Do SMGs count as rifles or pistols in Fallout 76?
Lol, they're rifles, mate. Throw those perks on automatic rifles and watch your enemies turn to dust.

Nope, they're not pistols. SMGs are treated as automatic rifles. Easy mistake to make with all those mods and perks to keep track of!
As a dedicated Fallout 76 player, I can tell you from experience that SMGs count as automatic rifles. Just last week, I was experimenting with different builds and noticed a significant damage boost when I applied rifle perks to my SMG setup. So, yeah, focus on those automatic rifle perks!
SMGs in Fallout 76 actually fall under the 'Automatic Rifles' category, so if you're beefing up your perks, focus on those that boost rifles for a nice edge when spraying and praying with your SMG.
