Before you even think about using a shotgun and turning to the dark side, sit down and take note.

Top 5 SMGs for CoD Vanguard! The best thing about these SMGs is that some of them are very good in CoD Warzone as well, so leveling them up will be very useful for you and your squad. Dive into these 5 options and you will find your soul mate. Good luck out there, soldiers!

5. Owen Gun

I am not surprised to see this SMG in the Meta even in Warzone. Thanks to its high damage, good recoil control, hip-fire accuracy, and smooth movement, the Owen Gun is a great choice for your games. It will make your Atomic grind way easier and more comfortable.

What makes Owen Gun great:

• Accuracy and Control
• Effective Damage Range
• Lethal at close- and medium-ranges
• Consistent Fire Rate

4. M1928

“High rate-of-fire and super high ammo capacity”. The Thompson might be a bit hard to control, especially when you try to reach those long-range kills. However, getting up close to your enemies’ respawn will get’em in big trouble. It might be a bit hard for you to get used to it, but just give it some time, and you’ll fall for the M1928 too. 

What makes M1928 great: 

• Fast Fire Rate
• Good Damage
• Aggressive player’s best friend

3. PPSH-41

The new bad boy. This gun’s hip-fire accuracy is extremely dangerous when you’re in front of the barrel. It fires absurdly fast and allows you to move like a ninja and get close to your opponents to eliminate them in the blink of an eye. It may be hard to control when your target is far away, but reaching it won't be a problem with this SMG.

What makes the PPSH-41 great:

• Insanely fast fire rate
• Great mobility
• Hip Fire Accuracy

2. MP-40

The best description for this gun is “still king”. Decent fire rate, high damage, and really good mobility. The MP-40 is a very functional weapon and allows you to play as aggressively as you want, but also cover medium-range distances. Why do you unlock this SMG at the start of the game? Because it is comfortable to use. Let’s just say that once you get used to it, there’s not much your enemies can do.

What makes the MP-40 great:

• Effective Damage Range
• Smooth Mobility
• Fast fire rate
• Friendly and comfortable for new players

1. Welgun

This is currently one of the most OP guns in the game and I’d even say it’s the best SMG right now. What makes the Welgun so good is its mobility and its fast fire rate. Besides that, it works perfectly both at close- and medium ranges. If one could describe this submachine gun in one word, I’d go for: versatile. 

What makes Welgun great:

• Lethal at short and medium ranges
• Fast fire rate
• Controllable Recoil
• Smooth character movement
