- — In-game description
The Machine Pistol is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that is currently unreleased.
It was an updated version of the Submachine Gun (Pre-Season) and was later reworked into the Machine SMG.
Functionality[]
The Machine Pistol functions similar to other SMGs, being a fast firing, close range weapon. The Machine Pistol can hurt targets at longer ranges, but due to weapon spread and damage drop off it is exceedingly weak.
The Machine Pistol is a hitscan weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire. This spread is decreased whilst crouching.

Trivia[]

- It had been suggested/teased multiple times for its addition:
- A Creative Featured Island News page on July 21st 2020 featured the Machine Pistol in its image.
- The Google Play Store had shown an image of it.
- Confusion used to exist between this gun and the old Submachine Gun, as the weapons bore many similarities. Both weapons:
- Come in the same three rarities
- Are classed as Submachine Guns.
- Both modelled after real life machine pistols.
- Use the same WID in the game files.
- Have a similar function and statistics. The Machine Pistol also used to appear in the Unvaulted LTM, (Until the Machine SMG Was released) despite the weapon never being vaulted, if it was classed as a separate weapon.
