A Kashtan Submachine gun

The submachine gun is a lightweight automatic small-arms weapon chambered for relatively low-energy pistol cartridges and fired from the hip or shoulder. Most types utilize simple blowback actions. Using carttridges of such calibers as .45 or 9mm, they usually have box type magazines that hold from 10 to 50 cartridges, or ocassionally drums holding more rounds. A short ranged weapon, the submachine gun is rarely effective at more than 200 yards (180m) firing it over 200 yards will decrease accuracy. It fires at rates as high as 650 or more rounds per minute and weighs 6 to 10 pounds (2.5 to 4.5 kg) in general.

Use in a zombie apocalypse[]

A Subamchine gun is a rapid firing weapon that can take on many enemies at once, but it lacks range- much like a shotgun. Submachine guns are normally used when encountering hordes of zombies. Submachine guns, like most weapons, make noise when fired .But fortunately, Submachine guns can be equipped with a supressor which reduces the sound made- but, just like the handgun, it will become weaker when muffled.

Submachine guns can also be used as pairs, but some Submachine guns are so heavy that the person can only wield one. Submachine guns can also be equipped with a stock for improved accuracy and easier firing.

Saving Ammo[]

Here is a list of few useful tactics for saving ammunition:

  • Short Burst: Short bursting of these types of weapons is useful for a small mobs of zombies, in about 3 to 4. But the Handgun is recommended for these encounters, because you can waste your precious Submachine gun ammo in useless fights against this small count of zombies.
  • Last Resort: Use the Submachine gun only as a last resort weapon against large mobs if you run out of shotgun or handgun ammo. The Shotgun, although strong, it can only hold 7 to 8 shotgun shells, and the Handgun, although can also be used as a last resort, and can hold 10 to 15 rounds, can be used against fast moving enemies, is very weak. The Submachine gun, even though it's a bit weak, it can take on hordes of zombies, and be used against fast-moving enemies, other than that, it holds a big bunch of rounds (about 25 to 35 rounds), it can shoot fast.
  • In the head: Try shooting their heads, it can save you lots of time and ammunition, rather than shooting them repeatedly in other body parts. This is also very useful, and heads are zombies weak points.
