SMG is a type of weapon in Free Fire that is specialized for close-range combat. While SMG generally has slightly lower damage than other types of weapons, they are known for their extremely high rate of fire and that's why they are able to even rival shotguns in close combats.

Here, we are going to look at the top 3 SMGs in Free Fire with the highest rate of fire.

1. MP40

The MP40 has been the strongest SMG in Free Fire for a very long time and it is all because of its insane rate of fire. The MP40 has the highest rate of fire out of all weapons in Free Fire (83).

The weakness of this weapon is that it is only effective in close-range combats, but then, still, it is one of the best weapons you can get to fight in close-range combats.

The MP40 also got a lot of strong skins since it has been around for a while now. That means you can even increase the rate of fire of the MP40 even more and absolutely destroy enemies.

It is the go-to choice for many players in tournaments even though they don't wear skin. That tells how powerful it is.

2. Vector

The Vector is the latest addition to the weapon collection of Free Fire. It is the first weapon that allows players to hold 2 guns with 2 hands. 2 guns in 2 hands means that you will deal double the damage. The Vector also has an extremely high rate of fire of 81, only lose to the MP40. With this much power, the vector can even be compared with the power of shotguns.

Even though it was just released, the Vector has become the favorite weapon of many players for close-range combats. The weakness of the Vector is that you cannot aim down sight but that is not a big problem at all in close-range combats. You need to pair the Vector with an AR such as SCAR or XM8 so you can handle mid-range combats.

The vector currently doesn't have any skin but  it will surely have some in the future considering how hot this weapon is.

3. Thompson

The Thompson has high damage (50) compared to other SMGs in Free Fire and it also has one of the weapons with the highest rate of fire (77) in the game. The Thompson is a strong weapon by itself, but it doesn't have any skin yet so it is a little bit underwhelming now.

Still the Thomson is a great weapon for beginners who don't have many weapon skins yet because it is still very strong even without skin.
