Submachine gun/ Comapct assault rifle debate
See on a lot of pages where a rifle caliber gun is called a SMG since its small, like aks-74u is commonly called a SMG, ive seen "colt 733 smg"?
I say any rifle caliber caliber is a rifle, pistol caliber is a SMG. Should we put an official ID policy up? |
I personally agree about that. Unfortunaly you do get some weapons that do blur the line as they are a rifle converted to a pistol caliber.

Well something like that Colt AR-15 in 9mm should be called an SMG because it fires pistol ammo.
Then we got the Cx4 Storm, which has been called a rifle, but it fires pistol rounds. |

I agree with K9870 - if it was based on a full-size assault rifle, and it fires the same ammo, it's still a rifle, not a subgun. Even if the weapon's role is basically quite similar to a subgun role. But it is true that manufacturers themselves have not always respected this definition - not only with the Colt 733, but also the Daewoo K1.

I think with the Chinese, what they call it in the language was just a mistranslation because they didnt have a word for Assault Rifle. |
