Speed (Weapon Proficiency)

Speed is a Weapon Proficiency in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
==Overview==
Speed Proficiency increases the player's speed by 10%. It is only available for Sniper Rifles, Light Machine Guns, and the Riot Shield. The normal run speed for weapons are:
*Sniper Rifles:
**90% (MSR, L118A, Dragunov)
**80% (AS50, Barrett .50cal, RSASS)
*LMGs: 80%
*Riot Shield: 80%
The Speed proficiency is an interesting choice that has two different, but useful, applications. For the lighter sniper rifles, the Speed proficiency highly facilitates more aggressive playstyles and especially quickscoping, as it allows players to get to favorable positions much more quickly, allowing the user to engage in more firefights more often. On the other hand, for heavier sniper rifles, the LMGs, and the Riot Shield, the Speed Proficiency can be very valuable to reduce the movement speed penalty that these weapons provide. As this movement speed penalty also carries over to the user's secondary weapons, Speed will allow the user to move faster in all situations, not just when carrying the affected weapon.
