Gold SMG

The Gold SMG and its associated HUD icon

The Gold SMG is a new weapon in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It appears as a gold-plated IMI Uzi submachine gun. Yusuf Amir has a Gold SMG and is occasionally seen walking around with it.

It has the same stopping power, accuracy and quite similar firing sound as the Micro Uzi, and is, basically, a stumpier replacement. However, the rate of fire is different, as it fires much faster than the Micro Uzi. It has a 30-round magazine, rather than the Micro Uzi's fifty round magazine. Also, the reload is somewhat longer.

Because it is much bigger than the Micro-SMG, the gun is held with two hands, firing from the hip.

Trivia

• The Gold SMG is the default weapon when weapons are set to Automatic in multiplayer The Ballad of Gay Tony.
• The Gold SMG is used by Armando and Henrique during Drug Wars 50 and over.
• In Yusuf Amir's artwork, the Gold SMG is depicted as having a much smaller magazine then it does in the game.
• After Luis obtains the Gold SMG from Yusuf's car, he will phone Luis. During the conversation, Yusuf claims that the gun is solid gold, but this would make the gun very heavy, and gold would be too soft for the internal workings.

Obtaining

• After completing Yusuf Amir's final mission, he will award the player with his car and the Gold SMG in the glove compartment.
• Complete the game to unlock the Gold SMG in Armando's Gun Van, costing $5000.
• After finishing 50 Drug Wars and completing the mission "Departure Time", the Gold SMG spawns in Luis' apartment.
