==History==
Hammerforge began to produce these weapons, often referred to as submachine guns though designed as machine pistols; at some point in recent years. These were often preferred by Col'nesian Army units on defensive duties due to the high rate of fire. However, in response to interest on Mobius, the P-42 was quickly released onto the military markets, along with a number of Col'nesian optics and a silencer for covert ops, as well as an extended magazine. Little has really been said about the P-42; though one of the major purchasers, the Republic of Valaria; has been clear that these weapons are reliable and effective firearms. 
==Design & Attributes==
Weighing in at roughly three kilograms, and roughly forty centimeters in length, the P-42 Submachine Gun is a machine pistol with attitude. The factor that really makes the P-42 stand out is the extremely high rate of fire, making the small gun devastating in close quarters. However, the effective range for the firearm is, as expected, relatively short; with effective range without added optics stated at a measly 100m, short for a primary weapon other than a shotgun. 
In order to support the users and offer some level of variability, the gun possesses an overhead rail capable of taking any Hammerforge-produced optic attachment. Similarly; the barrel has the locks required for a silencer. Some of these weapons out there in the general market are highly customized and sought after; as aftermarket technicians have their way with these guns. However, even out of the box, the P-42 is effective.
