A Gold SMG in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Gold SMG is a new weapon in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It appears as a gold-plated standard length IMI Uzi submachine gun with the folding stock removed. Yusuf Amir has a Gold SMG and it seems to be his primary weapon.
It has the same stopping power, accuracy and quite similar firing sound as the Micro Uzi, and is, basically, a full-length replacement. However, the rate of fire is different, as it fires much faster than the Micro Uzi (in reality the full sized Uzi has a slower rate of fire). It has a 30-round magazine, as opposed to the Micro-Uzi's fifty round magazine. Also, the reload is somewhat longer.
A common misconception that the gold plating makes the gun heavier but in reality gold plating would just coat the gun with a thin layer of gold. Because it is much bigger than the Micro-SMG, Luis and the multiplayer character hold it with two hands, firing from the hip. This gun, while being similar to the Micro-SMG from GTA IV and TLAD, has such an astounding rate of fire that it is the best gun in the game for drive bys and is not bad for ground warfare. The only flaw of the gun is its poor accuracy sacrificed for the rate of fire and damage, but it is still a very good weapon.
