A fast-firing submachine gun able to quickly pepper a target with bullets at close range, using an incredibly short aiming time and cooldown period to fire before the enemy can react. This makes it ideal for hit-and-run attacks, especially in close encounter situations.

The Machine pistol is best utilized in confined quarters such as hallways, due to its limited range and low accuracy. Using it to spray raiders trying to enter a corridor will quickly stop their advance and buy time for a counter-attack. Do not expect the Machine pistol to outright kill very often when you need it to, however; light weapons like this work best when given time to work, wearing targets down with the death of a thousand cuts.

Trivia

The Machine pistol is virtually identical in design and pattern to the venerated Uzi 9mm sub-machine gun in real life. The Uzi is an SMG primarily in service with the Israeli military since 1954 to present day, using the 9x19 Parabellum cartridge with a rate of fire of over 600 rounds per minute. The Uzi has an effective range of over 200 meters and weighs 3.5kg (7.72 lbs) standard issue.
