Unfortunately that last time I checked the 1/2D Range stat on that spreadsheet is not consistent with GURPS (apparently 1/2D range is still something of a legacy mechanic, not quite the range at which the bullet has dropped to 1/2 its energy). There aren't any official SMGs with barrel lengths that long published but I doubt 1/2D would be more than 200 yards.

For example the spreadsheet gives even a 20mm barrel the same 1/2D range.
