A '''submachine gun''' (SMG) is a type of firearm that combines automatic fire with pistol-sized rounds, and is usually between the two in terms of weight. The submachine gun was first developed during the late stages of World War 1 as a way to improve trench warfare, but the war ended before major improvements could be made. These improvements took place during the years leading up to World War 2, during which practically every country involved in the war had at least one type of SMG, and new developments continue to be made to this day. | A '''submachine gun''' (SMG) is a type of firearm that combines automatic fire with pistol-sized rounds, and is usually between the two in terms of weight.
