All the cities I've seen so far have walls and watchtowers. A raider would need to get inside the wall for a submachine gun to be useful. Even then, the raider's gun is either made from spare parts or has been used for decades. Also, I don't expect the town militia to fight like soldiers. I expect them be on a roof or behind a barricade, where they can calmly fire single shots too much danger. Most importantly, I didn't want the gun to be useful if it was captured by a raider. If a raider has this carbine and tries to siege a town, the people inside can wait for weeks.
For comparison, a full-powered rifle would be better at defending the wall but it would also be more useful if a raider stole one. A submachine gun is cheap and simple, but not accurate and very hard to control without experience.
Building this carbine is also cheaper than building an assault rifle, and it can use common 7.62 bullets. This also makes it useful for hunting deer, boar, and wolf. However, you are correct: a submachine gun is still necessary for fighting criminals and gangs who live inside the town walls. This carbine is too long and slow for fighting inside buildings. Police need a fast weapon, and they practice often enough to control recoil with automatic guns, so I will make a submachine gun to be a pair with the carbine. Good idea.
