SMGs · Series staple
SMGs
Compact automatic weapons built for drive-bys and fast close-quarters fights.
Submachine guns fill the gap between pistols and rifles, compact enough to fire from a vehicle and quick enough for tight indoor fights. They are a natural fit for the fast, mobile crime GTA 6 seems built around.
The class usually includes everything from small machine pistols to full SMGs with stocks and suppressors. Drive-by shooting has been a GTA signature for decades, and SMGs are the weapon most associated with it.
