SMG: Automatic. Fires at a very high rate, dealing great damage while consuming a lot of ammo. Good for run-and-gun combat, and accurate enough to fight at mid range when fired in short bursts.

Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

If choosing between the Tactical Submachine Gun and regular Submachine Gun, you should opt for the latter, as its stats and usage as a close range weapon excel compared to the Tactical version.
The Tactical Submachine Gun has a more controlled fire rate, so it doesn't use up all of your ammo as quickly as other Submachine Guns.
However, the fire rate is much higher compared to its modern version, and the Tactical Submachine Gun is a fast-killing, devastating weapon that is best paired with the Pump Shotgun or the Heavy Shotgun.

Counters[]

The Tactical Submachine Gun is not as strong as other SMGs at close range, so a faster firing SMG can easily overwhelm an opponent using a Tactical Submachine Gun.
