	RPS-Squared: [A.3.2] Night's Edge Weapons (Submachineguns) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The submachinegun is a weapon that fires pistol caliber rounds and is capable of burst or full-auto fire.
		Submachineguns are eminently more concealable than auto rifles, but possess greater range than pistols.
		Smaller submachineguns often lack a good gripping surface for the second hand to hold on to, while longer ones tend to benefit from two-hand use much more.

	Minister of Justice and Customs - 22 July 2004 - Submachineguns, parts seized in Victoria after five-month joint probe
		Three Owen submachineguns and parts to make another six similar weapons have been seized in raids in Victoria by Commonwealth and State law enforcement agencies, the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Chris Ellison, said today.
		Parts to assemble a further six replica Owen guns were also seized from a property in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, where the prohibited weapons and parts were being manufactured.
		It was the first Australian-designed submachinegun, invented by Lieutenant E. Owen of the Australian Army and put into production in November 1941.

	Technology: Military
		Submachineguns generally use pistol ammunition and are similarly small and portable, but are capable of fully automatic fire and generally a bit more accurate than pistols.
		Assault rifles are a compromise between the portability of a submachinegun and the firepower of a large rifle.
		The primary differences are the energy output, accuracy, and energy supplies Pistols can be anywhere from the size of a normal pistol to a submachinegun, rifles are typically equivalent to assault rifles, and heavy weapons are similar to machineguns in bulk and function.

	Russian Submachineguns
		Variously referred to by the Russians as a "modular submachinegun" and a "weapons complex," it may fire several different types of ammunition with little modification, and can mount a wide variety of Western, Russian, and Chinese-made silencers, suppressors, flash suppressors and muzzle brakes, optical and night vision scopes, laser aiming modules, and tactical lights.
		The design for the original submachinegun that became the KEDR originated in the early 1970s, but both the design that became the KEDR and the competing design (designed by Afanasyev) were limited by the quality of ammunition available in the Soviet Union at the time, and both were shelved.
		This PP-90M1 is a compact submachinegun introduced in 2001 built primarily for use by special operations both of Russia and for export to the special operations units of other countries.

	FINNISH ARMY 1918 - 1945: MACHINEPISTOLS PART 2
		Early Soviet submachinegun prototype was Tokarev M/1927 chambered for modified 7.62 mm Nagant revolver cartridge.
		PPSh-41 was one of the two captured Soviet submachineguns that were considered to be modified for 9 mm x 19 ammunition and Finnish magazines around 1942 - 1943, but that project didn't go beyond prototype-stage, as manufacturing of domestic M/44 submachineguns was considered as better alternative.
		After WW2 the remaining MKMS submachineguns were warehoused until remaining 7,65-mm weapons were declared obsolete and sold to abroad in 1960, the remaining 9-mm MKMS were kept warehoused until being declared obsolete, deactivated and sold to military personnel in early 1970's.

		Notes: Despite the resemblance, this is not merely a small version of the British Sterling, but is in fact an independent development of the same company that makes the CETME series of weapons.
		Notes: Standard Spanish submachinegun until replaced by the Z-84, the Z-70 can still be found in large numbers.
		Twilight 2000 Notes: As this weapon was far simpler to build than Star’s earlier submachineguns or many assault rifles, Spain continued its manufacture during and after the Twilight War.

		The original MP/18-I submachinegun had a weak point in form of magazines, which were far from ideal: It used so-called snail-drum magazines, which Tatarek and Von Benkö had originally developed for artillery version of Parabellum P-08 pistol).
		Submachineguns that this factory was to manufacture under license were exact copies of Swiss Bergmann M/20.
		Lindelöf version of Bergmann submachinegun when compared to the Swiss one was not such a high quality and its magazines were not interchangeable, but otherwise the weapons were identical.

	Spent Casings No. 5 : Stunt Suit Shirow
		Submachineguns use handgun ammunition, however with longer barrels and shoulder stocks the velocity and accuracy are increased, and effective ranges can reach to 100 or 150 yards when aimed carefully.
		Submachineguns come in all sizes, from the pistol-sized Glock 18/Beretta 93s, to the larger (and legendary) H&K MP5 series, and even to the relatively enormous Thompson 1927, the first SMG.
		Tactically, SMGs are used when you know you will be going into combat, like a SWAT unit or VIP bodyguards, their higher firepower than typical handguns being a large plus.

	Danish Submachineguns
		Notes: This weapon was originally developed by Husqvarna of Sweden during World War 2 to fulfill the requirement for a submachinegun that eventually went to the Carl Gustav M-45.
		In 1947, the Danes let it be known they were looking for a new submachinegun, and Husqvarna sold the rights to them.
		The Danish variants include the M/45, one of the last wooden-stocked submachineguns to be built in large numbers; it had a tendency for barrel overheating and weakening, and was sold only in small numbers to some Central American countries.

	'PDW' SMGs
		Some submachineguns (SMG) were named “PDW”, misunderstood as “PDW” or models that are interesting as inspiration for PDW design.
		Therefore, it’s rather a submachinegun that was optimised for small dimensions and good single-shot accuracy at short distances than a PDW that could penetrate soft body armour (except the lightest ones that shall only protect against fragments).
		It was used as commando SMG and in a military self-defence role by the Polish military.

		Effectiveness - The submachinegun is intended for very close range combat and is considered by S.W.A.T. teams to be ideal as an entry weapon.
		Of these only the 9mm Parabellum, 10mm, and.40 SandW are in widespread use today as a SMG caliber therefore any submachinegun cambered for the 9mm is a good choice.
		Also a number of SMGs chambered in.45 ACP, most notably the Thompson submachinegun, were once part of US military/law enforcement arsenals.

		I still believe that the Submachinegun has a place on the modern battle-field for those interested in self-defence of their position or assets such as mortar crews and vehicle crews.
		Many forget that when a submachinegun like the Sterling is fired on single shot it can be quite accurate, and like this it can be treated as a rather large pistol.
		This Israeli submachinegun is even used by the Germans used it as the MP2, which is a real testiment to this fine weapon.

	Best Submachineguns That Never Were
		Merc 2000 Notes: There is some limited use of the 208 (known in the Merc 2000 timeline as the Type 08 submachinegun) by a couple of Chinese warlords’ forces, but the primary users of the 208 are the troops of the Myanmar Army.
		It is a shot-barreled submachinegun designed to be used in one hand or fired two-handed like a large pistol, though a folding wire stock may also be attached to the weapon.

	Cybershooters General Information
		Some machineguns use the expanding gases to cycle the action instead, usually through a gas port in the barrel which allows the gases to bear against a gas piston attached to the bolt.
		Instead they simply use the energy of the fired round to cycle the action automatically for the next shot, but are designed so that the operator of the firearm must deliberately pull the trigger for each shot to be fired.
		Many assault rifles and submachineguns have a selector switch so that they can function both as machineguns and also semi-automatically.

		Silenced weapons will prove much more effective in your effort to remain stealthy and submachineguns are vital to mowing down multiple opponents.
		As with most submachineguns, fire in short, controlled bursts, so you don't waste too much ammunition - a fast rate of fire means it's easy to waste ammunition if you're inaccurate.
		The Gordon submachinegun is another excellent weapon to fall back on if you're up against multiple opponents.

		Indeed these submachineguns were like their predecessors, the MP18 and the MP28, recoilloaders and used the classic 9mm Parabellum round, but the art of construction, which was at the outset designed on a cheap massproduction, was accomplished very consequential for the first time.
		One abadoned on wood and the MP38 was the first submachinegun, that had instead of an complex woodbutt an fold-away shoulderbacking and a case made out of ironsheeting.
		Autumn of 1942 Finnish Armed forces finally had all the submachineguns needed according their TOandE, but Suomi M/31 had proved so effective that at that point committee led by General Heinricks went ahead and decided to recommend adding 2nd submachinegun to all Rifle Squads as soon as possible.

		And Submachineguns "cannot" be fired in one hand.
		A submachinegun almost always has less recoil than a pistol of the same caliber though due to the increased mass of the weapon housing versus a pistol of the same caliber.
		So it would be easier to handle the recoil of a submachinegun than a pistol.

		While UN officials claim they had an okay and that the guns were legally acquired, that’s not the story from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
		While diplomatic issues may complicate the investigation, some issues are clear, among them being the fact that the US government does not consider the UN security service a “law enforcement organization.” Because of that, possession of automatic firearms by this security group is not permitted.
		Apparently, the MP5 submachineguns are not the only interesting firearms in the possession of UN security staffers.

		Consider the idea of giving the infantry automatic weapons (what we now call "assault rifles.") The Germans were the first to do this, noting that machine-guns were the most lethal weapon the grunts had.
		By the time World War II rolled around, the Germans had a lot more submachineguns, but most of the infantry were still equipped with bolt-action rifles.
		The Russians, however, gave their troops a lot more submachineguns, and the Germans noticed the impact of entire units of submachinegun armed Russians attacking or defending.

	JS 9mm SMG
		Comment by Pierangelo Tendas The JS Submachineguns system is the new short weapons cache engineered by the notorious LABORATORY 231 (People's Liberation Army's Small Arms Development Group), and manufactured by NORINCO, North China Industries Corporation.
		This submachinegun can take any world-manufactured.9x19mm-Parabellum round, but is optimized for the armor-piercing DAP-92 cartridge, this being by itself a Chinese copy of the Russian.9x19mm-Parabellum PBP ammo developed for the GSh-18 pistol (the Russian PBP and Chinese DAP-92 cartridges take their special armor-piercing capabilities not only from their specially conceived bullet, as described by Mr.
		Those submachineguns have about 70% parts interchangeability with the QBZ-95 weapons system, and are normally used as suppressed weapons (this points out their SPECOPS uses purpose), but the suppressor can be detached if needed, the SMG will work flawlessly without it.

		Okay, my information is years out of date, so grains of salt all around -- but there was a point at which I was working as a youth counselor in LA where the LAPD told us that it was easier for some gangs to get assault rifles than some types of handguns or SMGs.
		Maybe the Fireborn creators saw similar reports, or did it to try and simulate the feeling of their near-future London where you can get big obvious guns more easily — but the cost is having a big obvious gun.
		SMGs weren't made to be able to out shoot assault rifles, after all, they were mde to be useful in situations where assualt rifles were limited.

		During WW2, many SVT, Mosin, and submachinegun "emergency pattern" slings were made that used leather tie thongs at each end instead of buckles.
		The Russians made several patterns of slings for each of their weapons during WW2, and these seem to have been used not only on the rifles or submachineguns they were intended for, but on all the other types of weapons also.
		I guess that when you're marching through the snow to face an SS Panzer Division, it doesn't really matter whether you are carrying your rifle with a Mosin, SVT, or PPSH sling, as long as you have one.
