Submachine guns, or SMGs for short, are powerful weapons for close to mid-range combats. Their firepower comes from the rapid-fire rate but lacks accuracy in the long run. In Garena Free Fire, SMGs are great to pick up at the early stages of the game, or combined with other weapons to make a lethal duo.

Here are the top 5 SMGs you should use in the Free Fire World Series Update.
