PC SMGs....do I have this right?

Then you have a good roll pistol, bad roll SMG or both at once.Random stats, remember?

I've found pistol with better damage then AK, does that mean AK is weak now?
Before randomized stats, the SMG did less damage per shot than the pistol (which should never be the case). With randomized stats, I don't know what the ranges are, but the minimum and maximum damage rolls for the SMG should be higher than the pistol (say pistol is 18-26, SMG should be 19-27 or some such). A pistol should never do more damage than an AK, but perhaps that's an argument for a different day. :p

The smg fires way faster than a pistol though which makes sense as to why it is weaker per shot. Its damage over time trumps the pistol. And as others have already stated, full auto does not make the pistol fire any faster, it just lets you hold the trigger down to keep firing rather than pull it for each shot.
