Editing Submachine gun (section)

===2010s===
By the early 2010s, [[assault rifle#Compact assault rifles|compact assault rifles]] and [[personal defense weapon]]s had replaced submachine guns in most roles.<ref name="Century. Ian Hogg 2000. p93"/>  Factors such as the increasing use of [[ballistic vest|body armor]] and logistical concerns have combined to limit the appeal of submachine guns. However, SMGs are still used by police (especially [[SWAT]] teams) for dealing with heavily armed suspects and by military [[special forces]] units for close-quarters combat, due to their reduced size, recoil and muzzle blast, and capability for sound suppression. Submachine gun designs adopted during this period include the [[Brügger & Thomet APC]] and [[SIG MPX]].
