Sub Machine Gun
A sub machine gun describes a series of firearms that are smaller than assault rifles and fire pistol-caliber ammunition. SMGs are used the world over in military and law enforcement applications, and are also used for criminal acts by certain criminal groups. There are a big number of sub machine guns in the Grand Theft Auto series including the Micro Uzi, Micro SMG, MP5 (MP10 in Grand Theft Auto IV), MAC-10, Tec-9 and the Scorpion. SMGs are a staple of the Grand Theft Auto games in that they provide more firepower than a pistol, and are more easily wielded than assault rifles. SMGs are found in great supply throughout all games, whether through gun shops, gang members, high-level law enforcement, or just laying around the city.
The SMG rendition in Chinatown Wars is undoubtedly a HK MP5A3, however the barrel appears to be "snub-nosed" (Stubby and short). The stock is concealed so that it is more portable and can be sprinted with and used in drive-bys. It has a fast rate of fire and good accuracy. It is available when the Fully Cocked Upgrade is purchased.
