Gameplay articles: Fallout, Fallout 2

The H&K MP9 submachine is a weapon commonly found in New California, chambered for 10mm ammunition. The MP9 features semi-automatic and burst firing modes. Coupled with the compact design, sturdiness, and light weight, it becomes a powerful asset in the hands of anyone in the wasteland.[1][2]

M3A1 "Grease Gun" SMG[]

Fo2 Grease Gun
Gameplay article: Fallout 2

This submachine gun filled National Guard arsenals after the Army replaced it with newer weapons. However, the "Grease" gun was simple and cheap to manufacture so there are still quite a few still in use. It's very powerful, but its .45 rounds lack the bonuses of 10mm rounds.

Tommy gun[]

Gameplay articles: Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics

The Thompson is well-fed by a large 50 round drum magazine. Like the Grease gun, the Thompson is pretty powerful, but fires nondescript .45 rounds.

9mm SMG (Fallout New Vegas)
Gameplay articles: Fallout: New Vegas, Van Buren

An ancient firearm that had been produced as early as 1932,[4] the 9mm submachine gun is a compact weapon with a collapsible stock and high rate of fire, emptying its standard magazine of 30 rounds in 3 seconds flat.[citation needed]

12.7mm submachine gun[]

12.7mm SMG

More common in higher levels, the 12.7mm submachine gun is a heavy duty large caliber SMG. It features a top mounted magazine, the bullets lie at a right angle to the weapon.

Silenced .22 SMG[]

Gameplay article: Fallout: New Vegas

The silenced .22 SMG is iconic with its unusual pan magazine, which sits atop the gun rather than under. The silencer is integrated right into the barrel.

.45 Auto submachine gun[]

.45 Auto submachine gun

Used by the tribes in Zion Canyon and the Triggermen of the Commonwealth, the .45 Auto SMG is a relatively robust gun that offers heavy firepower. However, the result is that this gun requires two hands to operate. Also, the heavy recoil means that this SMG's accuracy will suffer in long-distance engagements.

Sten gun[]

  2. Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p.5-16: "One of the finest weapons in the world. The H&K MP9 is a solid submachine gun, capable of single or burst mode attacks. The single shot is acceptable, comparable to the 6520 pistol, but the burst mode is spectacular! The MP9 is easy to control, and spews 10mm death like no other firearm in it’s size category."
