Submachine gun

An SMG, or Submachine Gun, is a compact firearm that fires pistol-caliber ammunition. It is characterized by its small size, lightweight, and high rate of fire. SMGs are designed for close-quarters combat and are typically used by military, law enforcement, and special forces units for tasks such as room clearing, urban warfare, and personal defence. 
SMGs are often select-fire weapons, meaning they can switch between semi-automatic (firing one round per trigger pull) and fully automatic (continuously firing while the trigger is held) modes. They typically feature a pistol grip, a shoulder stock (often collapsible or folding for compactness), and a relatively short barrel. Some SMGs also have the option to attach a suppressor for reduced noise signature. 
While SMGs lack the range and stopping power of carbines or rifles, they excel in close-range engagements due to their high rate of fire and ease of control. They are particularly effective in urban environments where maneuverability and compactness are essential.
