Negative, Submachine guns should not be referred to or classified as "Rifles". A rifle's immediate purpose that (Most, if not all) SMGs do not possess is long-range capability. Rifles are carbines that utilize much longer barrels, they also use much more complex firing mechanisms, while SMGs use blocked-bolt firing for rapid discharge. Also, SMGs use smaller caliber. The only thing these two have in common is the design.

I wouldn't trust an answer on Quora (Not to mention that that answer was taken out of context a bit, the author expanded their points and in fact proved that SMGs are vastly different from rifles).


Now, about the suggestion.

I would much rather not have more rifles in the game, there's already so many of them that there's little room for differentiating. And I especially don't want a British bullpup, known as one of the worst rifles in history
