The SMG briefcase is a discrete method of carrying an SMG in areas where the weapon itself might attract unwanted attention. It also allows a relatively large weapon to be carried in relatively formal settings.
There are two types of SMG briefcases: The first is nothing more than a carrier, essentialy a shell that disguises the outlines of the weapon. Frequently, the carry handle of the briefcase is also th carry handle for the weapon. To use the concealed SMG with this type of case, a trigger or release mechanism is pressed, which allows the briefcase shell to fall away, revealing the SMG, which is then used in the conventional manner.
A more 'advanced' version of the SMG briefcase includes a triggerlinkage and a port that allows the SMG to be fired while it is inside the briefcase. Such a case may include a laser pointer to assist in aiming as the sights of the weapon cannot be used. The weapon case be removed from the case and used normally, but this typically requires more time than the 'briefcase holster' described above.
