The American model of a submachine gun combines all the advantages of this type of weapon. The weapon is characterized by increased hit accuracy when firing and reduced recoil when fired. The designers achieved this by creating a new automatic system with a semi-blowback. During shooting, a special counterweight insert slows down the bolt's recoil, which reduces recoil and barrel kick.
Main characteristics:
caliber - 0.45;
rate of fire - from 1100 rounds per minute;
magazine capacity - from 17 to 30 rounds;
Firing range - from 45 meters.

"ST Kinetics CPW"
st kinetics cpw
The modern development of Singaporean designers was created with the aim of improving weapons for police officers. For ease of use, the weapon is lightweight and compact in size. The designers took into account the characteristics of users, both right-handed and left-handed, and developed bilateral controls. In comparison with other products in this category, the ST Kinetics CPW submachine gun is characterized by an increased rate of fire, which experts attribute to its advantages and disadvantages. The rate of fire reduces the ability to aim and leads to rapid consumption of ammunition.
Main characteristics:
caliber - 9 millimeters; rate of fire - up to 1300 rounds per minute; magazine capacity - up to 30 rounds; Firing range - up to 100 meters.
"PP-2000"
PP 2000
Developed by Tula designers, it is a compact submachine gun with low weight and dimensions. The use of dense plastic as a body reduced the weight of the structure and completely reduced the possibility of rusting. A comfortable handle, connected by a jumper to the trigger guard, allows you to shoot without taking off your gloves, which makes it easier to use at low temperatures.
Main characteristics:
- caliber - 9 millimeters;
- rate of fire - up to 600 rounds per minute;
- magazine capacity - up to 30 rounds;
- Firing range - up to 150 meters.
"Steyr AUG Para"
steyr aug para
The model was created in Austria as an alternative to the assault rifle, which acted as a basic design. The designers managed to create a submachine gun with excellent parameters. It has proven itself in conditions where it is necessary to fire at close range in a confined space, without fear of ricochets from buildings and vehicles. Another advantage of using it in close combat is the low penetrating effect of a submachine gun.
The use of units similar to an assault rifle allows you to quickly repair weapons in military conditions. This advantage allowed the model to find its application in many law enforcement agencies of European countries.
Main characteristics:
- caliber - 9 millimeters;
- rate of fire - up to 700 rounds per minute;
- magazine capacity - up to 25 rounds;
- Firing range - up to 250 meters.
A list of the best submachine guns in the world has been compiled
The editors of NewInform have listed submachine guns that can be considered the best in their family.
Increased interest in modern sporting rifles, as well as the natural pace of industry development, has led to developers producing semi-automatic rifles in an increasingly wide range of configurations. One of the latest innovations is a new generation of pistol-caliber rifles that combine smaller pistol calibers with rifle or carbine weapons.
5th place. PCCs Quarter Circle 10 (USA)
The modular nature of the AR-15 weapon system allowed designers to focus on improving the pistol caliber's performance. From a consumer perspective, getting to know AR rifles is relatively easy. Several manufacturers offer their own pistol-caliber AR carbines, and the Texas Quarter Circle 10 PCCs are representative of the industry trend.
The Quarter Circle 10 PCCs are based on the AR-15, but use the Blowback system instead of the AR platform's direct strike system. In other words, the recoil that occurs when firing a cannon activates the powder gases. Like many AR manufacturers, Quarter Circle designs feature hybrid Glock and Colt elements.
4th place. Beretta CX4 Storm (USA)
The Storm has the same set of controls as Beretta pistols. This is an attractive feature for police departments and individuals who already use Beretta firearms.
The Cx4 can also accept magazines from the Px4 series pistols, including the famous Beretta 92. This allows the weapon to accommodate up to twenty rounds of ammunition. Other features of the Cx4 include light recoil, ambidextrous controls, a chrome hammer-forged barrel for durability, a 16.6-inch magazine length, and a Picatinny rail for mounting sights that runs along the top of the receiver. The weapon weighs 5.6 pounds when unloaded.
3rd place. CZ Scorpion EVO3 S1 (Czech Republic)
The CZ Scorpion EVO3 S1 shares a name with an older weapon - Šcorpion vz. 61. It was popular among vehicle crews and rear support personnel.
The EVO3 S1 has an overall length of thirty-four inches and features a metal receiver with a fiber-reinforced polymer jacket. He also received ambidextrous management. The 16.2-inch barrel, cold hammer forged and factory installed with a break-compensating muzzle or artificial suppressor, is a delight. The ½ - 28 thread allows the soldier to install a third-party muzzle brake, compensator, or suppressor. The EVO3 S1 also features an MLOK-compatible handguard for attaching accessories to your weapon, including lights and lasers.
2nd place. Kel-Tec Sub-2000 (USA)
One of the more unusual guns on the market is the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 carbine. Like the Cx4, the Sub-2000 appears to be pistol-shaped with a long barrel and a shoulder stock. It also features auxiliary Picatinny rails above and below the barrel.
The Kel-Tec features a special feature: folding for compact storage. Once in a compact case, the carbine is secured to the soldier's belt using a built-in lock and key system.
The Sub-2000, like the other guns on this list, has a 16.25-inch barrel. Thanks to its skeletal, minimalist configuration, the weapon weighs just 4.25 pounds. The weapon accepts magazines from Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, Smith & Wesson M&P, Sig Sauer P226 and Beretta 92.
1 place. Heckler & Koch USC 45 (Germany)
German gunmaker Heckler & Koch is seeking to impose restrictions on the sale of its military-style long guns. The H&K USC 45, the civilian version of the UMP 45 submachine gun, is one such weapon that has made a comeback in the international market.
It was developed to complement the world famous MP5 submachine gun in the Heckler & Koch product line. The UMP is a newer design designed to take advantage of the greater benefits of modern materials, especially polymers, resulting in a weapon that is lighter than the MP5 but capable of handling heavier, more powerful calibers.
The USC 45 has a cold hammer forged sixteen-inch barrel, ambidextrous controls, and a large trigger well suited for glove use. He also received a webbed stock. The submachine gun accepts ten-round magazines and includes a Picatinny rail.
FN P90
FN P90 is characterized by the following properties:
- caliber - 5.7 millimeters;
