Assault Rifle vs SMG @ short range

[Mastigos]

Hello,
While the Assault Rifles of the game are undoubtedly better than SMGs at long and medium range, I'm wondering which has the (even slight) advantage at, say, 15-0m? Obviously this varies from gun-to-gun, but just a ballpark estimate would be nice.

Since I'm most interested in Jackal and Finka's ARs, maybe use those as examples?

Thank you!

on closer range the higer rof usually wins - mira's smg is deadly on close for example
but 15m its sort of even from my experience

smg is always the winner at close range. full auto a smg will outfire a riffle hands down. medium to long the damage falls off and the penalty is harsh. you can still would people but pray they do t pop your head with a rifle.

tldr?

close range smg will 95% of the time beat a AR

Unless that AR has a faster RoF.

Thats why i use laser sight on almost all of the SMGs in this game
