A submachine gun is an automatic firearm designed to fire a pistol cartridge. They combine the fire rate of a machine gun with the control and power of a pistol cartridge. Most submachine guns are smaller than standard rifles.

All weapons are scored based on five common factors shared by all weapons. The scores are then averaged, resulting in the final overall score for the weapon. For a more in-depth review of how we score weapons, please refer to ourscoring chart.

All weapons are scored within their own category. Please do not compare a Primary weapon to a Secondary or vice versa.
