For most purposes an assault rifle would be better than a submachine gun. Submachine guns fire pistol ammunition, and so are sometimes called machine pistols. Assault rifles fire rifle cartridges, and so have a much higher muzzle velocity with consequently greater impact on the target, and a much longer effective range.
