Weapon Buffs in new "hotfix"

It looks like COD has taken that are used the least and have buffed them up a bit to make them more appealing. This sounds cool, as normally they just Neft the most popular ones. I'm anxious to try out the upgraded M16, as it has always been my weapon of choice and I like the 3-round burst weapons.

Update: The weapon re-balance is a hotfix, so you will not be prompted to download any updates.

The most recent MW3 Title Update delivers great news for SMG and assault rifle classes. A total of six guns have had their effectiveness improved in some way, detailed below:

FAD = Increased range. Increased damage.
M16A4 = Increased damage. Increased fire rate.
AK-47 = Reduced kick
UMP45 = Increased damage
MP5 = Increased fire rate
PM9 = Reduced kick.

If you've been aching to experiment with new weapons, this is the perfect chance to pick one of the above and start going to town. If you're already using one, consider how you might change up your attachments or proficiencies. Try replacing kick with focus on the AK-47, or maybe replace rapid fire on the MP5 with a red dot sight. Keep experimenting and you might just find your next favorite class!
