Submachine gun (Fallout 76)

	For a cross-game overview, see submachine gun.

The submachine gun is an automatic rifle in Fallout 76.

Characteristics[]

A rapid-fire weapon firing .45 caliber rounds, the submachine gun is a relatively common sight in Appalachia. The submachine gun does the lowest damage of all the automatic weapons, balanced by its large magazine, relatively low recoil, and speedy reloads when equipped with one of the quick eject drums.
