I got to play the demo at E3 and I must say there are definately some differences between the assault rifle and the SMG. First off, the rate of fire is noticably higher. The accuracy might be similar, but this does not render the gun worthless. You DEFINATELY want to have one of these when duel wielding. Having this is one hand and the needler in the other makes for a deadly combo. You can see this in the demo too. The reason being, you can fire both at the same time, the SMG will bring armor down, and by that time the needles will being to explore, destroying your opponent. When you do this at mid to close range, your opponent drops almost instantly. Otherwise, the SMG is not all that better than the Assault rifle, but it is an improvement.
