	The '''submachine gun''' is an upgrade from the [[pistol]]. It fires the same ammunition types and deals the same damage as the pistol, but has a much higher rate of fire. This same type of weapon is installed in the [[car]] and [[tank]]; the car and tank's version of the submachine gun fires +5 rounds per second and has +2 range compared to the handheld one. This weapon can easily handle moderate waves of small biters, even with [[Firearm magazine\|regular ammunition]], but destroying [[Nests\|nests]] efficiently requires damage upgrades or the more expensive [[Piercing rounds magazine\|piercing round]]. It is much more efficient to toggle between the submachine gun and a [[Shotgun\|shotgun]], using the SMG against biters and close-range shotgun blasts against the nest.

	This weapon can easily handle moderate waves of small biters, even with [[Firearm magazine\|regular ammunition]], but destroying nests efficiently requires damage upgrades or the more expensive [[Piercing rounds magazine\|piercing round]]. Regular and aggressive use will devour the player's ammo supply, and the high cost of producing ammo against respawning biters can stifle early game production.

	~~Because of these issues the submachine gun is best reserved for personal defense. Players wishing to take the fight to the biters should instead invest in the assault-friendly [[Shotgun]].~~
