The MPX8 is an SMG found in Crysis and Crysis Warhead. It is used by the KPA. Primarily intended as a personal defense and close-quarters weapon; its large 50-round magazine and close-range power range make it the ideal PDW/CQC weapon. The SMG first appears in the hands of KPA scouting parties. Later on, the weapon becomes part of the standard arsenal used by KPA forces on the island. The US Marines are not seen using the SMG in-game. A smaller submachine gun, the AY69, appears in Crysis Warhead.
