Kiparis - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: / xboxahoy
Twitter: / xboxahoy
In this episode we're covering the Kiparis.
It's a fully automatic weapon, unlocked once you've purchased all of the other SMGs.
The OTs-02 Kiparis is a Russian weapon, originating from the former Soviet Union.
Its name translates from Russian as 'Cypress', in reference to the coniferous tree.
The weapon's design was first drafted in the early 1970s, but the first units did not enter service until 1991.
It was likely the carbine variants of the AK74 rifle that led to a reduced need for a new submachine gun - and it was only the fall of the Soviet Union that sparked a demand for compact police weapons in the 1990s.
It was for this reason that the Kiparis was resurrected, and saw introduction with the Russian police and Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1995.
A basic blowback design, the Kiparis is a simple yet efficient weapon: mainly a steel construction, with some plastic furniture, the weapon was also supplied with its own proprietary suppressor.
Eventually the weapon was displaced in favour of newer designs, such as the PP-2000: with greater use of synthetic materials and leanings toward a modern personal defense weapon design.
The Kiparis fires the squat Soviet 9mm cartridge, the 9-by-18 millimetre Makarov round.
Magazines are 20 rounds in capacity, or 30 with extended mags.
The Kiparis is a low damage SMG, dealing the same damage per shot as most of its peers, bar the MP5K, AK74u, and Skorpion.
That means it'll kill in 4 shots up close - or 5 at a distance.
One interesting trait of the Kiparis is its enhanced ability to penetrate cover: while most SMGs struggle to shoot through walls, the Kiparis will perform as well as an assault rifle, better cutting through concealment to meet your target.
Rate of fire is high - on par with most of the low-damage SMGs or the FAMAS, at 937.5 rounds per minute.
Recoil is moderately high however, thanks in part to this elevated rate of fire, and a lower centerspeed.
This means the Kiparis is less effective from a middle range out when compared to other SMGs - you're trading controllability for piercing power.
As well as assault rifle-grade penetration, the Kiparis also aims as slowly as the assault rifles, at 250 milliseconds.
Reloads are very quick, however - at a sprightly 2.1 seconds: useful, given the short magazine.
The Kiparis is an SMG with a unique ability to pierce cover to the same degree as an assault rifle.
This ability comes with the usual benefits of a high-mobility weapon, too: faster movement speed, an incredibly fast reload, and a superb rate of fire.
This ability is neutered somewhat with an elevated level of recoil: a direct trade off between penetration and controllability at range.
In addition, the short magazine mandates all-too-frequent reloads, and a limited starting supply: two traits that dictate much of your loadout, limiting strategy with this weapon.
Still, the Kiparis remains a usable close-quarter weapon, with clear sights and some worthwhile attributes.
With proper fire control it can be effective at most ranges, and while some of the SMGs may have the edge in performance overall, the piercing power of the Kiparis does come in useful every so often.
With arboreal appellation, from sapling to mighty Cypress, this buzzsaw-like SMG...
...will cut down your opponents with ease

I love how just about every gun in Black Ops was invented AFTER the game takes place.

ahoy, this is Xbox Hello.

[@asteroidrules]

There are two things I love about XboxAhoy guides. 1, he gives you some actual information about the gun itself, not just the game stats, real life info. 2, he doesn't tell you what gun to use, he tells you how to use a gun, a lot of guides tell you which weapons to use and where, xboxahoy tells you how to use every gun.

[@Ashweeeee87]

My husband got me into CoD because of your videos. I didn't know much about guns so I didn't understand how to play. Having all the different perks and attachments was really overwhelming,but after having them broken down and explained, I was able to improve and actually have fun playing. Thanks again.

[@ChristianTroyDaniel]

"In cases when your aim leaves much to be desired..." So, basically, all the time?

[@aClonedPickle]

I like how the final killcam manages to accurately represent how effective a ballistic knife would actually be.

[@JanuaryCorso]

Whenever I see a rate of fire like 937.5 RPM I just like to imagine it shooting half a bullet at the end. It makes no sense but I like to imagine and amuse myself. Alright?

[@gsp1175]

that's fine

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

It's a cyclic representation of the actual fire time in game, which is 64 milliseconds. Fire time is the actual amount of time the game engine waits before firing the weapon again.

I just found this guy this many years later after the great days of this game. Damn...I did however start playing black ops again recently and started to play where I left of. Prestige 5. Wow. Great game. Great videos dude.

[@mattyicicles1608]

its still alive and well on Xbox. however I noticed that on Xbox One it occasionally logs me out and crashes the game. other than that this game is still just as fun as in 2010... minus being a kid back then.

[@Iamoldenough92]

I'm trying the Kiparis now and I can't believe what I've been missing. It's actually pretty easy to use.

[@inferiorsinister]

I remember using this gun. It was actually decent. My playing style let me take full advantage of sub machine guns. This game especially. I loved all sub machine guns.

[@Aleca76]

the black ops 2 guides are gunna be so cool because theres so many create a class combinations that he will probably show us some awesome one we never knew of. and he'll teach about this future weapons origins

Rewatching these is making me nostalgic for BO1. Kipiris was my main gun back in the day. I had so much fun with it. I would run -kipiris fore grip and extended mags -crossbow -semtex -concussion -C4 -Scavenger -Warlord -tactical mask An SMG class built around pushing up slowly and steadily

[@mattyicicles1608]

favorite gun in BO1. this gun was so underrated .

[@pepperachu]

I loved this game and still play it to this day...this gun never did it for me all it had was AR aim assist and penetration but that wasn't enough...I even tried playing it like a AR using a stock and extended mags but nope...I even liked unused guns like the uzi but not this

[@mattyicicles1608]

pepperachu this gun requires extended mags first of all, and for me it was just a preference thing. the penetration is like a nice bonus to an average weapon. but for me this gun feels great, the sound is loud and has a “pop”, and learning the recoil was fun.

[@republicofsandles]

Your comittment to this series has been impressive.

[@kaptainyl1509]

This is a unpopular opinion but the kiparis is my favorite smg in bo1

I used Extended Mag & Grip with the Kiparis. It makes the gun more accurate, and has more bullets to it's name.

[@aaronkong8393]

This gun is good if you have really really good aim (like me)

[@comanderjimmy4198]

lol a cod player with good aim .............. PETA i found an indangered speciesnah m8 jk

[@julianlopez320]

comander jimmy Black ops 1 recoil can be heavy, altough most guns are easily controllable, Im just having fun coming back to bo1, it's been like 3 years of battlefield for me, I still play bf4 alot buy bo1 is getting up there, and I really appreciate the recoil, unlike in games like battlefield 3, and Hardline that have recoiless rifles, not to mention aimbot hipfire in bf1

[@interstellarlapisthecccp4946]

Probably the worst SMG out of all of them... maybe tied with the Uzi. It literally has no benefits; it doesn't kill fast, it has horrible recoil and sights and it's range is shitty. I don't really like the Skorpion or Mac 11 either but at least the Skorpion can be dual wielded and the MAC 11 is not so bad at close range if equipped with rapid fire. There is nothing you can do to make this gun good, it's shit in every scenario.

[@Theodiorr]

Nah.

[@Theodiorr]

Youre super wrong.

[@weakestlink20]

+TC TC Prove it. I see no purpose to the Kiparis when comparing it to the MAC-11.

[@mitchhammond3213]

Mac 11 Uzi Kiparis I wish the kiparis was good but it isn't. I want to like it and say it is good but it's not all 3 of these guns are horrible horrible

[@aaronkong8393]

I like it with grip

You make it look so good in the video

[@MrMega787]

aaaawwwww yeah! I've been looking forward to the G11 since the first episode of the weapon guide

[@JakeVS]

Great video as always :)

[@FoxHimura]

Almost two years since you began doing these. Must feel good to finally have 'em finished eh, Stuart?

[@RPGWizard96]

It's a very controllable gun with almost no recoil, and even less with a grip, making the gun extremely lethal at any range, and if you'd like bigger mags, replace sleight of hand with warlord and use extended mags with grip.

[@Niner876512]

this is the first video i've seen that has correct captions

[@TheRemster]

I love how the tomahawk is just barely about to hit him at the end.

[@MrCervantesent]

Love this series(BO) from XboxAhoy. It's so creative.

[@tribj001]

I actually love the kiparis, its iron sight is so good i always seem to get headshots. its literally my favourite smg in black ops!

[@seniorgrocco]

I really love Warlord with extended mags and grip. I dont mind the slower aim time

he already finished MW3, but those guides were exclusive for Elite. That's why his MW3 express was dropped. He was in the middle of BO when MW3 came out. Now he's actually finishing it. But to substitute the lack of MW3 content, he did Time to Kill and Weapons of Modern Warfare.

[@EsquireNapalm]

well, it does have a faster reload, and shorter damage/range. Also, there is a reduced magazine, so you will need to reload more frequently

Ohooh I cant wait for you to review the G-11.

[@mogoolvideos]

Good job Stu

[@Str8UpBustasGem]

hey stu, I was wondering, in black ops 2, when you do your weapon guides, will you set up classes in a traditional manner or will there be some classes where you'll put the gun on it's own and make the most out of the rest of the pick 10 system, you know like making pistol only classes and things like that? just wondering :) thanks for making brilliant videos by the way

[@taylormartin4346]

Definitely going to use this in my next match today.
