I don't know of any other game, setting, or even reality where a submachinegun would ever be more useful in a straight up gun fight where both sides have body armor... maybe if someone made a subgun that fired .500 S&W Mags and all you have is like a single-shot .22 |

They are not firing projectiles.
And? We're talking about a society that can clone you on the molecular level and who has giant spaceships with forcefields and inertialess drop sistems that allows a soldier to drop from any height but ******* ablative composite materials is beyond their proficiency? Look, I can deal with weapons and armor in the EVE Universe being total and complete bullshit lacking any kind of sense, just don't try and justify that to me with unreasoned excuses that don't even make sense in-universe let alone out. |

Still, even low-tech stuff by futuristic "thousands of years in the future" setting is probably much superior than our most high-tech weapons. This is irrelavent though, balance is what's important, and SMGs are fine.
Man, it's amazing to me that the different factions of New Eden all used their advanced technology to make armor that can survive the entirety of a doublestacked rifle magazines and apply the same level of technology to SMGs, but that it seems to never occurred to them to apply these super advanced technologies to make their assault rifles better and do more than bounce off people like ******* spitballs. |
