“	A dataDyne classic, and a bestseller, this sub-machine gun boasts a 32 rnd mag and a special feature - the ability to designate and lock on to targets in the line of sight. It turns an average marksman into an excellent one, provided he or she is clever enough to operate the gun. Average fire rate: 900 RPM.	”

The CMP-150, often abbreviated "CMP", is a submachine gun produced by the dataDyne Corporation, and sees widespread usage by its combat personnel. It is a classic by weapon standards, and has been used by other organizations since its adoption prior to 2020.

Overview

The CMP-150 is a fully-automatic, magazine-fed, dual-wieldable submachine gun. The magazine holds 32 rounds, although earlier versions held only 24 rounds. It has a fast rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute. The CMP-150 is the top selling weapon of dataDyne, a position it has held since 2021. The Lock-On feature that some models provide appeal to the more inexperienced personnel. The hologram featured on certain models also increases its usability. In Perfect Dark: Second Front, the battery life of the hologram was limited due to the constraints it put on the power.

Usage

The CMP-150 is the standard issue of dataDyne's security forces, including the ones stationed on the Trinity Research Platform. Members of the security forces of the G5 Corporation in Chicago also used this weapon. Joanna Dark also used the CMP-150 during her extraction of Benjamin Able, and her escape from dataDyne security forces in Second Front. The hologram feature on the weapon aided greatly when she used it.

The CMP-150 is one of the selectable starting weapons in the Onslaught mode of Perfect Dark Zero. The high rate of fire and incredibly accuracy of the weapon has led to a high usage among players in the game's Dark Ops mode. Its efficiency is increased when wielded in pairs.

Advantages

The CMP is a fully automatic SMG with a very fast rate of fire, making it an excellent suppressive fire weapon. It is lightweight enough to be used with one hand, making it a solid part of any dual wielding combination. The weapon has a high accuracy profile without much recoil, and some models possess a Follow Lock-On feature, which will track any target and follow it no matter how far it may stray from the crosshairs. Alternatively, some models possess the technology to create holographic projections, creating a replica of the user. This replica is capable of mimicking the movement and appearance of the user, and can be used to draw enemy fire.

Disadvantages

While the fast rate of fire can be looked at as an advantage, the CMP burns through ammo rather quickly, and it's relatively lengthy reload time discourages prolonged fire. The individual rounds also don't do much damage, and have little effect on armored foes. Furthermore, the hologram feature will slow the user down to a walking speed when in use, and while it doesn't reduce the accuracy of the weapon, it becomes much harder to aim while using the hologram projector.
