Rapid Fire SMG

The Rapid Fire SMG is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 2.
==Functionality==
The Rapid Fire SMG is a short range, high hip-fire accuracy weapon that fires faster than most other SMGs. Compared to the standard SMG, the Rapid Fire SMG has a higher DPS, but depletes its magazine around twice faster, making accuracy important. The weapon can function at longer ranges, but the damage falloff is high and the accuracy low.

==Trivia==
*The Rapid Fire SMG has a near identical model to the Burst SMG, the only difference is the Rapid Fire SMG is black with orange stripes and not full white.
**Both weapons are based on the real world American KRISS Vector SBR.
***Strangely the charging handle is on the right side rather than the left and also where the bullets eject.
*The Rapid Fire SMG is the only weapon which could have been sidegraded to two different weapons, as the distinction between the Compact and Regular Submachine Gun was complicated, allowing the rapid fire to be sidegraded to both.
**Furthermore, it is the only weapon which had a non-reversible sidegrade, as the Compact SMG could not be obtained from sidegrading a Rapid Fire SMG, but vice versa worked.
*Oddly enough, before Update v26.10, the Rapid Fire SMG had a smaller magazine size of 20, compared to the and variants of the Rapid Fire SMG, both of which have a capacity of 26.
**This was fixed in Update v26.10, buffing the Rapid Fire SMG's magazine size to 26.
