Maliwan submachine guns always have elemental effects; they are characterized by higher elemental effect chance and status effect damage.
The SubMalevolent Grace can come with two barrel types; each one can give the gun different properties:
Tediore barrel (lite) – Increases reload speed and accuracy but decreases damage.
Bandit/scav ("heavy") – Increases the weapon base damage but decreases accuracy.
