First up is the Recoil Booster and Jonsson 9″ RMK. These two attachments raise the SMG’s fire rate, ensuring you’re dishing out as much damage as possible. In fact, the H4 Blixen can quickly chew through ammunition, so we recommend using the 9mm 72 Round Mags.

The increase in fire rate does come at a cost to accuracy, but this weakness can be covered up by using the Karlsson Padded Coz and M1941 Hand Stop. Because of the added accuracy increase, the Slate Reflector is a perfect choice.
