Sub-Machine guns (SMG)

Sub-machine guns are medium-sized, concealed weapons. Their size
prevents you from carrying more than 2 concealed at a time.
They fire a lot more bullets that any of the other
weapons (except the minigun), but they are not
as precise.

The high rate of fire can be a drawback

if you do not carry enough ammunition.
