To add to that, fun-clip's to convert Glocks to fire full-auto are mostly illegal without additional licences from what I can see so that doesn't really apply either. Similarly the classification a manufacturer gives something isn't really applicable because they want to sell to the widest market and will adapt their product to suit, for example pistols are banned even with a firearms licence in the UK so manufacturers just extended the barrel and throw on a stock to make it into a rifle, so that's also kind of irrelevant. What I've come to learn is that it's commonly accepted that a SMG is an automatic pistol with a stock. That means that a TEC-9 with a stock is an SMG, and without a stock it's a pistol. This means that the classification would depend on the model and firing position of the weapon and (I haven't actually checked but) I assume the model is without the stock and therefore a pistol. The reason I'm changing to neutral and not to a +1 is that I still believe the hobo role is passive and doesn't need additional firepower as I previously mentioned. I can't see a good reason for a hobo to be firing a full-auto weapon, but I'm not totally against it either. If people really like the idea then I don't want to ruin anyone's fun by any means but I'm not an advocate for it either. 1 Link to comment

Tbh I agree but I also just really want more perma full auto pistols as they are just fun to use in general Link to comment
