Normally, when you are in a car and press the button that pulls out a weapon (instead of holding it which opens the weapon wheel), a pistol comes out which allows you to use for drive bys and such, and you shoot using the hack button while using the center reticle to aim:
But theres a way to switch that basic pistol out for a smg 11:
- Go to Oakland where theres a lot of gang members (find gang hideouts with enemies carrying smgs)
- enter your car and hit up on the d-pad (or whatever button you use to get your pistol out)
- die in the car with the weapon still out (by engaging in combat with gang members, police, blowing yourself up, etc)
- when you respawn, hold the aim button so it defaults to your pistol (and never open the weapon wheel), kill somebody with an smg (like a gang member) with that pistol youre using and pick up the smg from the ground.
Now every time you enter a car and pull out a pistol it will be the smg and not a regular pistol
