The Military Armament Corporation '''Model 10''', officially abbreviated as "'''M10'''" or "'''M-10'''",<ref name="Operation and Maintenance Manual">{{cite web |url=http://stevespages.com/pdf/mac_10.pdf |title=Operation and Maintenance Manual: Military Armament Corporation |publisher=Military Armament Corporation}}</ref> and more commonly known as the '''MAC-10''', is a compact, blowback operated machine pistol/submachine gun that was developed by Gordon Ingram in 1964. It is chambered in either .45 ACP or 9mm. A two-stage suppressor by Sionics was designed for the MAC-10, which not only abates the noise created but makes it easier to control on full automatic (although it also makes the gun far less compact and concealable).<ref>{{cite book |title=Modern Warfare |editor1-last=Dartford |editor1-first=Mark |year=1985 |publisher=Marshall Cavendish Books |location=London |isbn=0-86307-325-5 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/modernwarfare0000unse }}</ref>

Military Armament Corporation never used the "MAC-10" nomenclature in its catalogues or sales literature, but "MAC-10" is frequently used by Title II dealers, gun writers, and collectors.<ref name="MAC-10 name origin">{{cite news |last1=Iannamico |first1=Frank |title=Manufacturing History of Ingram-MAC Type Firearms |url=http://smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3191 |access-date=February 25, 2025 |work=Small Arms Review Magazine |issue=20 |publisher=Chipotle Publishing, LLC |date=January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927183442/http://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3191 |archive-date=September 27, 2021 |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> For a decade, the semi-automatic pistol version of the weapon was forbidden in the U.S. under the assault weapons ban enacted by Congress in 1994.

==Design== The MAC-10 is built predominantly from steel stampings. A notched cocking handle protrudes from the top of the receiver, and turning the handle 90° locks the bolt, and acts as an indicator the weapon is unable to fire. The MAC-10 has a telescoping bolt, which wraps around the rear face of the barrel. This allows a more compact weapon and balances the weight of the weapon over the pistol grip, where the magazine is located. The MAC-10 fires from an open bolt, and the light weight of the bolt results in a rapid rate of fire. In addition, this design incorporates a built-in feed ramp as part of the trigger guard (a new concept at the time) and, to save on cost, the magazine design was recycled from the M3 Grease Gun. The barrel is threaded to accept a suppressor, which works by reducing the discharge's sound without attempting to reduce the speed of the bullet. The .45 ACP models are well-suited for this, as most .45 loads are naturally subsonic, as opposed to the specialized subsonic loads usually required for suppressed 9mm weapons. At the suggestion of the United States Army, the suppressor also acts as a foregrip to inhibit muzzle rise when fired. Ingram added a small bracket with a small strap beneath the muzzle to aid in controlling recoil during fully automatic fire. The original rate of fire for the MAC-10 in .45 ACP is approximately 1090 rounds per minute.{{cn|date=May 2024}} That of the 9mm is approximately 1250, and that of the smaller MAC-11 in .380 ACP is 1500 rounds per minute.<ref name="McNab2011">{{cite book|last=McNab|first=Chris|title=The Uzi Submachine Gun|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aWbTl02k5jYC&pg=PA69|date=November 20, 2011|publisher=Osprey Publishing|isbn=978-1-84908-906-7|page=69}}</ref>

Noting the weapon's poor accuracy, in the 1970s, International Association of Police Chiefs weapons researcher David Steele described the MAC series as "fit only for combat in a phone booth".<ref name="Lewis2011">{{cite book|author=Jack Lewis|title=Assault Weapons|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s2AbzqChZBYC&pg=PA79|date=February 28, 2011|publisher=Gun Digest Books|isbn=978-1-4402-2400-3|pages=79–}}</ref>

===Suppressor=== One of the features that brought early attention to the MAC-10 was its sound suppressor, designed by Mitchell WerBell III of Sionics. The suppressor uses a two-stage design, with a wider first section followed by a narrower second section, giving it a distinctive stepped profile.

When used with subsonic ammunition, the suppressor substantially reduces the sound of firing. Under these conditions, the mechanical noise of the bolt cycling is often more noticeable than the muzzle report. Standard .45 ACP ammunition is subsonic and commonly used with the suppressor.

A heat-resistant Nomex cover can be fitted over the suppressor, allowing it to be used as a forward gripping surface while protecting the user from heat buildup.

During the 1970s, U.S. export restrictions on suppressors led several international customers to cancel orders, as the suppressor was a key feature of the MAC-10. This reduction in sales was one factor that contributed to the financial failure of the Military Armament Corporation.{{Clarify|reason=|date=January 2021}}

The original Sionics suppressor measures approximately 29.1 centimetres (11.44 inches) in length, has an overall diameter of 5.4 centimetres (2.13 inches), and weighs about 0.54 kilograms (1.20 pounds).<ref name="Walker2012">{{cite book |last=Walker |first=Robert E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SJYjP_tJ9_wC&pg=PA210 |title=Cartridges and Firearm Identification |publisher=CRC Press |year=2012 |isbn=978-1-4665-0206-2 |pages=210, 436}}</ref>

===Calibers and variants=== While the original M10 was available chambered for either .45 ACP or 9mm, the M10 is part of a series of machine pistols, the others being the MAC-11/M-11A1, which is a scaled-down version of the M10 chambered in .380 ACP (9×17mm); and the M-11/9, which is a modified version of the M-11 with a longer receiver chambered in 9×19mm, later made by SWD (Sylvia and Wayne Daniel), Leinad and Vulcan Armament. Law enforcement bureaucracies such as the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) consider MAC-11 variants such as the Leinad PM-11 to be part of the "MAC-10 class pistol".<ref>{{cite news |first1=Lou |last1=Raguse |title=New warrants in Idd's case reveal car search and investigation of possible link to brother's case |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/new-warrants-in-idds-case-reveal-car-search-and-investigation-of-possible-link-to-brothers-case/ar-BB1cJoAX |access-date=January 14, 2021 |work=MSN News |agency=Kare 11 |date=January 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20210114073440/https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/new-warrants-in-idds-case-reveal-car-search-and-investigation-of-possible-link-to-brothers-case/ar-BB1cJoAX |archive-date=January 14, 2021 |quote=And they found a backpack on the passenger side that had ammunition and "Leinad PM-11 high capacity pistol."

In the United States, machine guns are National Firearms Act items. As the Military Armament Corporation was in bankruptcy, a large number of incomplete sheet metal frame flats were given serial numbers and then bought by a new company, RPB Industries. Some of the previously completed guns, which were already stamped with MAC, were then stamped with RPB on the reverse side, making it a "double stamp" gun.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}

RPB Industries made many open-bolt semi-automatic and sub-machine guns before the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) seized roughly 200 open-bolt semi-autos during the drug wars of 1981.<ref>{{Cite web |last=L.

Semi-automatic variants, Mk III, IV and V were marketed to South American countries where "military" calibers were forbidden for civilian sales were chambered in .30, .41 and .50 Ingram respectively and available as semi-automatic pistols/carbines.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://werewolf0001.livejournal.com/717328.html|title=Инграм|website=werewolf0001.livejournal.com}}</ref>

Wayne Daniel, a former RPB machine operator, purchased much of their remaining inventory and formed SWD, designing a new weapon which was more balanced, available either fully or semi-automatic with his new BATFE-approved closed bolt design.<ref name="Larson2011">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Erik|author-link=Erik Larson (author)|title=Lethal Passage: The Story of a Gun|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FzV82AD3GlQC&pg=PA253|date=July 27, 2011|publisher=Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-307-80331-3|page=253}}</ref>

Today, while the civilian manufacture, sale and possession of post-1986 select-fire MAC-10 and variants is prohibited, it is still legal to sell templates, tooling and manuals to complete such conversions. These items are typically marketed as being "post-sample" materials for use by Federal Firearm Licensees for manufacturing/distributing select-fire variants of the MAC-10 to law enforcement, military and overseas customers.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.fullautoguns.com | title = Select-Fire (Fully Automatic) conversion information | access-date = October 7, 2020 | archive-date = June 20, 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150620123116/http://www.fullautoguns.com/ | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==1994 assault weapons ban in the U.S.== The civilian, semi-automatic pistol version of the MAC-10 was affected by the U.S. Federal Assault Weapons Ban enacted in 1994. The ban remained in effect until 2004.

Although the civilian MAC-10 differed mechanically from the original military submachine gun, it still met the law’s definition of an assault weapon. It was derived from a design originally intended for automatic fire. It also exceeded the unloaded weight limit of 1.4 kilograms (50 ounces). The civilian MAC-10 weighs approximately 2.84 kilograms (100.16 ounces).<ref name="Spitzer2001">{{cite book |last=Spitzer |first=Robert J. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kYKrIwceQ1UC&pg=PA96 |title=The Right to Bear Arms: Rights and Liberties Under the Law |date=January 1, 2001 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-1-57607-347-6 |pages=96–97}}</ref>

The pistol also featured a threaded barrel capable of accepting accessories such as a suppressor or flash suppressor. In addition, it used magazines with capacities of up to 32 rounds.

In response, Wayne Daniel redesigned the M-11 platform to comply with the ban. The revised design removed the threaded barrel and modified the magazine release to accept only 10-round magazines. This compliant version was marketed as the PM11/9.<ref name="RothKoper1999">{{cite book |last1=Roth |first1=Jeffrey A. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pb2RAAAAMAAJ |title=Impacts of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, 1994–96 |last2=Koper |first2=Christopher S. |publisher=U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice |year=1999 |page=3}}</ref>

===BXP=== The BXP is a 9{{spaces}}mm submachine gun developed in the mid-1980s by the South African company Mechem (currently a division of Denel, formerly under ARMSCOR) and brought into production in 1984. Due to international arms embargoes of Apartheid South Africa, the country was forced to design and manufacture their own weapons. The weapon was intended for use by security forces. The manufacturing rights have changed hands several times, passing from Mechem to Milkor Marketing and later to Truvelo Armoury, the current manufacturer ({{as of|lc=y|2009}}).{{Citation needed|date=February 2022}}
