==History==
==Strategy==

*The Submachine Gun can be very good at destroying builds, as it has a high DPS, good magazine size and does not lose Structure Damage at range.

== Trivia ==
* Submachine Gun has had a confusing life as a weapon in Battle Royale:
**Before its release in Season 5, the Submachine Gun had existed before in Seasons 0-2, which was technically a separate weapon, but was vaulted after that.
**Then before v5.00 it was added back as Submachine Gun PDW with an old P90 Icon.
***Description: Pistol: Machine Pistol. Fires at a very high rate, dealing great damage while consuming a lot of ammo. Good for run-and-gun combat, and accurate enough to fight at mid range when fired in short bursts.
**Then in later seasons, the Compact SMG was added, which served as the and versions of the Submachine Gun, but was still a different weapon.
**Finally in Update v13.20, the Compact SMG was vaulted, the and versions of the Submachine Gun were added with the statistics of the Compact SMG given to them, in order to make them a single weapon.
* and Submachine Guns resemble the FN P90 FN P90 on Wikipedia.. 
**The P90 model itself differs drastically from its real life counterpart. As the magazine, receiver and carry handle have been moved more forward from the bolt, leaving the stock to be very short as a result. With this a foregrip was added to use up the newly added space.
*, and Submachine Guns resemble the MP5 MP5 on Wikipedia..
* In Chapter 4: Season 3, the Submachine Gun received a new firing sound, this was most likely due to a copyright issue with the original sound.
