Assault SMG
The Assault SMG is a new SMG in the GTA IV DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is based on the Belgian FN P90. It is outfitted with a functional suppressor as no muzzle flash is produced when the weapon is fired, however it cannot be used for stealth attacks. The P90 is classified as a personal defense weapon (PDW) as it features a cartridge size somewhere between a pistol round and an assault rifle round (the P90 uses the proprietary 5.7x28mm cartridge). The Assault SMG is one of the first bull pup weapons offered in the GTA series. It is perfect in gunfights and easy to carry due to its light and compact size. It is more accurate than the SMG, however it has less stopping power, a common criticism of PDW cartridges. Unlike other SMGs, the Assault SMG cannot be used by the driver of a vehicle.
Trivia
- A bull pup configuration has the action and magazine of the weapon located behind the trigger to reduce the overall length and weight of the weapon.
