Silenced Submachine Gun

"I guess it'll do. Yeah, whatever, it's a machinegun."

- Ellis

The Silenced Submachine Gun is a Submachine gun variant in Left 4 Dead 2. It holds 50 rounds with 650 in reserve, and has enough accuracy to shoot at medium range. Although it is replaced by the assault rifle or Combat Rifle in Tier 2, it still has the highest rate of fire. It also has noticeable stopping power. The main drawback to the submachine gun is the high rate of ammo expenditure; most Survivors using a submachine gun will run out of ammo partially through a level if they aren't conservative with their shooting. However, it is great for medium-ranged closed-quarters such as large warehouses and apartments. Its high rate of fire and penetration make it a ranged alternative to the short-ranged shotgun. As with most of the new weapons in Left 4 Dead 2, the character must cock the weapon if reloading on an empty chamber.

Trivia

 * It is modeled after the MAC-10 with a suppressor attached.
 * With most of the guns in Left 4 Dead, the flashlight is attached to the gun as standard. This gun, however, has the flashlight attached to the suppressor instead with cable ties.
 * The Silenced SMG seems to be slightly less acurate than the standard one, which is strange, since the supressor should make it more acurate.
