Armaguerra OG-43
The Armaguerra OG-43 was available during the "Reinforcements received: Tunisian paratroopers" event from October 5, 2023. It is available to an Axis Paratrooper squad in Tunisia, namely the 185th Paratroopers Division "Folgore", 2nd Paratroopers Regiment squad.
Austen Mk I
The Austen Mk I is a primary weapon of the event Allied Assaulter squad, namely the Australian 25th Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division squad. It was available as a reward for the Operation “New Year's Breakthrough operation” event that took place on 22th of December, 2022.
It uses Australian-produced 30-round magazines that were made for Austen rather than 32-round magazines that were normally seen on other Sten variants.
The Austen in-game actually shares its magazine pool with other Sten submachine guns, which can result in Austen using a 32-round Sten magazine with the appearance of a 30-round Austen one. In other words, a player could pick up a "Sten Mk II magazine" that has 32 rounds, then these 32 rounds will then be added to the ammunition reserve for the Austen, but the model of the new magazine reloaded will still be a 30-round one: once player reload, there will be 32 rounds in a 30-round magazine, which is a lack of detail.
Beretta Model 1
The Beretta Model 1 is available in Battle of Tunisia campaign to Axis forces where it is unlocked at Campaign Level 9 independently from any squad.
Beretta Model 38A (Early)
The early model of Beretta Model 38A appears as "Beretta M38", where it is equipped on all members of a premium German Paratrooper squad, namely the 2nd Parachute Regiment, Ramcke Parachute Brigade squad. It comes pre-equipped with a bayonet.
Beretta Model 38A
The Beretta Model 38A with a 20 round magazine is available only in the Battle of Moscow campaign, where it is, incredibly and unreasonably unlocked along with Assaulter III squad (a German unit) at Axis Campaign Level 30, which means that its Soviet opponent will be PPSh-41 with completely overwhelming stats. Thankfully, after the "Merge" update, the Battle Rating of this weapon is reasonably set to I; and at this point, Italian troops could finally be seen on the battlefields of Moscow.
This version with 20-round magazines was treated as a separate model from the following 40-round magazine version, which means that their magazines are not interchangeable or could resupply each other.
Beretta Model 38A with 40 round magazine
The Beretta Model 38A with a 40 round magazine is present in Invasion of Normandy, Battle of Berlin and Battle of Tunisia campaigns where it is available as an Axis unlockable submachine gun. In all three campaigns, it is unlocked fairly late into campaign, with Normandy and Berlin versions not being tied to any particular squad and being unlocked at Campaign Level 29 and 26 and Tunisia version being unlocked at Campaign Level 33 along with Assaulter III squad. Although there is no difference in other stats, this weapon has a Battle Rating of IV after the "Merge" update purely due to the extended magazine.

The Beretta Model 38/42 is present in Battle of Tunisia campaign as an unlockable weapon that is available to Axis forces. It is unlocked at Campaign Level 26 independently from any squad.

It is unlocked at Campaign Level 2 along with Assaulter squad in Battle of Moscow campaign and Medic squad in Battle of Stalingrad campaign.
Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 (late model)

The Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 with a Snail drum magazine is a gift for the game's 4th birthday. The birthday event lasted from November 11, 2024 to December 9, 2024.
Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 (Snail drum) - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. An example of a screw magazine manufactured at the Tula plant. The magazine is technically a double-row box magazine. It was tested in PPD-34/38 early and late model.
Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 (late model) with 25 round magazine
The Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 with a 25 round magazine used to be the starting SMG for Soviet forces in Battle of Moscow and Battle of Stalingrad campaigns before it was replaced by the aforementioned PPD-34 submachine gun.
Late Degtyaryov PPD-34/38 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. This is a late version, produced in 1940 before the introduction of the PPD-40.
Degtyaryov PPD-40
The Degtyaryov PPD-40 is available in Battle of Moscow and Battle of Berlin campaign to Allied forces. In Battle of Moscow, it is unlocked at Campaign Level 26 along with Assaulter II squad fairly late into the campaign. In Battle of Berlin it serves as the middle of the road submachine gun and an upgrade in terms of magazine size over earlier PPS-42/43 and PPSh-41 with a 35-round magazine and is unlocked at Campaign Level 20 independently from any squad.
Degtyaryov PPD-40 with fictional BraMit suppressor
A suppressed PPD-40 fitted with a fictional BraMit suppressor was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 5, which started on 30 March 2022, and is available for the Soviet faction. It is intended to represent a real prototype that was tested by the Red Army in 1941. Since the original gun is now thought to be lost, the game model is based on a modern artist's impression of the suppressed PPD-40, based on a written description and, therefore, is not an accurate depiction of the real prototype.
Degtyaryov PPD-40 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. This is a photoshopped interpretation of a genuine silenced variant of the PPD-40, which is now lost.
Degtyaryov PPD-40 DSZ
The Degtyaryov PPD-40 DSZ is a weapon that is equipped on all members of one of premium Allied Assaulter squads in Battle of Berlin campaign, namely, the 120th Guards Rifle Division, 336th Rifle Regiment squad.
A rather unique PPD-40 variant, it is fitted with a muzzle brake and bayonet lug for mounting an SVT-40 bayonet that is actually utilized in the game for this exact purpose. Alongside these unique details, various other manufacturing changes are also represented, such as a rather distinct looking bolt handle. The name "DSZ" is an abbreviation of "Dalnevostochniy Sudostroitelniy Zavod" (Far Eastern Shipbuilding Plant) as the weapon is based on a limited run of PPDs produced by (of all things) Shipyard #202 in Vladistovok between 1942 and 1943.
Degtyaryov PPD-42
The Degtyaryov PPD-42 was introduced into the game with the start of Battle Pass number 2 which started on 22 June 2021 and is available for the Soviet faction.
Erma EMP
The Erma EMP serves as a primary weapon of one of several Axis Assaulter squads in Invasion of Normandy, namely, the 16th Field Divsion, 46th Jager Regiment squad. It appears to be a hybrid of the German and Spanish variants of the EMP, incorrectly featuring both the sights and forward safety catch of the German EMP and the oval-shaped cocking handle of the Spanish EMP, features that were never seen together in any real guns.
Erma EMP - 9x19mm Parabellum. This is a later model. Note the fixed rear sights and the safety latch in front of the bolt handle.
Erma EMP with suppressor
A suppressed Erma EMP was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 5, which started on 30 March 2022, and is available for the German faction.

FNA-B Mod. 43
The FNA-B Mod. 43, which was incorrectly referred to as "FNAB-43" in-game, was originally available in the Invasion of Normandy and Battle of Tunisia campaigns for the Axis forces. In Normandy, it is a regular unlockable weapon that is unlocked at Campaign Level 5 independently from any squad, while in Tunisia, it is equipped on all mebmers of one of two premium Axis Assaulter squads, namely, the 136th Armoured Division, 8th Bersaglieri Regiment squad.
The weapon was originally intended for the Italian Royal Army, it was later produced for the Italian Social Republic and German occupation troops from 1944 - 1945. Therefore, it is incorrect for the game to include it in the battlefield of Normandy and Tunisia. After the "Merge" update, this weapon with a total production of only 1000 pieces is still researchable and can further appear on the maps in Moscow.
Haenel MP 28/II
The Haenel MP 28/II with a 20 round magazine appears as an early submachine gun in Battle of Moscow, Battle of Tunisia and Battle of Stalingrad campaigns that is available to Axis forces. In all three campaigns it is unlocked as early as Campaign Level 2, with Battle of Moscow and Battle of Tunisia versions being tied to Axis Assaulter squad and Battle of Stalingrad version being tied to Medic squad.

The Nambu Type I is a primary weapon of the Giretsu Paratroopers, Teishin Division squad, a premium Axis Assaulter squad in Pacific War campaign that is unlocked when "Special Landing Forces" campaign upgrade bundle is purchased.
Nambu Type II
The Nambu Type II is an unlockable weapon in Pacific War campaign where it is available to Axis forces. It is unlocked along with Assaulter III squad at Campaign Level 25. Despite the fact that this gun shares the exact same action as the Nambu Type I, it is animated differently, depicted incorrectly as firing from a closed bolt. The barrel jacket does not stay set back when the weapon is cocked.
Nambu Type 100/40
The Nambu Type 100/40 appears as "Type 100 SMG (Early)", reflecting its status as the older model of Type 100 SMG. It is unlocked at Axis Campaign Level 6 in Pacific War campaign independently from any squad. It comes pre-equipped with Type 30 bayonet.
Nambu Type 100/40 Paratrooper
The Nambu Type 100/40 Paratrooper appears as "Type 100 paratrooper SMG" in Pacific War campaign, where it is equipped on all members of a premium Axis Medic squad, namely the 4th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division squad. It comes pre-equipped with Type 2 bayonet.

Owen Mk 1/42
The Owen Mk 1/42 is available in Battle of Tunisia and Pacific War campaigns to Allied forces. In Battle of Tunisia, it is equipped on all members of one of the Allied Assaulter squads, namely, the Australian 9th Infantry Division 2/24th Battalion squad. In Pacific War campaign, it is a regular unlockable weapon that is unlocked along with Assaulter II squad at Campaign Level 15. In both campaigns, the Owen gun features no camo which would make it anachronistic since all war-time Owen SMGs were coming from the factory with its iconic camo applied already. It should be also noted that while the usage of Owen exclusively by Australian-themed squad in Battle of Tunisia campaign is correct and fits the timeline, the fact that it is unlocked along with the USMC regiment is not because Owen gun was not adopted by any of the US Armed Forces branches during the World War 2.
PPBV-42 Bezruchko-Vysotsky
The PPBV-42 Bezruchko-Vysotsky was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 12, which started on 30 January 2024, and is available for the Soviet faction.

It is interesting that although only two pieces of this weapon were produced, they were provided for use by all members of the four-person squad in-game.
PPS-42
The PPS-42 is available in Battle of Berlin and Battle of Stalingrad campaigns to Allied forces. In Battle of Berlin, it serves as a starting submachine gun for the Soviets, unlocked from the beginning along with the Assaulter squad. In Battle of Stalingrad, it is unlocked much later into campaign at Campaign Level 16 along with Assaulter II squad.
Not an isolated case, although the in-game description claimed that this early modification of the Sudayev SMG has a higher muzzle velocity thanks to its longer barrel compared with the PPS-43, both modifications actually share the same 450 m/s muzzle velocity.
A "PPS-42 (Red)" that reflected a break on the standards of oxidizing the weapon's components was introduced as an event reward multiple times. The first time was during the "Victory in Europe Day!" event in May 6 2022. This variant, although it was intended to be a skin of the weapon, had situations where the damage was higher than its original version (6.9 vs. 6.7, which reduces the minimum number of bullets required to kill an enemy).
PPS-43
The PPS-43 used to available in Battle of Berlin campaign to Allied forces, and was unlocked at Campaign Level 8 independently from any squad. After the "Merge" update, the Battle Rating of both 42 and 43 models is set to be level II. The weapon serves as an alternative to the PPS-42 in terms of its stats. Compared to the PPS-42, the PPS-43 is depicted as having significantly higher firing rate (800 RPM vs. 690 RPM), faster reloading speed, and slightly smaller dispersion, but slightly higher recoil.
A German captured version also appears in the game under the name "MP 719(r)", available for a premium Guerrilla squad "25/82nd Volkssturm Battalion".It is physically identical to the original model.
Reising M50
The Reising M50 is available in Invasion of Normandy and Pacific War campaigns to Allied forces. In Invasion of Normandy campaign, it serves as a weapon of choice of one of several premium Allied Assaulter squads, namely, the 101st Airborne Division, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment. In Pacific War campaign, it serves a starting SMG for Allied forces, being unlocked almost immediately at Campaign Level 2 along with the Medic squad. While Reising M50 was indeed used by the US Marine Corps in the beginning of the Pacific campaign, it wasn't adopted by the US Army, making its appearance in the Normandy campaign questionable.
Reising M55
The Reising M55 is equipped on all members of a premium Allied Medic squad in the Pacific War campaign, namely the 147th Infantry Regiment, V Amphibious Corps.
Schmeisser MK 36/III
The Schmeisser MK 36/III was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 1, which started on 6 April 2021, and is available for the German faction.
Shpagin PPSh-40
An Shpagin PPSh-40 is available in the game in two versions. The first one, simply known as the "PPSh-41" in the game, is currently unused in any campaign.
Another variant is known as the "MP 717(r)" and serves as the last unlockable submachine gun for Axis forces in Battle of Stalingrad campaign. It is unlocked along with Assaulter III squad at Campaign Level 24 and is identical in appearance to the unused version otherwise, even down to sharing its magazine pool with a Soviet PPSh-41 - which is somewhat incorrect in the game for it is described as firing 7.63mm ammunition. After the "Merge" update, this "MP 717(r)" was not presented on the Germany tech tree, therefore it is not available for new players.
The in-game model features an early production tangent rear sight that is combined with a hooded front sight of later production models.
Shpagin PPSh-40 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Unmodified submachine guns that were captured by the German forces entered the service under MP 717(r) designation and were using 7.63x25mm Mauser rounds that were more or less dimensionally identical to Soviet 7.62x25mm rounds and, as such, could safely cycle in PPSh-41.
Shpagin PPSh-41 (early model)
The Shpagin PPSh-41 (early model). Premium model based on early production models from 1941-1942. This model is called "PPSh-41 Parkerized". The "Parkerized" variant is equipped on all members of a premium Soviet Assaulter squad, namely the 3rd Infantry Battalion, 154th Separate Marine Infantry Brigade.
Shpagin PPSh-41 "Obrez 2"
The second version of the shortened PPSh-41 is available to unlock alongside the Guerilla II squad at Tier 2 in the Germany tech tree. Compared to the Soviet version, it has a much shortened barrel without a front sight and a specially profiled pistol grip instead of a sawed-off stock.
Shpagin PPSh-41 (late model)
The Shpagin PPSh-41 with a 35-round magazine is correctly modeled with a later magazine well. Such a modified socket was put into production in 1942 with the introduction of box magazines. The weapon is normally unlockable for every player. Interestingly, although it cannot be directly viewed in-game, the spread stats of this PPSh-41 is a very low 0.25, representing that the weapon has a better accuracy than many self-loading rifles.
Shpagin PPSh-41 (late model) with 71 round magazine
The Shpagin PPSh-41 with a 71-round drum magazine is based on a later model with a modified magazine well.
Despite the fact that the game description states that it has a lower rate of fire and shorter effective range compared to Degtyaryov's submachine guns, it actually has a higher rate of fire compared to the PPD-34(/38) or PPD-40 (1000 rounds per minute in compared to the 800 rpm PPD-34 or 900 rpm PPD-40) and almost identical effective damage ranges, with the only real part of the description being a slightly faster reload compared to the PPD-34/38 with a drum magazine.
The stats of this weapon is basically the same as the box magazine version, except for a larger ammunition capacity, very slightly lower vertical recoil (23 to 22) and a spread to return to normal levels (0.25 to 0.82). After the "Merge" update, the Battle Rating of this weapon is set to be level V, which means its counterparts could be the German Assault rifles.
Shpagin PPSh-41 "Obrez 1"
A later production version of the PPSh-41 with a shortened barrel and sawed-off stock. It is available to unlock alongside the Guerilla II squad at Tier 2 in the Soviet tech tree. The PPSh-41 had a right to exist in this form at the time.
"PPSh-41W"
The "PPSh-41W" was available during the 2022 "Iron Sky" April Fool's Day event.
Shpagin PPSh-42 (early model)
The Shpagin PPSh-42 (early model), referred in-game as "PPSh-2", is a primary weapon of a premium Allied Medic squad in the Battle of Stalingrad campaign, namely the 150th Medical Battalion, 51st Guards Infantry Division.
Shpagin PPSh-45
The Shpagin PPSh-45 was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 16, which started on 15 January 2025, and is available for the Soviet faction.
Shpitalny PPSh-40
The Shpitalny PPSh-40 was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 7, which started on 4 October 2022, and is available for the Soviet faction.
SIG Bergmann
The SIG Bergmann / SIG M1920 is erroneously referred to in the game as the "MP 28 (7.65 mm)"; the real MP28 is a different submachine gun entirely (though both are derived from the Bergmann MP18), and was never offered in 7.65x21mm Parabellum like the SIG was. It is unlocked along with the Assaulter II squad at Campaign Level 15. While the Imperial Japanese Navy did use some SIG Bergmanns (and not, as many sources have claimed, MP28s - the former are often mistaken for the latter), under the designation "Type Be", these were exclusively chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser, not 7.65x21mm Parabellum; they also featured a distinctive bayonet mount that the in-game gun lacks.
Note the distinctive magazine well with a bottom-mounted catch, a key feature of the SIG (and not the Haenel).
A look at the weapon in third-person shows off its other distinctive features, namely the rounded cocking handle (as opposed to the MP28's hook-shaped one) and the lack of a fire selector above the trigger guard.
SIG M1930
The SIG M1930 was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 12, which started on 30 January 2024, and is available for the Japan faction, which never adapted this weapon.
This later model of SIG Bergmann has a selective-fire trigger, but in-game it could only fire in full-auto.
Sten Mk II (Canadian)
A Canadian model of Sten Mk II appears simply as the "Sten Mk II". It is unlocked along with Allied Assaulter II squad at Campaign Level 22 in Invasion of Normandy campaign and with the basic Assaulter squad at Campaign Level 2 in Battle of Tunisia campaign. Like it is the case with a lot of Commonwealth-produced weapons in the Normandy campaign, while the fact that Sten is present in the campaign is not necessarily incorrect due to the presence of Commonwealth troops during the real Normandy operation, the fact that it is unlocked along with the US Army squad (in this case, a regiment in the 101st Airborne Divsion) is incorrect because it wasn't adopted by any branch of the US Armed Forces.
Sten Mk IIS (Canadian)
A Canadian version of Sten Mk II(S) is equipped on all members of a 4th Airborne Division, 1st Special Air Service Brigade squad, an event-exclusive Allied Assaulter squad for Battle of Tunisia campaign that was available as a reward for the Operation “Silent Hunter” event that took place on July 21st, 2022.
Sten Mk III
The Sten Mk III is a primary weapon of one of the two premium Allied Assaulter squads in the Battle of Tunisia campaign, in this case, the British 7th Armored Division, 131st Infantry Brigade squad. Unlike the Austen Mk I that was mentioned before, any of the Sten variants are incapable of using Austen magazines in the game.
Steyr-Solothurn S1-100 / MP 34(ö)
The Steyr MP 34 is present in Invasion of Normandy and Pacific War campaigns where it is available to Axis forces. In Invasion of Normandy, it appears under its German "MP 34(ö)" designation, chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, and is unlocked from the beginning along with Assaulter squad. In Pacific War, it appears under its original "S1-100" designation and features slightly different textures on top of SG 84/98 III bayonet that is present in other campaigns on some German rifles. It's incorrectly chambered in 7.65mm, while the actual Japanese S1-100 is chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser. The "S1-100", similarly to its Normandy couterpart, is also unlocked really early into the campaign, with it being unlocked along with the Medic squad at Campaign Level 2.

Suomi KP/-31 SJR
The Suomi KP/-31 SJR is currently present only in the mission editor.
Sichuan Thompson
The Sichuan Thompson is introdued in the "Tigers of Burma" update in December 2024 for the USA faction. It was referred as "Thompson 7.63" in-game and equipped on all five members of a premium Chinese squad, namely the 113th Infantry regiment, New 38th Division.
This Thompson copy was never used by this unit, or in Burma, as it was reverse-engineered for Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang's troops in small quantity. The Chinese forces in Burma were equipped with lend-lease Thompson M1928A1 and M1A1s.
It does not have a bayonet in-game.
Thompson M1
The Thompson M1 is present in Invasion of Normandy and Battle of Tunisia where it is used by Allied troops. It becomes available at level 32 in the Invasion of Normandy campaign along with the Assaulter III squad and at level 22 in the Battle of Tunisia campaign along with the Assaulter II squad.
Thompson M1A1
The Thompson M1A1 is present in Invasion of Normandy and Battle of Tunisia campaigns, once again, available for use by the Allies. In both campaigns, for reasons unknown, it becomes available earlier than M1 variant, with Normandy version being unlocked at Campaign Level 29 and Tunisia version being unlocked at Campaign Level 14, in both cases independently from any squad.
Thompson M1921A
The Thompson M1921A with a 20 round box magazine was available as a reward for the "Operation "Snow Mayhem"" event that took place on December 17, 2024.
Thompson M1921A with 100 round drum magazine
The Thompson M1921A with a 100 round drum magazine was available as a reward for the "Reinforcement received: NKVD" event that took place on September 9th, 2024. It's equipped on all members of the 7th Motorized Infantry Regiment, 2nd Special Purpose Motorized Infantry Division of the NKVD Internal Troops squad, an event-exclusive Soviet Assaulter squad.
Thompson M1921AC
The Thompson M1921AC with a 50 round magazine is currently unused in the game and is only present in the mission editor.
Note how the first and third person markings don't seem to contradict each other. This will be important in the Thompson M1928 section.
Thompson M1928
The Thompson M1928 with a 30 round magazine is referred to in the game as "Thompson M21/28 (box magazine)", referring to the fact that some of the early Thompson M1928 SMGs were in fact just factory refitted M1921 SMGs.
It is available to Allied forces in Battle of Tunisia and Battle of Stalingrad campaigns, in case of the latter, representing the fact that a number of Thompson submachine guns was delivered to Soviet Union as part of the lend-lease program. In both campaigns, it is unlocked independently from any squad at Campaign Levels 26 and 21. After the "Merge" update, the "Thompson M21/28 (box magazine)" was not included in the tech tree of the Soviet Union, which means new players will not be able to research them. However, Soviet players who unlocked them can still bring purchased SMGs in battles.
Note the U.S. Navy marking on the receiver, as well as what appears to be an overstamped 8 in the weapon designation, confirming the weapon's identity as an early refitted M1921 Thompson.
Note how, unlike the first person model, the third person model seems to have an identity crisis, still having original M1921 markings and not proudly bearing a U.S. Navy marking on its side.
Thompson M1928 with 20 round magazine
The Thompson M1928 with a 20 round magazine is referred to in the game as the "Thompson M1928 USMC". It is a primary weapon of the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, 1st Marine Division squad, a premium Allied Assaulter squad in Pacific War campaign that is unlocked when "Special Landing Forces" campaign upgrade bundle is purchased.
Similarly to its 30-round brethren, a USMC M1928 first-person model doesn't seem to contradict its in-game designation as the M1928, once again, featuring a U.S. Navy marking and an overstamped 8 over the original 1 in M1928.
And, once again, third person markings seem to try really hard to convince us that this is a Thompson M1921 instead.
Thompson M1928A1
The Thompson M1928A1 with a 30 round magazine is the last Allied submachine gun to be unlocked in Invasion of Normandy campaign. It is unlocked at Campaign Level 38 independently from any squad.
M1928A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine and early 'simplified' rear sight that would be adopted for the M1 Thompson - .45 ACP (11.43x23mm)
Thompson M1928A1 with 50 round magazine
The Thompson M1928A1 with a 50 round magazine is the last Allied submachine gun to be unlocked in Battle of Tunisia campaign. It is unlocked at Campaign Level 33 along with the Assaulter III squad.
Thompson M1928A1 with 100 round magazine
The Thompson M1928A1 with 100 rounds magazine is a primary weapon of 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division squad in the Invasion of Normandy campaign. It's part of the Paratrooper class pre-order pack, which was announced on April 5, 2023.

Tokarev PPT-27
The Tokarev PPT-27 is equipped on all members of a premium Allied Assaulter squad in Battle of Moscow campaign, namely the 1308th Infantry Regiment, 18th Infantry Division.
Tokyo Arsenal Model 1927
The Tokyo Arsenal Model 1927, referred in-game as "Tokyo Arsenal SMG" was added after the update "New Era". In the game, it is researchable weapon with its Battle Rating was set to be IV, representing that it can be equipped in large quantities, which is anachronistic; and will confront with Allied weapons such as the M1 Thopmson and even the M1 Garand.
Its stats in-game could just be described as crazy. With a firing rate of 1200 RPM, a recoil of 28/6 (both are unupdated condition) and the 50-round drum magazine, the Tokyo Arsenal SMG can easily crush even more advanced Allied counterparts. According to Japanese records, its historical firing rate should be around 600 RPM.
Compared with the photo, we can see that the model in-game missed some details on the receiver. Considering the enclosed magazine, it can be assumed that the developers are actually modeling based on a modern replica.
Type Be
The Type Be appears as the "SIG 1920" and is available to Axis forces in the Pacific War campaign. It is currently the last item to be unlocked at Campaign Level 29 independently from any squad.
Unlike the previously mentioned SIG Bergmann (which wrongly referred as "MP 28 (7.65 mm)"), this version features a characteristic bayonet mount available for the Japanese version of the weapon. It is actually utilized in the game in order to mount a Type 30 bayonet. However, despite the addition of this bayonet mount, the in-game weight marked for this "SIG 1920" is 4.2 kg (9.2 lb), which is significantly lower than that of 5.4 kg (11.9 lb) of the "MP 28 (7.65 mm)".
TZ-45
The TZ-45 is equipped on all members of one of several premium Axis Assaulter squads in Invasion of Normandy campaign, namely, the 1st Panzer Division, the 1st Panzergrenadier Regiment squad (actually a censored Waffen-SS unit).

Wz. 39 Mors
The Wz. 39 Mors was introduced into the game with the start of battle pass number 12, which started on 30 January 2024, and is available for the German faction.
Yazikov KPPYa
The Yazikov KPPYa was introduced into the game as "Yazikov SMG" with the start of battle pass number 14, which started on 28 August 2024, and is available for the Soviet faction. Unlike other submachine guns in the game, the "Yazikov SMG" is classified as a sidearm and thus can be equipped by all soldier classes.
ZK-383
The ZK-383 is available in Invasion of Normandy to Axis forces where it is unlocked at Campaign Level 26 independently from any squad.
