A Submachinegun (3,000 grams loaded; Cr520; TL-5) is a small automatic weapon designed to fire pistol ammunition. [1]
Description (Specifications)
Magazines holding up to thirty cartridges are inserted into the weapon forward of the trigger guard or in the pistol grip, depending on the design. The gun fires four rounds per pull of the trigger. Replacement of an empty magazine requires a minute or so.
Weapon Characteristics
Submachinegun ammunition (but not magazines) is interchangeable with automatic pistol ammunition. Most submachineguns are equipped with slings to allow ease of carrying. [2]
History & Background (Dossier)
The “Submachinegun” is a development of the Automatic Pistol to fill a role similar to the earlier Carbine. It is a larger pistol-like weapon, designed to project more bullets downrange, more accurately than the typical pistol, which has a shorter barrel. Accuracy for many submachineguns is not great compared to other firearms. They are, however, great for clearing rooms and projecting large amounts of firepower at a short range within confined spaces such as often occurs in urban combat environments.
