Submachine Guns
What we categorize as a submachine gun
The Term Submachine Gun was brought to us by the same man who invented the very first submachine gun, John T. Thompson. Submachine guns are compact select fire guns designed to fire ammunition typically designed for pistols. They are a machine gun with far less firepower than your standard machine gun. These firearms have a shorter effective range and less penetrating power, but that reduction of power makes them easier to handle and the compact size makes them excellent in close quarters situations.
