Silenced .22 SMG

The American 180 SMG is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The American 180 is iconic with it's unusual pan magazine, which sits atop the gun rather than under it like most magazine designs do.

Behind the Scenes
Although the actual name of the in-game weapon is currently unknown (American 180 is a placeholder), the weapon itself is based off of the real American 180 sub-machine gun. The American 180 was invented in early 1970 based off of the Casull Model 290 which also used the American 180's pan magazine style clip. Only 80 Casull 290s were made because of how expensive it was to make the guns, so the American 180 was made as a cheaper alternative to it's older brother.
