MAC-10
The Military Armament Corporation Model 10 or MAC-10 is a highly compact, blowback-operated select-fire submachine gun (more specifically a machine pistol) developed by Gordon B. Ingram in 1964. A simple, low-cost design with few moving parts, the MAC-10 has a reputation for being an extremely reliable and easily manufactured weapon, although the combination of small size and high cyclic rate of fire (1100 RPM) make it rather inaccurate in full automatic fire. The weapon can also be fitted with a silencer. The silenced version the MAC-10 had been briefly featured in the 1976 film Three Days of the Condor starring Robert Redford and in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. Depending on the model, MAC-10 fires, .380 ACP, caliber 9 mm Parabellum or caliber .45 ACP rounds.
