Right so...
R-99
Weapon Type: SMG
Ammo: Light
Firing Modes: Full-Auto
Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
Mag Size: 20
With Extended Mags: 22/24/27
Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 11/17/9
RPM: 1,080
Body DPS: 198
The R-99 a melter at close range when you hit your shots, its probably the hardest out of all three guns to control. I would always recommend a level 2 or above extended mag on this gun.
Volt
Weapon Type: SMG
Ammo: Energy
Firing Modes: Full-Auto
Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
Mag Size: 19
With Extended Mags: 21/23/26
Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 16/24/13
RPM: 783
Body DPS: 208
The Volt is my favourite SMG at the moment due to the Prowler being in the care package. You lose fire rate with it compared to the R-99 but you gain precision!
Alternator (My information might be out of date)
Weapon Type: SMG
Ammo: Light
Firing Modes: Full-Auto
Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
Mag Size: 19
With Extended Mags: 22/25/27
Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 15/23/12
RPM: 640
Body DPS: 160
In my opinion, this is the worse out of all three of the guns you have mentioned. It has had a buff in S8 which is why I think my data might be out of date. It's a decent gun for the start of a game though.
It's all down to personal opinion really, out of the three I would rank them...
Volt
R-99
Alternator
But other people would argue that the R-99 is better, I prefer the Volt because I can control it better at range and I think its better at range. You can hip fire any of the three, the R-99 mag drains very quickly though so you'd need to be accurate.
I hope this helps!

@rockyboy1998 The alternator damage is actually more than what is shown but I still consider it the worst.

@hayhor Yeah I was aware of that and did include it in my post, but it just doesn't perform. You get beamed if you have it, it seems to hit like a water pistol haha!
