Do SMGs count as pistols in Fallout 76?
SMGs in Fallout 76 = automatic rifles, not pistols. Found out the hard way after building my character around pistol perks. Save yourself the heartache and plan accordingly!

Actually, SMGs are rifles. So pistol perks won't help with them.
Nope, SMGs don't count as pistols in Fallout 76. I know, it's a bit confusing given their size and how you might use them in other games, but in Fallout 76, they're classified under the automatic rifles category. So if you're trying to buff your build around pistols, SMGs won't benefit from those perks.
Hard no. They're rifles. Full stop.
