Designed so the average Joe can make one in the garage.
I had one in 9mm. It was semi only.
Basically a piece of junk. Well not completely. It was accurate and reliable. With every shot, the trigger slapped my finger really hard.
I had a Browning Hi-Power at the same time. The Browning was svelte with a perfect grip. Well balanced and smooth functioning, every thing the Ingram was not.
I’ve shot a MAC-11. I can’t see much use for it. The mag was dumped in a second.
Daddy would have gotten us Uzis...
Given its high rate of fire, which would quickly deplete a soldiers basic load, coupled with controllability issues, I dont see it being a suitable long arm for infantry use...this weapon would excel is as a personal defense weapon used by an operator in a vehicle where extra magazines are readily accessible. A vehicle-mounted executive protection team could use a couple of MACs to lay down a flurry of suppressive fire when trying to break contact from a threat, as long as accounting for the ultimate destination of fired rounds isnt a major consideration.So it sounds like the perfect weapon to clear the street of antifa. It would be good to have in your car for that special occasion when antifa surrounds your car and starts pounding on it with bats "asking" you to come out and play.

Made back 3X the $$ I spent on buying it when I sold it.
The line from NIGHT OF THE COMET comes to mind.

The only one I ever saw was in 9mm. The only sound it made was the working of the action. I wonder if the .45s are louder.

I saw somewhere that you could mount a suppressor on a MAC-10 to make it more accurate. New York, I think it was...
