Submachine Gun

This article is regarding Red Faction

The Submachine Gun is one of the 15 player weapons in Red Faction.

Description
Although it's a slightly larger, heavier, and less accurate weapon than the Pistol, the SMG is capable of fully automatic fire with both standard 12mm bulets as well as 5.56mm high velocity armor piercing bullets. During the game you'll often find this particular weapon being wielded by Ultor's elite guard who seem content on showering you with lead at close quarters while relying on their body armor to keep them safe from your counter attacks. The SMG secures its place in the arsenal by being a solid close range weapon somewhere between the Shotgun and the Assault Rifle. There are better choices for general warfare, but it's probably the best fallback weapon in there.
