i quite enjoy using the cm901 for both competitive play and trolling
discuss

It certainly isn't the best weapon, but it isn't awful either. In fact, my second nuke was with the CM901. (Yes, I realize it's called a moab but I prefer nuke.)

I do enjoy using the weapon, but I use everything, and I mean everything.

I'm actually very comfortable with the gun. It does have a lot of power, and if you can learn to manage the recoil, it isn't bad. Keep your engagements medium to far though. You will get beat every time up close. The low fire rate means it's going to get beat by pretty much every other automatic weapon in the game.

That's how it seems to work for me. Think about a distance that's about the length of half of the large pipe on Hardhat. If I get in an engagement with someone within that kind of distance (assuming things like connection and lag compensation are equal), I will usually lose if they have a gun that fires faster than mine. I've lost to L86 hipfire from that distance. Now I have pretty good accuracy (near 21 for most of my ARs and SMGs), so it's not like I'm missing shots.

The two things that probably play to my disadvantage are 1) I never run Quickdraw on my CM901. I use it in a high killstreak role. When I'm feeling an AC130 or Pavelow, the ACR and CM901 seem to work well for me. When I use this class, I'm normally running Hardline. 2) The CM901 kills in 3 bullets unless one is a headshot. Rarely will I worry about aiming for the head in CQC. Normally I'm just worried about putting shots on the guy. So normally it's 3 bullets.

Every other fully automatic assault rifle kills in 3 bullets up close and fires faster (except for the FAD, which takes 4 bullets. But it's time to kill up close us still equal to the CM901, due to the high rate of fire).

Further, every SMG and LMG can kills in 3 bullets up close and all have faster fire rates than the CM901 (except for the M60, which can kill in two bullets). Not surprisingly, all of thees weapons have a quick time to kill at close range than the CM901.

Maybe you are just getting lucky. I'm not sure how else to explain it. My personal experience and the stats seem to line up. But if you are getting kills up close with it, all the more power to you

it may just be the fact a always dropshot akimbo scrubs

For me this gun is cursed and blessed at the same time. Whenever I pick up the gun naked I go ham with it but afterwords I'll replicate the class. I'll try it for a while but I can never get close to how great I did the first game.

It's mid-tier for me.

I feel that I would rather use Type 95, ACR, Scar over it, but would prefer the CM901 over the M16, AK47, FAD.

Just my preferences. Not everybody may feel the same way. I really enjoyed it when I first started to play though. (In Black Ops, I was a fan of the Enfield at first, lol, which was an awful gun)

I've picked it up a few times and I had one great freakin game with one custom version, red dot and silencer, it felt like I was dropping fools super fast, but it seems kind of inconsistent.

It's not that great but I quite enjoy using it.
I generally just use it as a semi-auto pretty much, it works okay-ish.

But I'd rather have my sexy MK14.

It's a good gun, but the recoil really does throw me. Will have to give it some more lovin'

When I use an AR I normally use it only on Village, Bakaara and Interchange. So I need to use a weapon with a low damage drop off and the CM901 isn't really that good on long range fights.
5 hits to kill on long range ? Nah, I rather use the ACR and the Mk14, but it is obviously not a bad weapon. It is just weaker than the others in comparison.

I used to use this gun when I first started playing the game because I looked at a couple stats thinking it would be great when really it is just shit.

I'm at like 2,100 with it or something. I used it for quite a while and ADS'd the fuck out of people with stalker pro. My highest kill game came using it. I eventually got frustrated and went back to the M4.

I think the CM901 is a good gun, though i think all of the AR's except for the M16 are good guns.
It drops guys fast and has the best reload animation.

Honestly, I think the CM is a good gun if you know how to manage recoil which isn't that bad in my opinion. One problem I do have with it though is that the Iron Sights feel so awkward using it at first. Reloading time is great.

I'm surprised at how underused the gun is 0.o
I can hold my own using this gun most of the time

If you know how to use it, it is quite good. Obviously can't compete with the ACR, Type 95, G36C, SCAR-L, etc but it isn't the worst gun in the game either.

I got all 2,500 kills with it before they patched it, and I've barely used it after that, though.

Not sure if the stats reflect this, but it seems to kill at distance the best for me.

That gun holds one of my highest K/D spreads at 2.23.

It's an alright/good gun
Versatile weapon i would say . Not the best out there for sure though .

that was how it was with me with the type. i would pick it up and get 3 or 4 kills with it before i changed weapons. Then when i tried to actually have a type 95 class i would die. Maybe cus i was always rushing back then.
but about the cm901, I haven't actually used it since the under barrel attachment glitch(well i didn't think it was a glitch at the time) so im not sure but i do die from it from time to time.

Me and this gun have a love hate relationship. When i first got the gun i loved it and did awesome with it. But as i leveled and started to use other guns it was hard for me to get back into the rhythm of using it regularly.

It is an ok gun and im using this weapon on this prestige after reading Imperteuos Pandas advice about using a different gun per prestige upto 500 kills. One of the disadvantages i find with it though is how pretty much any other AR feels after i have used it. The recoil is so different that it takes me half a game to get used to using say a scar after i've changed class.
It is a good weapon for trolling but not half as good as the M16! i frikking love that gun. Great sound to it, look, and the reload animation is nearly as good as the Cm901 in fact, but also because its so shit its good.
