There are two ways about it.
Either to make them hurt less over distance or to chance the spread to make them less easy to hit things there

@Trokey66We already have it. The guns are having an accuracy cone already. The SMG one needs to be somewhat wider as to prevent any SMG from beating an assault rifle at mid range.

I agree though, spread mechanics should be used more widely, especially with SMGs. Because of their drum mags and ability to dump, SMGs may still be a tad to good if damage drop off used.- filthy_vegans3 years agoSeasoned Ace
I haven't used SMGs since the patch as I'm working on my PKP.
I still die plenty to them, and very quickly, at often very long ranges. It feels like even with only 19 primary weapons that I die to the K30 and MP9 about half the time.
There's something up broadly with the guns. It seems that the devs are loath to touch the SMGs, with only the PP-29 getting a slight nerf; all the other SMGs are either untouched or, with 4.1, buffed since launch. Minimum spread on all guns is just too low - one barely has to control recoil, even on a heavy hitter like the PKP, and with the buff to aim assist the game just feels, for want of a better word, plasticky.
