C1 SMG

[Darth_Hamel]

Does anyone here have experience with the old C1 9mm SMG? Was it any good and is it missed? I know the rationale for dropping it was its limited range and stopping power, but given Canada's increased action in CQB does anyone have thoughts on whether we need a SMG at section level again? I know the C-8 fills a similar role but it still has recoil and weight roughlycomparable to the C-7.

The recoil of the C7/C8 are negligable, and *if* a submachine gun was needed there are many better options available then the C1.

Do a search, this has already been talked about.

The old SMG was unreliable. End of story.

Used both the MP5 and C1 and give me an MP5 anyday....

Yup. Run a 'Search'. We've covered this. Add to the existing thread if you have a need.
