Such a silly looking gun. :D - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 15:57, 4 November 2011 (CDT)
:Clearly, ergonomics or controllability were not high on Gordon Ingram's list of priorities when designing this weapon, otherwise this oversized machine pistol wouldn't be missing a more convenient place to put your non-trigger hand out of the box, or be saddled with an inconveniently fast firing rate. There is [http://www.max-11.com/ a conversion kit] that fixes those problems, however, and something like that would be nice to see in a movie one day. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 22:16, 4 November 2011 (CDT)
::Um, I was talking about the MasterPiece Arms MPA930T. :\ Even though it's not that good I still think the regular MAC-10 looks fairly cool.

Had the wrong version, but I'll leave the old one up too since it has discussion. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:29, 7 November 2011 (CST)

What round capacity is that extended magazine on the MPA9305? --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 12:33, 9 November 2011 (CST)

==Vietnam==
I'm not sure, but a website claimed that the MAC-10 saw service in the Vietnam War. Is that true? - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 17:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

It's true that the original MAC-10 did see some limited use by Special Forces over the years. Basically it was considered a throwaway weapon that could be used and then ditched if one needed to. The suppressor it had at the time was great for that era and it ended the lives of a few sentries. Still the Uzi was a superior weapon that ended up way more popular.

I remember a long time ago reading an article in ''Soldier of Fortune'' which included some pics of SOF founder Robert K. Brown from his 5th SF Group days wearing the MAC-10 in a hip holster arrangement. The article included something which stated that the US military allegedly was considering replacing the M1911 with the MAC-10 and how Brown, among others, was grateful that such a thing never happened. --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 06:34, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

== Congo ==

How come there isn't a link to Congo

== New links ==

Can anyone add Congo 1995 on to the site. beggarsclan

Ok, sign your posts, and be more specific about what you want. Do you mean the [[Congo]] page? If you mean something else, you can make it yourself. --[[User:Jackbel|Jackbel]] 08:44, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

== MAC-10 used by german special forces ==

Hello,

the article claims that the MAC-10 was used by West-German special-ops at one time. I'm quite familiar with the german military and police forces, and I have never heard of the MAC-10 being used by either of them execpt maybe for evaluation. Can somebody specify which unit is supposed to have used the gun? Thank you in advance.
