Combat Arms/Submachine guns

A submachine gun, often abbreviated to SMG, is basically an assault rifle that sacrifices power and accuracy for a high firing rate and portability. Submachine guns also tend to have less recoil, a smaller range of crosshair size, and a fast reload. A variety of submachine guns are available for your spraying needs.

The recoil pattern of submachine guns differs from that of assault rifles. Submachine guns all have barely noticeable everywhere recoil, but instead, they kick straight up, and then start rocking side to side after a while.

HK MP5A4

Damage	25
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	87
Portability	79
Recoil U-S-E	12-10-1
Crosshair	3-5
Ammo	30/90
Reload	8
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	800

Common Name: MP5

This balanced and fairly low recoil submachine gun is one of the most popular. Still strong enough for a four-shot kill, the MP5A4 has easily controllable recoil and a decent spraying rate. A scope can be attached to this weapon, making mid-range shots still possible. All the other mods can be attached too, although a suppressor doesn't make much difference.

The MP5A4 is now purchasable at the Black Market for a permanent usage period. This permanently replaces the M16A3.

HK MP5 RAS (Supply Case)

Damage	25
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	87
Portability	83
Recoil U-S-E	3-5-1
Crosshair	3-5
Ammo	30/90
Reload	8
Firing Modes	Auto / Burst
Price	3500/case

Common Name: MP5 RAS

A Supply Case upgrade on the MP5A4, the MP5 RAS is exactly the same, except that the recoil is dramatically reduced, and it is slightly more portable. Just like the M4A1 CQBR and AK103, this gun is not balanced, it is above average. And therefore this gun might cost you a lot of GP to finally get from a case. On the other hand, you could get lucky and receive the MP5 RAS for 90 days on the first try. Also, the MP5 RAS fires with a slightly different noise.

The MP5 RAS can accommodate all modifications and can burst-fire also.

HK MP5 MOD (Black Market)

Damage	25
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	87
Portability	79
Recoil U-S-E	12-10-1
Crosshair	3-5
Ammo	30/90
Reload	8
Firing Modes	Auto

Common Name: MP5 MOD

A fully equipped MP5A4, with "built-in" ACOG TA3 scope (incorrectly labeled in-game as a TA1), and a S3 suppressor. It does not have a built in magazine mod.

HK UMP

Damage	29
Accuracy	89
Fire Rate	78
Portability	80
Recoil U-S-E	16-7-4
Crosshair	2-6
Ammo	35/105
Reload	7
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	850

Common Name: UMP

This submachine gun is the most similar to an assault rifle. It has high damage for a four-shot kill and a high portability, and this is counterbalanced by slow firing and inaccuracy. For unknown reasons, the UMP has a larger clip and more ammo than most of the other guns, and this is possibly why it costs slightly more.

The UMP can be fitted with all the modifications. The gunshot sound of the UMP is distinctive and actually found annoying by many players, so using a suppressor may help you avoid detection.

Daewoo K1A

Damage	28
Accuracy	94
Fire Rate	80
Portability	76
Recoil U-S-E	22-10-6
Crosshair	2-6
Ammo	30/90
Reload	7
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	800

Common Name: K1

Like the UMP, the K1A is a submachine gun that also possesses traits of an assault rifle. The K1A is the most accurate out of all the submachine guns, but has relatively hefty recoil to counter this. It has high damage capable of a four-shot kill, but a slow spray rate. Therefore the K1A can be attached with a scope and used for mid-range combat in addition to close-range spraying.

Daewoo K7

Damage	22
Accuracy	87
Fire Rate	95
Portability	90
Recoil U-S-E	23-19-0
Crosshair	4-5
Ammo	30/90
Reload	9
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	850

Common Name: K7

The K7 is a great example of a submachine gun built for spraying. The very high rate of fire combined with high portability allows you to get in your opponent's face and fill them up with lead before they can even react. This is counterbalanced by a five-shot kill.

What people find difficult about the K7 is its strange recoil. There is absolutely no everywhere recoil. When you start firing, the K7 will immediately kick straight up, and then afterwards rock heavily side-to-side. When the side-recoil starts, you should just let go of your mouse button and then spray again.

The K7 has a suppressor built into its design that can not be removed, which is why it costs just a bit more. You can still add a scope or magazine mod, though.

IMI UZI

Damage	20
Accuracy	86
Fire Rate	106
Portability	95
Recoil U-S-E	16-16-1
Crosshair	4-5
Ammo	30/90
Reload	10
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	700

Common Name: UZI

The UZI is basically the "fastest" gun. Featuring the fastest firing rate out of any weapon in Combat Arms, it deals the weakest damage per shot for a five-shot kill. On a person wearing protective gear like a Heavy Vest, it will be a six-shot kill. The UZI also has the highest portability, so you will run very fast with it, and it is also has the fastest reload.

The recoil of the UZI goes straight up, and then side-to-side. This gun costs less than the others because you can't put a scope on it. It can still be fitted with a suppressor (reduces damage to a six-shot kill) and a magazine mod.

Ingram MAC-10

Damage	24
Accuracy	85
Fire Rate	105
Portability	93
Recoil U-S-E	24-5-10
Crosshair	4-6
Ammo	30/90
Reload	9
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	800

Common Name: MAC-10

The MAC-10 is just like an UZI, but with stronger damage and recoil. It is quite inaccurate compared to the other guns, but makes up for it with a fire rate just about as fast as the UZI's. The recoil pattern is different - the MAC-10's goes a bit more everywhere.

The MAC-10 is explicitly for close combat, a sure way to kill somebody with it is to get right up in their face. The recoil and inaccuracy will almost ensure that you lose every fight at medium-range and farther. The MAC-10 can be fitted with all mods.

FN P90

Damage	27
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	91
Portability	92
Recoil U-S-E	16-6-14
Crosshair	3-7
Ammo	50/50
Reload	9
Firing Modes	Auto
Price	1100

Common Name: P90

This very strange looking gun is quite good, but lacking in several areas. The damage is a good four-hit kill, and the accuracy and portability are balanced and rather high compared to some other submachine guns. It also reloads very quickly. The P90 comes with a built-in reflex scope (with red dot), which is very small, barely gives any magnification, but negates the recoil when you are using the scope.

The P90 is somewhat low on recoil, but when the side-to-side rocking begins, make sure to let go of the mouse button and fire again.

The main complaint about the P90 is that it doesn't have enough ammo. Although it has an extremely large clip size, there is only 100 pieces of ammo total, while the other guns have at least 120. You are also unable to attach a magazine modification. This gun's uniqueness and built-in scope causes it to cost you more GP than do the other guns.

FN P90 SE (Black Market)

Damage	27
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	91
Portability	92
Recoil U-S-E	16-6-14
Crosshair	3-7
Ammo	50/100

Firing Modes	Auto

Common Name: P90 SE

The P90 SE is the same as the regular P90 in all aspects besides that it comes with an extra clip (total of 150 bullets) and faster reloading speed. It still comes with a built-in scope of the regular P90.

FN P90 TR (Black Market)

Common Name: P90 TR

The P90 TR is the same as the regular P90 in all aspects besides that it comes with an integrated silencer and a top rail. It does not come with a built-in scope, but the top rail allows you to attach other scopes, such as an ACOG or iTech, which you cannot do with a regular P90.

FN P90 TR SE (Black Market)

Damage	27
Accuracy	91
Fire Rate	91
