	Submachine gun Summary
		A submachine gun is a firearm that combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the ammunition of a pistol, and is usually between the two in weight and size.
		Submachine guns lend themselves to moderation with suppressors, particularly so in cases where the weapon is loaded with subsonic ammunition.
		Prominent recent examples of the submachine gun are the Israel Military Industries Uzi submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch MP5 series, the Ingram MAC-10, the Skorpion, the Sterling and the FN P90 (itself part of a new generation of 'personal defence weapons', firing cartridges intermediate in power between a pistol and assault rifle round).

		The Thompson submachine guns had been in development at approximately the same time as the Bergman and Beretta, but development was put on hold in 1917, when the US and the weapon's designer (Thompson) entered the war.
		Prominent recent examples of the submachine gun are the Israel Military Industries Uzi submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch MP5 series, the Ingram MAC-10, the Skorpion, the Sterling and the FN P90 (itself part of a new generation of 'personal defence weapons', firing cartridges intermediate in power between a pistol and assault rifle round).
		Certain submachine guns have also been available in specially-modified semi-automatic form, with non-removable 16 inch (406 mm) barrels and receivers modified so as to prevent conversion into a fully-automatic firearm; in this case, the submachine guns are treated as rifles, and are not subject to further regulations beyond those required for ownership of a rifle.

	UZI Talk - Law Enforcement and the UZI
		This submachine gun was called the MCEM 2 and was never officially adopted because of its high rate of fire, but it was probably the first to use an over-hanging bolt and a magazine located in the pistol grip.
		Submachine guns with their lower velocity projectiles (often at or near the speed of sound) are easier to silence with muzzle suppressors for special operations.
		But, competitive submachine guns that feature closed bolt designs are becoming extremely popular because they operate in a manner almost identical to conventional semi-auto carbines, and they feature improved first shot accuracy because their operators don't have to fight the momentum from a large mass of metal moving forward within the receiver.

	National Survival Games Splatmaster Rapide Review / Reviews - pbreview.com
		First let me warn anyone looking to buy these guns: Their time has gone, owning one should only be out of novelty as these guns are far obsolete and past their prime, it is simply not practical to play with them anymore.
		The biggest complaint back in it's day was that the gun easily double-fed and often times the trigger would 'jam' where a ball wasn't sitting perfectly in the breech, or double fed, and when you pulled the trigger all the way, the bolt would slice your ball in half, shooting out a mess of paint.
		The composite guns (solid green, solid fl) seem immune to any kind of abuse, while the limited see-through (clear) were prone to stress cracking after only a few years of play.

		Also, the row of holes just above the folding stock on the left side of the gun received no grips, presumably this is because of the bayonet attachment stub that occupies the third hole from the front in this row.
		The front end of the strip was bent and inserted into the rear most vent hole on the top of the gun thus requiring no rivet or other attachment.
		On some of the guns there are magazines with the real bottom plate covering the exposed end.

	Carbine - FirearmWiki
		A selective-fire weapon was developed to fire this shorter cartridge, eventually resulting in the Sturmgewehr 44, literally "Storm Gun", later translated as "assault rifle".
		Another class of carbine is a semi-automatic version of a submachine gun, with an extended barrel, just over 16 inches (406 mm) long, which will escape ban by some "assault weapon" legislation.
		These are a popular compromise for (American) shooters who would like to own a submachine gun but cannot due to local restrictions or the prohibitive cost of buying a civilian legal submachine gun (since the end of the Clinton assault weapons ban, this has become less prohibitive).
