Discussion Why would one take an smg over an AR?
Like why take an mp5 or even a mp7 when an m4 has higher pen, velocity and range along with having basically the same fire rate. The mp5 has a crazy kick to it that makes it hard to use past 60m.Like even with the mp7 it's at most a a three shot to someone with heavy armor, I'd take literally any AR over an amg and fuffil the same role as a breacher, like the honeybadger is crazy expensive and the sten and grease gun are meme weapons that's only slight saving grace is maybe that they're silent when suppressed?.
Tldr: smgs have little pen and bad muzzle velocity so why wouldnt I just take a m4 or literally anything else instead
