Description (An update to an older SMG )

Overview:
Another invention by Herrick Stumna, the Stumna Machine-Pistol model 1977 is a compact sub-machine gun made for vehicle crews, artillery units, aviation crewmen, and backline units that otherwise would not want the bulkier STK-72 carbine. 

The STMP-77 is a response to the development of armor-piercing PDW's in much of the Western world. However, the 10x26mm cartridge was deemed sufficent for armor-penetration, with the 10P6N armor-piercing cartridge being developed in conjunction with the STMP-77. Being able to penetrate up to level IIIA armor plate and defeat most soft-armor.

While the STK-72 is preferred for most military operatiins, with the carbine having superior ballistics and power, it still remains much larger than the STMP-72, which can be fit into a holster when used with a flush magazine.
It is also much lighter than the STK-72, making it preferred for units that routinely handle heavy weights or need to move rapidly, such as special forces or logistical and artillery units.

Military Remarks:
"While the East was busy making new fancy Machine Pistols to punch through kevlar, we just made AP rounds, heh."
"I dual-wielded two once while the 'Sarge wasn't looking. Made me feel like that green power armor dude in that one Sbox game."
"I put maybe 4,000 rounds through her, she didn't jam once! More than my girlfriend can do."
"It's nice that it has a holster, but it's pretty damn heavy. Feels like it's trying to pull my belt off!"
"I suppose we all can't get those STK's but hey, this thing isn't that bad I guess."
"You know Ivan? He's in medbay. Idiot had his hand slip while firing and blew some fingers off! Fucking Dumbass!"
"Can anybody decide if it's a damn submachine gun, PDW, or machine pistol!?"
