The Vermin SMG utilizes a downward pointed recoil force together with an inline design, moving barrel to line with the shooters shoulder and hand to reduce the amount of recoil as well as muzzle climb. This greatly enhances the weapon's accuracy.
The Vermin is a personal defence weapon that uses a delayed blowback, closed bolt operation, and is chambered to fire the .45 ACP round.
It loads from 30-round box magazines, and can achieve an impressive fire rate of up to 1,200 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 280 m/s. The Vermin can be fitted with optical sights on its top rail and can also mount attachments onto its muzzle. Although it does not have a side rail to attach laser pointers, it can fit a custom-designed flashlight in the notch located just above the end of the barrel.
With the exception of the ADR-97, the Vermin is generally superior to all other submachine guns in close quarters due to its (relatively) greater damage output and to high rate of fire. However, this advantage somewhat falls off at distances of 200 metres and beyond - particularly against armoured targets and thin cover such as wooden walls.
Nonetheless, it retains the highest fire rate out of all SMGs and, being relatively compact, makes for an excellent weapon for both vehicle crews and when fighting in close quarters.
Ironsights[]
The Vermin's ironsights can zeroed between two fixed ranges of either 100 metres or 200 metres. However, neither the front nor rear sight are illuminated.
If an optical sight is attached onto the rail, the Vermin will only permit an absolute maximum zeroing of 400 metres even if the optic itself supports a higher limit (e.g. LRPS).

The Vermin only accepts a single magazine type. It has a "mass" value of 10 units:

Contains 30 rounds worth of .45 ACP ammunition. The last four rounds fired always consist of red tracers.
Trivia[]
The Vermin is based on its real-world counterpart: the "KRISS Vector" SMG designed by KRISS USA, Inc. (specifically the "Gen I" model).
During the Beta, the Vermin was originally referred to as the Vermin SBR when it was added after the release of Game Update 0.70.[1]
Prior to Game Update 1.76, it was one of the few in-game weapons that could utilise an integrated flashlight. The Vermin was later refactored so that it could accept its flashlight, designed specifically for mounting on it, as a standalone attachment instead.[2]
Vermin modified to accept a laser sight. Note how the attachment clips into the weapon's model due to the proxy's orientation.
Despite a rail being visibly modelled onto the lower receiver, it is not actually possible to attach any side rail accessories like laser sights onto the Vermin (other than the Vermin's dedicated flashlight module).
Theoretically, it is possible to use a custom addon to "enable" the mounting of non-flashlight accessories. However, because the rail's proxy point is not properly orientated on the model, any attached accessories will simply clip into the lower receiver and barrel.
Without editing the proxy on the Vermin's model, any custom accessories will need to have their own orientation adjusted to match the rail's position so as to not clip into the weapon's model.
