The Military Arament Corporation series guns were originally built as submachine guns during the Vietnam War as weapons for tank operators, as the MAC-10. They were cheaply built using stamped steel parts and used old M3A1 "Grease Gun" magazines. It proved unsucessful do to its extremely high 1200rpm firing rate, its inaccuracy, and lack of proper front grip, leading to a common accident with this gun. The firer would do one of two thing. They would either slip their hands over the muzzle while firing, or they would fire it with one hand. With one hand, the muzzle rise would become too great, and the shooter would desperately grasp for the front, resulting in hand injury. To fix this problem, either a working or mock suppressor is threaded to the barrel, adding much more length to grab. During that time, they also developed a 9mm model, designated MAC-9, using old Sten magazines. The MAC-9 was a short lived submachine gun and has since become obsolete to the MAC-11, Cobray M11/9 and varients. It proved to be much easier to control than a .45 caliber gun though. Later, a .380 model was built, making it even more controllable. The MAC-10 stayed popular with SWAT teams all the way until the 1980s, when the Heckler & Koch MP5 and its varients replaced it as far more reliable weapons. Today, MAC-10s have been reduced to civilian sales as semi-auto pistols, being reproduced as Ingram MAC-9s, MAC-10s, and the most popular Cobray series. Like said, the MAC-9 is the least common, and is seldom seen in films, but the MAC-10 is a legend in films, as are the Cobray models.
