Using overkill in MW3?

So I have been toying with the Overkill perk builds and wondering if anyone is using and how they are setting it up.... anyone?

To be honest, I can't find a reason to use overkill. The FMG9 akimbo is powerful enough the be a primary already. I end up using it more than my G36 or ACR half of the time. It's also really hard to not use Assassin in my second slot.

If I were to use it though, I would probably do something like a L118 with something like a Striker. First perk would be SoH, and third is fair game. Probably Dead Silence. 

Most of the guns are good enough at most ranges to not need another gun for a different range. If you have almost any assault rifle, I can't think of much of a reason to need another primary, unless just to dick around with. If akimbo machine pistols weren't so ridiculous, I may throw a smg as my second gun. Like I said in the beginning of my post, that FMG9 is absolute insanity.

I'm testing out some builds that are assault rifle/sniper rifle combos and a few that are like shotgun/assault rifle. Run through a building pull out my shotty...... get into the open whip out the assault...

On the larger maps Im trying out the assault/sniper combo as I seem to find myself with a good line of sight and missing at range.

Yeah the machine pistols are OP.
