Submachine gun

The submachine gun is an upgrade from the pistol. It fires the same ammunition types and deals the same damage as the pistol, but has increased range and a much higher rate of fire. This same type of weapon is installed in the car and tank; the car and tank's version of the submachine gun fires +5 rounds per second and has +2 range compared to the handheld one. This weapon can easily handle moderate waves of small biters, even with regular ammunition, but destroying nests efficiently requires damage upgrades or the more expensive piercing round. It is much more efficient to toggle between the submachine gun and a shotgun, using the SMG against biters and close-range shotgun blasts against the nest.
