This all got started because it came out that the original MAC-10 could be converted to full auto in about ten seconds with a flat head screwdriver.

Even better, a pencil eraser taped or glued in a certain place would give you full auto fire, without permanently modifying the weapon, and you could get rid of the temporary modification with a flick of your finger. I think that's why the open bolt Mac-10 became the closed bolt Cobray.

I hadn't heard about that one. You'd think the heat generated inside the weapon would melt the eraser pretty fast. Don't doubt it though. You know the really sad thing? All of that class of firearm; the MAC, COBRAY, TEC etc are a total POS. Only the Uzi qualifies as a quality gun. Even then, the semiauto Uzi is nothing more than a marketing ploy. But if you need quality Class III, Uzi does it.
