P90s are SMGs, Sub-Machine gun is called such as they fire subsonic rounds and are fully automatic (meaning it shoots continuously when trigger is held down and the bullets don't exceed the sound barrier)+^_^+ if thee gun fire supersonic rounds, they are generally just called machine guns, the Browning Automatic Rifle and sturmgewehr 44 were among the first portable machine guns to fire supersonic rounds and paved the way to the modern rifles the military has+^_^+
EDIT, nevermind, more modern SMGs fire well into the 1600 MPH zone, which is supersonic+^_^+ i think SMG today refers more to the machine gun using non-armor piercing pistol caliber rounds+^_^+

*eye twitch* P90's are submachine guns...If you want to get technical, you could call them a PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) Some weapons have a fire selector that allows them to switch from full auto, to burst, to semi, but the fact of the matter is that the name "twin machine guns" Is a gross misnomer: It just isn't accurate.
This is what we're getting.
Spoiler!
This is a full fledged machine gun.
Spoiler!
Know the difference; respect the difference. *ahem*
Anyway, carry on.

I dont know if this has been mentioned in this (quite long) thread, but with the addition of all these great looking attacks that seem to met out massive amounts of damage, I am hoping that they are able to make the mobs much harder than they currently are, or they will be absolutely massacred
Sub-Machine Gun means precisely that "sub" or "not quite" or "not totally". When sub is applied to something in generally means that it has some relation to the thing being mentioned, but is beneath it in some way... in this context...
Machine Gun refers to the gun having several barrels that spin as it fires and is loaded via a strap
Sub-Machine gun is a gun that has a single barrel but is loaded via several barrels internally and combines pistols having a cartridge.
Automatic and sub/super sonic are completely different.
