I feel like the submachinegun class of weapons are not very attractive to people when they should be.
Submachineguns are currently, to my understanding of the IC laws, rated as a more highly illegal item than a pistol or rifle.
Submachinegun ammo goes WAY faster and dirties the weapon at a much higher rate than pistol or rifle weapons.
Submachinegun extended magazines are not submachinegun specific, so if you use the end-game pistol caliber, you can run around with a 50 round drum and probably won't need to clean it or re-load for quite some time. A submachinegun user needs to be on top of it after EVERY engagement.
I understand that currently these weapons are rule of cool. I understand that it is written off as a financial flex to own and operate them, I am just of the opinion that maybe for what they are and how the alternatives out there function way better and in some cases cheaper, they should be lessened in the rate of needing to clean or upped in damage as shooting someone with multiple rounds seems to be just as damaging as the other class using a single round with less filth accumulation and less ammo expenditure. Perhaps maybe limit the drums or even the extended magazines to submachinegun only? I understand modern day pistols make use of extended magazines too.
