A submachine gun, abbreviated SMG, is a magazine-fed, automatic carbine designed to fire handgun cartridges. The term "submachine gun" was coined by John T. Thompson, the inventor of the Thompson submachine gun, to describe its design concept as an automatic firearm with notably less firepower than a machine gun (hence the prefix "sub-"). As a machine gun must fire rifle cartridges to be classified as such, submachine guns are not considered machine guns.As you fight in epic, unexpected locations across the globe, enjoy the richest and most immersive Battlefield yet.

Battlefield V Welgun
The Welgun was designed during 1942 by the British Special Operations Executive, who sought to create a submachine-gun more suitable for their purposes than the standard issue Sten Gun. Its name derives from the place where it was designed - SOE's Station IX, situated at The Frythe, a large house near Welwyn in Hertfordshire.
The Welgun possessed some novel features, in that the mainspring was positioned forward of the bolt, around the barrel, and that no cocking handle was provided: instead the user grasped the ribbed rear-section of the bolt itself. Its short overall length and folding butt made it more compact than the Sten, but it was not adopted for service. More Information
