They appeared after WWI. it's between the hands of cops and gangsters that they became famous. World war II made their use common in a military purpose. The submachine gun became, before the assault rifle, the favourite weapon of the infantry man in contact with ennemy, who can only rely on the high rate of fire and the low dimensions of his weapon in an narrow environnement. Until the end of the century, submachine guns spread throughout security forces, especialy in dangerous situations. Elite groups like SWAT frequently use this kind of weapon, which fits well to situations where saving the life of the opponent is no longer a priority.
