Most of the weapons are not technically machine gun but are submachine guns. From what I understand the MAC 10 is a horrible weapon. The only reason it is famous was its repeated use in TV shows and movies during the 1980s.

“From what I understand the MAC 10 is a horrible weapon. “

I’ve only fired the MAC 11. It kept jamming up on the Federal ammo we had but when it actually operated the entire mag was gone in about three seconds. In my opinion a total waste of time and ammo.

Remember the A Team? Dozens of bad guys spraying bullets (often from a MAC 10), yet nobody ever got hurt. That’s when I knew it was junk :)

Don’t waste your money.

Buy a slide-fire stock.

Better yet those new dual action triggers that fire upon the trigger pull AND release. Pricey, but worth it. Or maybe the gat crank trigger for the financially challenged.

I think a Binary trigger is probably better than slide fire for most folks.

I’ve always wanted my very own Lewis gun.

I like what I’ve seen from the franklin binary trigger. The only problem seens that you can outrun the tigger, causing the hammer to ride the bolt forward.

Brun Latridge pistol from turn of the century.

It looks like a steampunk version of a laser pistol. It was an early (pre-1900) autofeed pistol.

Take a look.

It’s the only gun I ever wanted to own just to look at it.

That would be “trigger”. Of course, a tigger is a wonderful thing (woo-hoo).

Ian McCollum featured it on his “forgotten weapons” channel I believe. weird and beautiful at the same time.

wideopenspaces.com has a video explaining the mechanics of this fascinating pistol. Thanks for posting as I had never heard of it before.

MG-74 Austrian copy of the MG-42 in 308 It would be expensive to feed and hard to keep barrels in good condition. Lots of will power to keep the finger off the fun lever.

Having fired a few, the full auto rifles are pretty much useless. Subs however are a lot of fun.

I’m a big believer in aimed fire. Good marksmanship trumps spray-n-pray everyday.

Where are you shopping that you need five machine guns? One is usually enough where I shop.

I had a MAC-10. IT had the accuracy of any pistol, but sighting the thing was impossible. It was a point and shoot weapon. It’s only redeemable quality was the 30 round mag.
