The HRM-9 SMG in Modern Warfare 3 is deadly thanks to its incredibly fast time to kill. Here’s the best HRM-9 loadout for MW3 with attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

The HRM-9 is an easy-to-use SMG with a blisteringly fast TTK in Modern Warfare 3. Opting for the HRM-9 will let you go toe to toe with some of the best guns in the game.

You’ll need the best attachments to take full advantage of this powerful Submachine Gun, so here’s the best HRM-9 loadout for MW3.

Best MW3 HRM-9 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Barrel: Princeps Long Barrel
  • Stock: Folding Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum

To start the best HRM-9 loadout for MW3, we recommend using the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider as it will boost your ability to tame the SMG’s aggressive kick. Next, the Princeps Long Barrel is the star of the show as it provides great damage and range while offering a clean iron sight similar to the fan-favorite Grau.

The Folding Stock and DR-6 Handstop provide some much-needed mobility and accuracy boosts. The DR-6 Handstop is one of my favorite speed-boosting attachments in MW3, and it suits SMG classes perfectly.

Finally, the 50 Round Drum ensures you can take down several enemies without having to reload.
