Today's entry into the Halo 3 Weapons Guide is the SMG.

Notes: The same overall concept applies as when using the Assault Rifle. As the enemy moves further away, you need to shorten your bursts more and more. The problem with the SMG, of course, is that it is much less effective at range than the AR. Luckily, the sheer number of bullets it puts into the air makes it a better choice then the AR at extremely close range. Dual wielding has a noticeable negative effect on accuracy.
