Modern Warfare 3 has hundreds of attachments (with many being virtual lookalikes that essentially do the same thing slightly differently), which makes building guns an incredibly confusing process! Looking up class setups online can be clouded by tons of clickbait and low-effort junk, so if you're looking for highly-researched and performance-tested class setups from an actual Call of Duty expert, you are in the right place! In this guide, we'll take a look at the best loadout and attachments for the HRM-9 on Small Maps, such as Shipment, Meat, Das Haus, and Stash House.
Best HRM-9 Build & Attachments
The relatively new HRM-9 immediately made its presence known across Warzone and Multiplayer with impressive performance on all fronts: low recoil, fast handling, great damage. An excellent, versatile option for small maps.
While this build isn't able to incorporate the highly-desirable Ironsights from an alternate barrel, the default Irons are good enough for small maps... if not a bit jumpy. Manage the bumpy opening kick, and this gun will perform well up close and at range. It uses the classic Stock & Underbarrel combination to greatly enhance strafe and mobility and minimal cost to recoil, and the mainstay Rear Grip & Muzzle both reduce recoil and add Firing Aim Stability.
- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Stock: Hatchet Light Stock
- Rear Grip: PCS-90 Assault Grip
- Magazine: 50-Round Drum
- Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop

Our Testing Process: What does "Mathematically Optimized" mean?
It means that I have personally conducted over 30 hours of dedicated testing across the entire MW2 & 3 attachment set, endlessly consulted high-quality external resources and databases, and tirelessly tested performance across separate attachment combinations to produce what I believe to be the optimal build of a weapon for a specific purpose. Weapons are carefully crafted considering every possible detail - attempting to deliver the mathematically best possible performance in every category - mobility, handling, recoil, range, and accuracy.
With my builds, I believe you should see creative, never-before-seen uses of attachments that create incredible weapons. Do keep in mind that these weapons will not do the work for you - while they have all been precision-crafted to reduce horizontal recoil as much as possible, some of them still have quite noticeable vertical recoil, and it is on you to manage that vertical recoil correctly. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading about this build and every other build I have to offer on Fanbyte!
DISCLAIMER: If you test these in the Firing Range, please note that the Firing Range is currently glitched and shows more visual recoil and different damage performance than actually experienced in-game; it is best that you test these in a custom match or online.
