Machine Pistol
A submachine gun is a compact small-arm with automatic fire capability.
While originally a niche concept conceived in the 1800s, it saw little use in the various wars between Tekkea, Radosis and Sas compared to the larger rifles more suited to long-range engagements, as well as mechanised vehicles. However, the interest for the concept was revived by John G. Galton after founding Hoot'n'Toot Armament Manufacturing.
Machine Pistols
The little brother of submachine guns, the machine pistol was an invention made by John G. Galton. Unlike submachine guns, the machine pistol is as compact as a handgun--but is otherwise closely related, and are in some cases indistinguishable.
