32 rounds.

The MPL is a low damage SMG, typically killing in 4 shots up close, and 5 at a distance.

Like most of the low-damage SMGs, it makes up for this through an elevated rate of fire - at 937.5 rounds per minute.

Recoil is moderate - not as severe as weapons such as the Uzi, but is slightly less controllable than say, the Spectre or MAC-11.

For the ranges SMGs are typically effective at, however - the MPL is very controllable.

Aim time is a little slower than most SMGs, with the MPL aiming as slowly as an assault rifle, at 250 milliseconds.

Reloads are pretty quick however, at 2.25 seconds - faster than most weapons in its class.

The MPL excels on offence, with lightweight handling characteristics, high capacity magazines - and a devastating rate of fire.

In closer quarters, few weapons are as flexible - and the MPL remains effective at middle distances, too.

At a longer range you will find yourself at a disadvantage, however - as the lower damage and moderate recoil will make life more difficult for you when facing opponents with assault rifles.

Avoid the open, and remain light on your feet, however - and you can press your close-range advantage.

With a fast pace of play you'll be the first to the fight - and will often emerge victorious, thanks to the furious lead-spewing capability of this weapon.

Keep up this pressure, and there's no doubt - with the MPL... you'll give 'em hell.
