The Micro SMG is a weapon appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Shrewsbury in GTA V and GTA Online.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City, the Micro SMG assumes a more realistic design based on the 3D Universe's Micro SMG featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, with the same grey color. The "A-F-S" fire selector markings on the gun, in addition to the lack of a folding stock hinge, confirm that it is a full-auto converted Uzi Pistol (whereas the military Micro Uzi has "A-R-S" markings instead). Its compact design allows the character to hold it with either a single hand or with two hands for more accurate shots. Much like in the 3D Universe, it is often favored by criminals and gang members. The Micro SMG has a 50-round magazine capacity (even though the model shows the dimensions of a 32-round magazine). There is also a golden variant that appears in The Ballad of Gay Tony, called the Gold SMG.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the Micro SMG appears to be based on the Micro Uzi with bare elements from the full-size Uzi. It seems to have a small collapsible stock, but is never used.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Micro SMG is modeled after the Mini Uzi, which is an intermediate size between the full-sized Uzi and the compact-sized Micro Uzi. The weapon is now depicted with a folding stock and features Picatinny rails on it, suggesting it also has elements from the Uzi Pro, an improved version of the Micro Uzi with the aforementioned parts, allowing it for putting attachments.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City[]
The Micro SMG has a very limited range, similar to that of the Pistol, and will kill multiplayer enemies with about 5 headshots or 10-15 bodyshots. It is one of the weakest weapons in the game, and should only used in close quarters combat and drive-bys because of its incredible rate of fire. Its ammo per magazine means the player can damage the target's car enough to damper their mobility (i.e. having more chances to pop the car's tires), and in close range, they can neutralize the target quickly.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the Micro SMG has a 50-round magazine capacity and deals a good amount of damage, however it has very limited range. While it is better than the Pistol or the Twin Pistols, the Micro SMG is easily outclassed by the SMG, although it still has a higher capacity per magazine than the aforementioned weapon.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Micro SMG has one of the lowest magazine capacities of any automatic weapon, holding only 16 rounds, but can be extended to 30 rounds, offering more chances to neutralize a target and not running out of ammo quickly.
The Micro SMG deals the lowest damage in its class, dealing only 21 damage per shot. This low damage profile is a large drawback, making the Micro SMG easily outclassable by other weapons. However, the fire rate is one of the highest in the game, at 600 rounds per minute.
The Micro SMG has mediocre accuracy: viewkick is high in first-person view, and so is spread in third-person view. It is advised not to use the weapon at long range, as the player will likely miss more shots than not.
The magazine capacity combined with the high fire rate makes reloading frequent. The Extended Clip attachment is a recommended purchase to reduce the risk of having to reload during combat.
The Micro SMG shares the same attachment selection as most other submachine guns. As mentioned above, the Extended Clip boosts magazine size to 30, making reloads less frequent. The Silencer is an effective attachment due to the already low damage per shot, making the damage nerf less noticeable. The Scope is a good replacement for iron sights in first person view, and the Flashlight can help the player illuminate areas at night.
In conclusion, the Micro SMG is an average weapon, with low damage but effective fire rate. It is mostly effective for short-range combat and drive-bys, though it is easily outclassed by various other weapons.
