MAC-10 - Definition and Overview

The Military Armament Corporation Model 10 or MAC-10 is a blowback-operated select-fire submachine gun (more specifically a machine pistol) developed by Gordon B. Ingram in 1964. A simple design with few moving parts, the MAC-10 has a reputation for being an extremely reliable and inexpensive weapon, although the combination of small size and high cyclic rate of fire (1200 RPM) make it rather inaccurate in full automatic fire.

The MAC-10 fires the caliber .45 ACP round.
