The MAC 10 sub machine gun was designed by Gordon B. Ingram, an American arms designer. He began to work on this compact weapon in the mid 1960s. This sub machine gun was mainly aimed at special operations and law enforcement forces, as well as VIP security teams. By 1965 several prototypes were made. This sub machine gun was evaluated by the US Army, however it was not adopted.

Production commenced in 1970 by the Military Armament Corporation (MAC). In 1976 the MAC went bust and production rights for this weapon were transferred to RPB Industries Inc. Later this sub machine gun was also manufactured by some other companies. Ingram’s sub machine guns were exported to Chile, Yugoslavia and some other Asian and South American countries. Copies of this weapon were manufactured in Japan, South Africa and Taiwan. Today the MAC 10 is no longer a premier sub machine gun. However it is still used by around 15 countries.

   This concealed carry sub machine gun was designed for close encounters. It is a blow back-operated, selective fire weapon, that fires from an open bolt. It has some features of the Israeli Uzi. There are two baseline MAC-10 (or M10) models, chambered for 11.43 (.45 ACP) and 9×19 mm Parabellum rounds.

   This weapon is simple in design and technology. Its receiver is made of sheet steel and consists of only two parts. These are held together by a steel pin. Generally the MAC-10 is a reliable weapon.

   Cocking handle is located at the top of the gun. It does not reciprocates when the gun is fired. The weapon can be reloaded with either hand. The cocking handle also acts as a safety, as it locks the bolt in forward position, when turned 90 degrees sideways.

When this safety is on, you can not see the front sight, as the sighting line is blocked. Another safety switch is located inside the trigger guard. A separate fire mode selector is located above the trigger guard on the left side of the receiver. It has settings for single shots and full-auto firing.
