Aliens: Colonial Marines - M39 Submachine Gun

The M39 Submachine Gun is a caseless (originally cased)* submachine gun developed by the Armat Battlefield Systems in the 2170s and was formerly used as a standard-issue SMG by the futuristic crayon eaters: United States Colonial Marines and the mercenaries of the mega-corpo endless screwups and obsessed with xenomorphs that is Weyland Yutani. It's most notable appearance is in a conflict where USS Sephora marines and the Wey-Yu PMCs had a mild disagreement over the USS Sulaco, which ended up both ships exploding and the marines stranded in LV-426.

The gun itself is outfitted with a dull yellow painted furniture with a lefty charging handle that also serves as a ejection port for fired cartridges, a box magazine that can carry 48 rounds but because L4D2 it was shoved with two more rounds, unusable ghost ring sights with glowy bits on it, a non-functional ammo counter and a buttstock that looks like it'll hurt your shoulders more than helping recoil control.

The rate of fire is this thing is crazy high even without it's magazine accelerator mod which makes it fuller auto.

It uses 9mm caseless (or cased) rounds that for some inexplicable reason, gives off way more extreme recoil than even the Pulse Rifle (and the Mk.2 for that manner)'s 10x24mm caseless, which one would wonder what in the hell they outfitted these rounds with despite that it doesn't offer much power compared to said rifle.

And by the way, this was supposed to be a canon weapon used by the crayon eaters, before it got decanonized and it's name taken over by Aliens: Fireteam Elite's very own M39 SMG, and yet this version appears in Dark Descent's reveal trailer in a split second so idfk.

The quite forgotten M39 Submachine Gun from the 2013 iteration of Aliens: Colonial Marines, serving as a replacer for the tier 1 weapon: the IMI Uzi (SMG).

TRIVIA

1. Did you know that Gearbox sabotaged Colonial Marines for Borderlands 2 and did almost nothing during development of the game? 90% of the thing may as well be a Timegate, Nerve and Demiurge game.

2. This gun was originally going to have cartridges flying out of the gun, if the shell tinkering sound effect every time you fire it isn't of any indication, yet it was removed in the game.

CREDITS
Timegate Studios, Nerve Software, Demiurge Studios - Sacrificing themselves for trying their best of making ACM despite it's dumpster fire status and it's assets.
Valve Software - their running animation. (I cannot be assed replicating the original game's run animation, too tedious.)
I.S.G. - General moron and idiot, weapon animation and half-baked renders, model port.
