Police caught a robbery suspect with a Mac 11 machine pistol in the South Loop neighborhood late Thursday night, authorities said.
The 23-year-old man was arrested in the alley between Wabash and Michigan avenues just south of 18th Street just before midnight.
He was also carrying a small amount of marijuana and the gun had an extended clip that could hold more than 30 rounds, police said.

Capable of shooting 1600 rounds a minute.
A 30 round clip won’t last very long.
It’s a spray gun.
Wonder where he stole it from.

Not exactly the carry weapon I would want to bet my life on.

NOT Automatic, and not useless. It can send bullets out the barrel when you pull the trigger. I seem to remember they originally sold for about $120. The guy who wants almost $600 for it is dreaming.

How could this happen? Those guns are illegal in Chicago.

Mac-11s were great because .380 is subsonic out of the box. Great with a suppressor on full auto. The perp here probably had a semi-auto with no suppressor, though.

I want to see that 1,600-round magazine in action.

This is Chicago. They have laws that prevent this sort of thing happening. Therefore it didn’t happen. Optical illusion.

Just another article by a liberal news outlet trying to build a case for an “assault weapons” ban in Illinois. We gun owners in Illinois are in for a rough two years. Good thing I only live 5 miles from the Indiana state line. I could move with minimal disruption to my life
