So, I was thinking about what role the SMG plays: Generally (VERY GENERALLY) it is outdone by the rifle at long-mid range, and outdone by the shotty at close-mid range. My suggestion is this: Make the SMG the 'stealth' gun. No tracers, and either a very quiet, or silent, sound for it, as if it had a silencer. I think this would balance it out, and it isn't a huge change. To clarify, there should be SMG sounds client-side, but maybe not server-side (or very quiet server-side)

Watcha think yall?
