Compact machine guns are the panic buttons of the weapon world. You’re not lining up shots with these things; you’re not taking enemies out at a distance, dealing massive damage, suppressing, or sneaking with a CMG. Instead, what you’re getting are weapons with high Rates of Fire that can discharge an entire magazine in the blink of an eye. If you want to remove an enemy from this mortal coil before either of you even know what happened, whip out a CMG, point and shoot. What was once a man will be little more than red dust and lead.
The SMG-11 is not a gun you’re going to use often. Not because it’s a bad weapon by any means, but because it’s Rate of Fire burns through bullets so fast there is no time to plan, line up shots, or even think. It functions more as a “Break in Case of Emergency” option for times when your primary weapon runs dry, but an enemy is on top of you. Whip this out, close your eyes and pull the trigger. When the dust settles you’ll be alive and your enemy will have a lot of trouble passing through metal detectors.
The Skorpion is a much more stable version of the SMG-11. It has similar stats across the board, but a bigger magazine and better Handling, making it much easier to aim with. It will still be put to better use as an emergency weapon, but you’ll be able to line up your shots with greater ease.
