Cavalry with submachine guns

[Greg]

The Armies of the Soviet Union book list Cavalry Squad with the option of equipping each soldier with a submachine gun.  My question is:  Do the sub guns fire as normal while mounted?  Cavalry lists in all the other books I have seen only refer to the Cavalry carbine being fired as a pistol while mounted.  I would think the submachine guns aren’t much more difficult to fire while mounted, they are sort of ‘spray & pray’ weapons anyway.

Only pistols and carbines can be fired while mounted – MRB, p89, Unit Special Rules, Cavalry, fifth para.  It would require a unit special rule or a house rule to allow anything else.
