SMG

Overview
The SMG is an automatic weapon that shoots out small, fast bullets. It has a 30-round magazine and a decent firerate useful for taking out individuals at close range. The SMG suffers from heavy bullet drop, which means you need to aim accordingly if you want to win a fight a longer distance. Even if you can aim correctly, it's not recommended to fight at longer distances.

Player's opinion: Pros and Cons
+ Pros


 * Excellent fire rate with a 30-round mag.
 * Decent ballistic trajectory and a full-map range.
 * Decent reload time.
 * Enormous DPS assuming the whole magazine hits its target.

- Cons


 * Low damage per shot.
 * One of the weapons with the slowest projectile velocity, will mostly be outclassed by most other guns like Rifles and Miniguns.
 * The absurd fire rate can chew through your mag quickly and leave you vulnerable to attacks while you're reloading. Shots don't have to be picky, but have to be efficient to achieve a kill.
 * Like with all other bullet-based weapons, you're faced with the accuracy penalty problem: the accuracy is decreased if you shoot on move and even further on prone-move.

With the SMG

 * Engage fights at mid and close range. Do not try to fire at Rifle/AK47 users or Carbine users and especially Barrett users at open spaces. You have both your accuracy and damage per shot lower than them. Try to get close and personal, the SMG is not for clearing clumps of enemies.
 * When you're close enough, empty the mag and retreat if the target remains alive. The weapon works best at clamped spaces where your opponents have lesser space to hold on to.
 * Try to fire efficiently. Predict your opponent's direction of moving and release your enormous DPS on them, since the flaw that tied to your weapon is the short firing time. You may have a short reload, but only one second of reloading at the wrong time is enough for you to see a blood-red screen along with the text :"Killed by [player]".

Against the SMG

 * As stated above, the SMG's weakness is its accuracy. Pick a weapon with good accuracy and use your range to eliminate the opponent user.
 * Move around a lot and unpredictably. It's very easy for an inexperienced player to waste their mag and have to reload. Combined with low damage per shot and low accuracy, you have a very high chance of not dying from a SMG's attack.

Trivia

 * The SMG is the Heckler & Koch MP5. The in-game version includes all of its characteristics: high damage (due to the gun using 9mm ammunition), and a fast fire rate but low mag size.
 * In the upcoming training mode the SMG is considered "Tactical"
