Quick answer
The USG-45 is a mid-sized military submachine gun chambered in .45 ACP. It fires slower than some lighter SMGs, but the larger caliber gives it stronger close-range stopping power. With low recoil, suppressor support, a 25-round magazine, western optic compatibility, and Universal Flashlight support, the USG-45 is a strong close-to-mid range SMG for military loot progression.
