There are a total of Submachine Guns (SMG) entries in the Military Factory. The Germans ushered in an all-new era of submachine gun design during the Cold War years with the introduction of the excellent Heckler & Koch MP5 which went on to be used by dozens of countries the world over. The war produced the reliable American M1 Thompson, the war-winning British STEN series and the famous German MP38/MP40 types.
