Best Endgame SMG and LMG?

[Garavar]

The general consensus seems to be that LWM4 and LVOA-C are the best ARs. But what is best SMG and LMG?

[Modest Mauser]

Best SMG is The House currently.

I should have said except for house since it's an exotic and has never dropped for me

[Greyhound]

LMG: MG5, SMG: MP7

Dont sleep on a first wave vector with good talents either

[jakesidian]

I really like the L86 and RPK because of their rof over the m249. I really wish they had the M240 Bravo in this game :(

As a recently returning player, I remember back when a lot of people wanted the Vector with Brutal/Deadly...is this still accurate?

The Wikia wiki page is helpful for getting up to speed on SMGs or just visualizing the names:

Here's The House SMG (modeled on SIG Sauer MPX), which I've not encountered:

I've beeen disappointed with the few Vectors I've picked up in loot. The Vector SMG in Killing Floor 2 is such a blast to use, and I just didn't find Division's iteration fun nor effective, though maybe it's more realisticaclly modeled in Division (in real ife videos it seems to have horrific kickback/recoil and is very difficult to aim precisely for any extended period).

I'm using a PP-19 last couple days (found one with exceptionally high DPS) after using the Navy MP5 variant for quite some time. I've had zero luck finding an Exotic SMG to date (only gotten exotic Assault Rifles and Pistols as rewards to this point).

I like SMG-9 for its rate of fire and then give it a 120% extended ammo clip.

In the absence of a House, I find myself using a Steyr AUG.
Higher damage and lower rof than the mp5, but better stability.
Equip it with an extended mag with 5% increased firing rate and the rof reaches 750+.

[GunsForBucks]

Before I got a house I liked the PP
It has a good fire rate combined with a good mag size.

LMG - Big Al, MG5 or M249

Best SMG- House and MP5, best LMG- Big Alejandro and L86.

[Fidller™]

For a HE SMG: MP5. MP-7 got nerfed so its decent. LMG HE go for a MG5. High RPM, perfect for Lonestar
