This gun is a submachine gun

Every characteristic of this gun except the caliber is submachine gun. There are submachine guns with rifle caliber. This will be classified as submachine gun. Manufacturer classified as submachine gun. Developers classified as submachine gun. The military uses and operate the gun as submachine gun. Kadrun (talk) 16:59, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be reflected in the first line and type section on the table? It currently states it's an assault rifle and carbine. Alexha.dct (talk) 00:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What defines a submachine gun is the cartridge. A submachine gun that fires assault rifle rounds cannot be a submachine gun - it's a carbine (because a submachine gun is defined by being an automatic gun that fires pistol rounds - if it fires intermediate rounds, it is an assault rifle, if full power, then a battle rifle). The K1 is more comparable to the CAR-15 carbine or the AK-74U, both of which are assault carbines that are also used in the same role as a submachine gun, but those are not considered such. You can use a sword in the same role as a spear, but that will not make a sword a spear. Edward hahm (talk) 08:40, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
