I'm running outta places to put holes in ya.
The Sniper

The Submachine Gun, often abbreviated as SMG, is the stock secondary weapon for the Sniper. It appears to be a modified Template:W submachine gun, without rear sights or its distinguishable folding stock.

This weapon deals a low amount of damage per round, but has a high rate of fire and moderate accuracy, firing 10 bullets per second. It enables the player to engage enemies at closer ranges in which the Sniper Rifle would be insufficient. The Submachine Gun suffers from a damage falloff over distance similar to the Pistol or Syringe Gun. Despite its appearance, it actually has a lower DPS (damage per second) than the Pistol, but a quicker reload time.

Like the Pistol and Revolver, the SMG fires a single, perfectly accurate shot down the crosshair before bullet spread takes effect. Waiting 1.25 seconds will reset the accuracy and provide another accurate shot.
