Advantages:

  • Compact
  • Concealable
  • High rate of fire

Disadvantages:

  • Effective combat range generally limited to less than 100 meters
  • Pistol cartridges used in SMGs don't offer the best penetrating or stopping power
  • They tend to use long magazines which load from the bottom of the weapon, and this makes them difficult to use in the prone position (some exceptions to this are the Australian Owen with a top mounted magazine, and the MP28, STEN, Patchett, and Sterling SMGs, which use side mounted magazines)

What submachine guns were used in WW1?

During World War I, submachine guns were still in their infancy, and only a few prototypes were developed. The most notable was the Italian Villar-Perosa, which was designed in 1915 and used primarily by aircraft and some infantry units. The German MP18, introduced in 1918, is often recognized as the first true submachine gun, but it saw limited use before the war ended. Overall, submachine guns played a minimal role in WWI compared to later conflicts.
