How do you unlock the FMG9?

The FMG9 is available once Create-a-Class opens at Level 4 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011). It is a default 36-round fully automatic machine pistol. It supplies close-range emergency fire, but sustained use quickly turns a backup magazine into a reload. It does not take camo.
