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.

Variants

 * Spray n' Pray - a unique weapon, sold by the wandering merchant Cricket.
 * Silver submachine gun - clean skin with a silver gleam, part of the quest The Silver Shroud.

Locations

 * In the Wreck of the USS Riptide, one can be found next to the skeletal remains of a soldier at the barge's front end. This item respawns very frequently.
 * In Vault 114, this weapon is commonly used by the Triggermen inside. Some higher level raiders use the submachine gun as well.
 * Carried by most Neighborhood Watch in Goodneighbor.
 * A submachine gun can be found in a display case in the gun shop at Forest Grove marsh (on the ground floor of the central building with the glowing red light antenna on top). This item respawns every few days when the map cell is reset.
 * Commonly carried by Triggermen and raiders.
 * One can be found in the basement armory.
