When it comes down to close range combat, the submachine gun, automatic pistol or shotgun, are all fine weapons. Both military and police operators have been using these weapons for decades with great success. This is almost an impossible question to answer. Efficiency presumably means the ability of the weapon to make someone incapable of fighting in the shortest possible time. This is based on the nature of close combat, where an opponent must ideally be incapacitated instantly for fear that they will have time and opportunity to hit back. Taking this definition there is no easy answer. So much depends on the nature of the opponent, and the overall intention of the assault. The opponent may be on drugs, unawares, wearing body armour, or very weak/strong. The intention may be to incapacitate silently, en masse, permanently or impermanently. You also have the question of your own circumstance. You may not have access to lots of ammunition, money, or weight carrying.
In the end, one weapon that will apply in almost any case is the simple sharpened shovel. If speed is the one criteria a high powered taser is likely to be better than any firearm, because it directly stops movement, rather than relying on blood loss and nerve damage.
my mechanic seen action in Korea in the Canadian infantry. the canadians were still issued ww1 lee enfield 303 bolt rifles which were useless against a mass Chinese attack.he said that everyone was trying to get hold of a Thompson or the 15 shot m1 carbine.he told me what he used mostly was plenty of grenades due to the shear numbers of Chinese on attack.
The Hetler & Koch MP7 is one of the best. It weighs 1.7 Kg and has a range of 200m. It fires 950 rounds per minute and can easily defeat body armour. It can also be fitted with a silencer and a scope. The H&K MP5 is a very accurate and portable sub-machine gun that is used worldwide by the military as well as police forces and is known for its stability however the 9mm round fired by it is underpowered by today's standards.
Also there is the fully automatic shotgun and even now in Afghanistan some of are troops are using a newly designed tomahawk
The most ideal weapon depends on the situation. A combatant skilled with a knife may opt to use it to inflict a killing blow or attack unarmoured parts of the enemy, and this is probably as efficient as the user is skilled with the knife. A shotgun can provide a good deal of stopping power at close range, but any compact weapon with jacketed hollow-point rounds would work well at close range.

Why was it to deadly to fight battles on traditional military formation during the civil war?
During the Civil War generals were still using the Napoleon style of combat which consisted of lining up soldiers in rows. The opposing sides were marched within fairly close range before they began firing. When this style of combat was first developed the close range was necessary due to the poor range of guns. By the time of the American civil war the range and accuracy of guns had vastly improved making the tradition of lining solders at close range to fire at one another an incredibly deadly practice.
How did short sword helped Romans army?
I don`t know, maybe the Romans were too lazy :) But to answer your question, the Romans already thought that their spears were long enough to jab their opponents. So they thought their swords should be short for close range, the opponent about 2-4 feet away from them. Another theory is that they used to knock their opponents with their shield so that the opponent becomes dizzy or unaware of what`s going on, so that the Romans have the opportunity to jab them freely. This only happens when the opponent gets too close to him.
