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. [3]
