	The weapon is incorrectly referred to as 'Machine Gun' in-game and in the manual, when it is actually a submachine gun. The Machine Gun's visual design is ambiguous, but it seems to be based (poorly) on the [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD1]]. In the game, the Machine Gun has a 50-round magazine capacity, despite its clearly short 15-round magazine.
