MP5 has the least recoil of all the SMGs, best damage over all ranges (least loss of damage). One of the best ranges and most accurate of all SMGs. The PDW-R is an SMG that needs to be used in CQB although it does alright in Medium distance encounters. It does 20+ damage if in close range, nearly matching it with a lower assault rifle but you go anywhere past 40m you are probably going to severely decrease your damage over range. It's a generally nice weapon, and you won't need any more ammo if you have an ammo add-on but the recoil can be a pain. Just so long as you have the crosshair pointing in the right place, it will hit it. It's just a matter of countering the somewhat annoying recoil.
