It’s reallly amazing that people who enforce our laws don’t know the difference between a machine gun and a sub-machine gun.

Machine guns are belt fed whereas submachine guns are magazine fed.

I’m pretty sure you meant “clip” fed. No? LOL!

I thought the difference was that submachine guns used sub-sonic/pistol ammunition, while a machine gun used high-velocity/rifle ammunition.

"Machine guns are belt fed whereas submachine guns are magazine fed."

That's a silly definition. Is an M249 SAW a submachine gun when you use magazines with it, and does it become a machine gun when you hook up a belt?
