"High recoil and spread coupled with an extremely high rate of fire make this weapon fairly ineffective at anything beyond short-medium range, but incredibly lethal up close."
M39 Submachine Gun description (from Aliens: Fireteam Elite)

The M39 Submachine Gun is a variant or an upgrade of the original M39 Submachine Gun used primarily by the United States Colonial Marine Corps in the early 23rd century.

Overview

The submachine-gun was designed by Armat Battlefield Systems originally for Brazilian counter-terrorism forces operating in the favelas on Earth. Its reliability led it to be used by rear-area forces, military police and urban assault teams. The M39 thus became among one of the most successful Armat firearms just after the M41 Pulse Rifle series.

Notable Users

The M39 submachine-gun was used by Colonial Marines from the USS Endeavor.
