Submachine Gun

Submachine Guns are a recurring Weapon Type in the Tomb Raider Series. They feature in nearly every game in the series.

Tomb Raider - Tomb Raider II
Uzis are small sub-machine guns, which fire at incredible speeds. They fire the same 9-mm ammunition and therefore have similar shot power to the Dual Pistols, but their higher rate of fire ensure that damage is dealt more quickly. The uzis can quickly kill endgame enemies such as the Atlantean mutants and Xian guardians. Ammo is very plentiful in Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider 2, but become much rarer in further installments. These gun appears in various games of the series and have the same characteristics, with the exception of the Silver Sub-Machine guns in Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which have double the firepower of regular Uzis and are only accessible by cheats.

The name "Uzi" on the first 3 games are a misnomer, since they are actually based on the Ingram MAC-10 This model also appears on Anniversary as the "Mini SMG". On TR4 and Chronicles, they are based on the IMI Micro-Uzi and based on the full-size Uzi on Underworld, albeit with a different stock. The "Mini SMGs" on Anniversary have a 25-round capacity (compared to the real MAC-10's 32 rounds) and 30 rounds on Underworld.

Deals 1 damage per bullet, dealing 2 damage if both are fired and has a firing rate 3 times faster than the default pistols.

Tomb Raider III
Two submachine guns appear in Tomb Raider III, The Uzis, making their return. And the MP5. On TRIII, the MP5 is based on a Heckler & Koch MP5 SD6 with an added scope. It is a great sub-machine gun, with great firepower and speed, useful to rapidly kill any enemy. But just like the M-16 from Tomb Raider II, Lara can't shoot it if she is running or jumping, she instead must do a battle stance to fire it. There is enough ammo for it so you don't have to worry.

Tomb Raider Chronicles
In Tomb Raider: Chronicles the MP5 returns. It has had the moderator at the front removed, likely to more closely resemble an MP5K. The scope also becomes functional, like that of the revolver, and firing modes can be selected between single-shot, burst and fully-automatic fire.

Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness
Two models of Submachine gun appear in Angel of Darkness. The MP5 returns, as the "Mag Vega", has select fire capabilities, and has a long Range. and the PP-19 Bizon appears as the "Viper Submachine Gun." It has a 70 round magazine and a suppressor.

Tomb Raider Legend
A variant of the MP5, the M94A3 appears as the MG415 SMG in Tomb Raider: Legend. Although the magazine looks like the standard 30-round magazine found on the real SMG, it has a 40-round capacity in game, likely to balance it against the assault rifle, since it allows Lara to carry 200 rounds instead of the assault rifle's 150, making up for its shortfalls in accuracy and power.

Tomb Raider Anniversary
Machine Pistols serve as the replacement for the Uzis from the original game. They appear to be based on the Ingram MAC 10s. Have 25 round magazines, and a maximum ammo carrying capacity of 250 rounds.

They can be found in Egypt on the Head of the Sphinx. They are later reaquired after Kold Kin Kade kills the Kid, in Natla's Mines, right before the final puzzle of the Level.

Tomb Raider Underworld
The IMI Uzi appears in Underworld as "Autsi submachine gun". It has a different stock and charging handle. Always dual-wielded. A formidable weapon with a high rate of fire and moderate accuracy.

Tomb Raider (2013)
Lara Aquires a Japanese WWII Type 100 Sumbamachine Gun, while in the Mountain base, while trying to get to the radio transmitter.

It has several available upgrades to increase stability, rate of fire and damage.

It is replaced by the Guerrilla Rifle after the first set of Rifle parts are found.
