Submachine Guns can refer to both the upgradeable skill and the weapon.
Description[]
Weapons[]
When it comes to fully automatic ballistic mayhem, accept nothing less. Used in pairs, the submachine guns offer a stream of bullets that generates recoil and injury in equal doses. Accurate only in short bursts, the SMG is ideal at short and medium range versus multiple targets.
Skills[]
Levels of SMG skill increase damage and recoil control (reducing the inaccuracy of constant firing). Advanced levels unlock stronger bonuses for critical streaks and the ability to fire without reloading for brief periods of time.
Skill[]
Submachine Guns is an upgradeable skill in the game Alpha Protocol.This skill costs 5 Advancement Points per rank.
| Rank | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Improved SMG Critical Hit (Basic) | Successive hits with a submachine gun start a Critical Hit Streak. As more hits pile up, a growing damage multiplier adds some extra kick to successive shots. This damage bonus remains until Mike reloads or too much time passes since the last hit. This ability increases the damage multiplier and the time allowed to keep a Critical Hit Streak going.
Damage Multiplier: 15% (Default is 10%) Maximum Time Allowed Between Hits to Maintain Streak: 6 seconds |
| 2 | SMG Proficiency (Basic) | Recoil Control: +2
Accuracy: +2 |
| 3 | Bullet Storm (Basic) | Temporarily removes the need to reload - effectively setting the Magazine size to an infinite value for the ability's duration. When Bullet Storm expires, the Submachine Guns are emptied - regardless of how much ammunition was in them previously. This ability can only be used with the SMGs equipped.
Duration: 4 seconds Cooldown: 60 seconds |
| 4 | SMG Proficiency (Trained) | Damage: +3 |

Cooldown: 45 seconds |
| 8 | SMG Proficiency (Expert) | Recoil Control: +2 (+4 Total)

Cooldown: 45 seconds |
| 11 | SMG Proficiency (Expert) | Recoil Control: +2 (+6 Total)

An example of the various variations of SMGs in Alpha Protocol
