Design and Performance

The SMG is a lighter and more compact machine gun and it is based on the real-life MP5A3. It has shorter magazines than the real gun and the iron sights are somewhat like the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1.

(The SMG in first person perspective)

The SMG can take out pedestrians in a single shot whereas a target that has armor on may require a few more hits. Non armored vehicles catch fire after emptying around 2 mags (60 rounds) on the engine of the vehicle and explode after 3 mags all on an average.

The automatic firing with the magazine capacity of 30 rounds makes this weapon very effective to take out multiple targets in a spray. However at longer ranges this gun does not perform well.

The iron sight too makes it difficult to aim and one cannot use the SMG in a drive-by shooting, as the gun is too large to be used as a drive-by weapon. The Micro SMG is used in drive-by shootings.

Trivia

The standard magazine for the SMG is modeled after a 15-round magazine (even though it holds 30 rounds in-game), and the extended magazine is modeled after a 30-round magazine (holding 60 rounds in-game).
The reload animation is similar to the HK Slap, a popular way to empty reload the MP5 by 'slapping' the charging handle of the weapon to lock it back into place.
In GTA IV both sides of the SMG features "MADE IN SCOTLAND" markings, alluding to GTA IV's Scottish developer Rockstar North.
