Submachine gun (Fallout 4)

The submachine gun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
This weapon is let down by its poor damage per bullet, which is the same as .38 rounds fired by a pipe gun, despite the fact that it uses .45 rounds. The drum can hold more than that of a pipe gun, but the rate of fire remains the same. As it is, using this weapon will waste a lot of .45 ammo. A pipe gun is a viable alternative in order to save .45 rounds for the combat rifle.

Although the weapon is technically coded to have the same range as short-barreled rifles and has a reasonable 13 points of damage per bullet, once mods apply these are reduced and produce a marginally shorter range and roughly 33% lower damage than the base weapon.

Crafting
With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, submachine guns can be manufactured using a weapon forge.

Behind the scenes
In both appearance and functionality, this weapon is based on the Thompson submachine gun, often nicknamed the "Tommy Gun". "Submachine gun" is a generic term that could apply equally to many weapons in the game.
