Submachine gun

CSO

SMG (Sub Machine Gun) is an automatic carbine designed to fire pistol cartridges. It combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the cartridge of a pistol. The submachine gun was invented during World War I (1914-1918) but the apex of its use was during World War II (1939-1945) when millions of the weapon type were manufactured. Today, the submachine guns have been replaced by the assault rifles for military use but still in use for close quarter battle and by law enforcement.

For the PP-19 side, the weapon is $1000 more cheaper, have an higher damage(+1), lower recoil(-3%), lighter(-2%), higher mag size(+20), and a faster reloading time(-0.5s). And for the PP-2000 side, we have two perceptive differences, a better accuracy(+3%), and a better ROF(+1%).

Now for the differences, on the Eternity side, we got more damage to zombies(+5/121), has two stages of charged attacks(When firing after charging in the second stage, a post-storm occurs that blows away all nearby enemies. Post-storm does not do physical damage.), the "post-storm" has a very high knockback, and have a more damage at second stage charged on B mode. On the Infinity side, we only got a higher damage at first stage charge on B mode in zombie modes. (Note: One advantage of Infinity Laser Fist was the "availabillity", the Infinity was much more "easy" to get, because it had been in the game longer, and it was on basicly all Epic Weapons event as a "minor" prize, but now both of the weapons appears on Epic Decoders and Fragments Shops)

Trivia[]

TMP and MAC-10 are machine pistols while P90 and MP7A1 are personal defense weapons instead of submachine gun.
K1A uses 5.56mm NATO which is a rifle cartridge.
Some of submachine gun's view models are aligned improperly for hands animation after the transition of last frame for reloading sequence to the idle sequence. This occurs to most of "classic" submachine gun such as UMP45, P90, TMP, MP5.
So far, the MP5 has the largest variants in submachine gun category.
