he VZ61 is a machine pistol
A machine pistol loads in the handle
Talk about accurate...
Pistol: pistol ammo, one shot per pull of the trigger (semi auto fire)
Machine pistol: pistol ammo, 3 burst fire OR fully auto, loads in the handle (or so I know they do)
Sub-machinegun: pistol ammo, carbine size, large magazine capacity, magazine separated from handle, fully automatic (that is, as long as you hold the trigger, it will fire)
Machinegun: large ammo, usually mounted on something, fully auto only
The thing with machine pistols and sub-machineguns is size and cartridge, as they can be regulated from semi-auto to burst fire to fully auto, the Vz61 is considered a sub-machinegun as it falls somewhere between these two 'cuz by size it is a machine pistol, but for general purposes, the rate of fire, overall form and cartridge capacity are those normally asociated with a Sub-machinegun, the same goes for the Beretta 93R, it is a handgun that can fire bursts or auto, yet, it is considered a machine pistol...
In any case, most are selective-fire capable, so that does not influence it's classification...
For any and all purposes in RE, something that fires quickly is a Machinegun, as the ammo comes labeled like that, any accuracy beyond that recognition in unnecesary (I think)... After all, this is a videogame forum, not a military, gunclub or airsoft one...
But I do appreciate accuracy...
