Submachine gun (Fallout 4)

The Thompson submachine gun, or simply submachine gun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background
The .45 submachine gun is a staple of the Triggermen gangs operating in the Commonwealth, following old pre-War mafia values and traditions. The submachine gun has become a common sight in the Commonwealth, serving various factions operating in the area such as the raiders and the Minutemen.

Characteristics
The submachine gun's high rate of fire can quickly damage enemies at the cost of having little individual shot damage, going through ammo stunningly fast, and having sub-par range. Thankfully, reloads are fast enough and hip-fire spread is manageable, but recoil while aiming can be an issue without a muzzle brake fitted.
