Community-reportedBase values from CODMunity's game data: community-reported and unverified, not published by Activision.
Sprint to fire speed is the time between ending a sprint and being able to fire, in milliseconds. It matters when you run into a fight: the shorter the time, the sooner the weapon fires after you stop sprinting. It is a separate stat from ADS speed, so a weapon can be quick at one and slow at the other.

Reading this stat
Many weapons share the same time, so the ranking has long ties and the best of a class is often a group of weapons. When a class has a tie at the top, use the other stats to choose. Attachments that cut this time are listed below with the weapons they were reported on. Read it with ADS speed for the other way into a fight, and with sprint speed for how fast you get there.
