— The Sniper
 ”

The SMG (acronym for Submachine Gun) is the default secondary weapon for the Sniper.

The SMG deals a low amount of damage per shot, but has a high rate of fire and accuracy, firing 10 bullets per second at 600 rounds per minute. Players can use it to engage enemies more effectively at close quarters, where the Sniper Rifle is less powerful. It has a lower damage per second (DPS) than the Pistol, but a quicker reload time and less spread, along with a higher rate of fire.

Like the Pistol and Revolver, the SMG fires a single, perfectly accurate shot before "bullet spread" takes effect. Waiting 1.25 seconds resets the accuracy and provides another accurate shot.
