| | A '''[[wp:sub machine gun|sub machine gun]]''' describes a series of firearms that are smaller than assault rifles and fire pistol-caliber ammunition. SMGs are used all over the world 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]], Thompson Machine Gun, Uzi Submachine Gun, [[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 [[Ammu-Nation|gun shops]], [[Grove Street Families|gang members]], [[NOOSE|high-level law enforcement]], or just laying around the city. |

| 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 I 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 II, 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.

| SMGs are short-range weapons, resulting from both their low-powered rounds (when compared to those of assault rifles and full-sized machine guns) and short barrels. The small rounds allow for larger magazine capacity, though while some SMGs like the [[Wikipedia:Thompson_submachine_gun|M1928 Thompson "Tommy Gun"]] and the Russian [[Wikipedia:PPSh-41|PPSh-41]] use drum magazines carrying 50 rounds or more, the average SMG magazine holds 20-30 rounds. The SMG's high rate of fire contribute to their effectiveness in close quarters battle, though some submachine guns like the [[MAC-10]] or [[Micro Uzi]] (which fall under the sub-class of machine pistols) have such a high rate of fire that it causes the weapon's accuracy to suffer.

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. |

| Most SMGs are meant to be fired from the shoulder, and thus are built with a stock, though in many cases the stock is collapsible. This doesn't prevent users from firing from the hip or other unorthodox position, however, thanks to the weapon's size and weight.

| In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the '''SMG''' is the in-game reference to the SW MP-10, which is a heavily-modified MP5 variant with no rear stock and a foregrip-mounted light, which does not activate. The SMG appears in the hands of [[NOOSE]] and the FBI at the three and four star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted levels.]]
