Yes and no. In the early days, a rifle was defined simply as a firearm with a rifled barrel and is intended to be fired from a shoulder. Most submachine guns (SMGs) fulfill both these requirements. However, in modern times, rifles are also characterized by large bottlenecked cartridges (eg. 7.62x51mm, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm), while submachine guns are characterized by the use of pistol cartridges (eg. 9x19mm, .45 ACP). So in most circles, the submachine gun is not considered a rifle.

Is a m4a1 a smg?
No. The technical definition of an SMG (submachine gun) is a carbine that fires pistol cartridges. The M4A1 carbine fires the same 5.56x45mm NATO intermediate rifle cartridge as its relative, the M16 assault rifle. Back in the day, the M4 may well have been called an SMG by the United States military, as the official designation for its predecessor, the XM177, was "Submachine Gun, 5.56 mm, XM177". However, today the M4 is classified as a carbine by the military.
