==Trivia==
*The Machine SMG was in the files for 3 seasons, or roughly 3 months before it was released to the game. It was in a fully functional state but only released in Chapter 3: Season 1.
*The Machine SMG is modeled after the Israeli UZI, specifically the Mini version.
*It had been suggested/teased multiple times for its addition: 
** The weapon was added to Creative mode in Chapter 3, but removed shortly after.
** The promo video for the Pizza Party Consumable also showed the Machine SMG.
**A Challenge in Week 12 of Chapter 3: Season 1 has "Deal damage with a Machine Pistol."
*When the Machine SMG officially arrived, the official Fortnite page post made several jokes about its various unofficial inclusions (examples: The Machine Pistol finally arrives… officially / Say hello to the Machine Pistol! Seriously this time.
*Confusion used to exist between this gun and the Machine Pistol as the weapons bore many similarities. Both weapons:
**Had the same name
**Are classed as Submachine Guns.
**Both modelled after real life machine pistols.
**Have a similar function and statistics. The Machine SMG also frequently appears in the Unvaulted LTM replacing the Machine Pistol.
*The Machine SMG was renamed from Machine Pistol to Machine SMG as it is not a Pistol in-game.
**However, the naming does not make any sense, as a Machine Pistol is a legitimate class of weapons, but a Machine SMG is not.
**The renaming is possibly because its former name (Machine Pistol) would be misleading when it comes to pistol-based Augments such as Pistol Amp.
