Wikipedia has an article on: Submachine gun

A submachine gun is an automatic weapon, smaller in size than an assault rifle, that fires pistol-caliber ammunition. Said term is widely abbreviated as SMG.

Easily maneuvered and with relatively good fire power, SMGs such as the MP5 are used all over the world by military and high-level law enforcement, as well as some criminal organizations.

In the Grand Theft Auto series, SMGs generally exceeds over Handguns in terms of fire rate, although fast-firing handguns exists (refered as Machine Pistols). Similarly, they are usually wielded with both hands, but some of them are wielded with just one hand.
