MP7

The SMG1 (actual name not given)is the most common automatic weapon in the game. It is fairly weak, and has rather low accuracy, but this is made up for by the 45-round magazine it houses.

It is used commonly by Overwatch Soldiers as well as Civil Protection when they are patrolling the Canals. The first SMG1 the player recieves is in the Canals, after killing a Civil Protection officer.

Usage
The SMG1 fires two types of projectiles. The first fires standard bullets which are relatively weak and inaccurate. The second projectile is a grenade, which fires over an arc, and explodes on impact. The player can carry up to three grenades at a time, and finding them is quite rare.

Tactics
Although weak, the SMG1 is ideal for close quarters engagements, and its high magazine capacity is another advantage. However be sure to watch your ammo count, because the weapon fires very rapidly, and you quickly use up your magazine.

The grenades are good for hitting targets that are behind cover, but they aren't very effective against Striders. Use the grenades sparingly, as they are rare, and be sure that no friendlies are caught in the blast.

Extra Information

 * The SMG1 strongly resembles the H&K MP-7 Personal Defense Weapon, however, the SMG1 has several cosmetic differences as well as the grenade launcher
 * The actual name of the SMG1 is never revealed, however it appears to be an MP-7 modified by the combine to better suit infantry combat roles
