TACTICS:
The SV-SMG is one of the fastest-firing automatic weapons that can be acquired in the city. Its high cyclic rate is hard to control and results in low accuracy, cause most of its shots to fail to strike its target. It's large, quickly-reloaded magazine lends itself to being used as a "spray-and-pray" weapon on the field. Issuing to an operator with a high Ranged Combat proficiency can remedy its weakness.
Recommended gear:
- Extended Mags increase the ammo capacity, allowing it to fire off more rounds before having to reload.
- Glasses increase its short engagement range, with some variants aiding the wearer in successfully striking their target.
- Weapon Cleaning Kits counteract the low accuracy, ensuring less ordnance is wasted.

WEAPON BRIEF:
A milestone in small arms technology, the SV-SMG features a unique vertically-canted firing mechanism that is designed to reduce the felt recoil and muzzle climb of the .45 ACP round it chambers. Its manufacturer intended to market the gun to military and law enforcement circles as both a PDW and a tactical SMG.
A new and expensive firearm, it is not known how many were sold prior to the outbreak.

Variations:

The SV-SMG has no modular variations.
