Hi, I'm the author of that section of the article (well, author of most of the article really) The H-V45 is an AR, but it is heavily geared towards CQC and suffers at range when compared to other vanu weapons or other faction's counterparts. I describe it as a "beefier SMG" because that's almost what it is. A high ROF close quarters weapon that trades raw killing power up-close for damage output at range.

Another reason for the comparison is to gear newer players towards a playstyle that will fit with the weapon, by making a simple analogy with the two weapon styles is draws a connection with how the weapon is best used.
