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.

Only brainwashed dolts confuse the two.

I bet he has a criminal record, precluding his legal gun ownership, too. Details, details.
Well you see the magazine only hols 30 rounds, but the weapon is capable of 160 RPM, The 30 round clip lasts about 2 seconds.
