    right now if you have a dz rank of 75+ you can buy a 204 gear score vector from dz3 vendor if not then its open to debate as to which one is better, i always use vector, but the only reason behind that is because i kept getting crappy talent combo's with MP5 if i got a decent role on an MP5 then i wouldn't hesitate to switch over, even with extended mag vector can still catch you short due to magazine capacity.

    It's preference. LOL I'm a lousy shot so I need as many bullets as possible. Rolled an MP5 with Brutal, Deadly and Vicious. I can melt 2 or 3 AI with one mag.

    Generally, the Vector is a better burst BUT with a really small mag, while the MP5 will give you some better overall DPS, with almost double the size of a mag.
    Do bear in mind the RNG, as someone else said, you need to be sitting on a fairly good roll on both to be able to decide which one suits you best.

    As someone who has used all the SMG's:

    AUG > MP5 > Vector

    Vector or MP5? It's not that simple. A lot of things come into play when choosing... Like Play style, RNG, how good of a shot you are or aren't, ect. Vector has the DMG per shot, the AUG has the best range, the MP5 the biggest clip and fastest FR (Actually 2nd highest FR behind the MP7) and both the AUG and MP5 have decent stability and accuracy. Mind you this is with no mods just the gun itself.

    So what I did was get all the SMG's I could, went to the firing range in BoO and used all of them with out any mods and ignoring talents and DMG and picked the one I liked best. I then went and crafted as many as it took to get the rolls i wanted on the gun. If your wondering... I chose the AUG and rolled Deadly, Brutal, and Unforgiving.

    Purely depends how you play the Midas health regen is pretty damn great for character longevity, yes its a slight drop in dps but it seems to shoot forever compared to the other smg's I've used. I'd take staying alive over a second quicker kill.
