This is a B/W study I did for the color piece "Say hello to the iMAC-10" http://www.furaffinity.net/view/901378/ . MAC-10 was the creation of Gordon B. Ingram and was manufactured by his Military Armament Corporation in the late 60's and early 70's. It was intended to be a compact submachine gun for Special Forces operating in Vietnam and for various security agencies that needed a small, concealable submachine gun. Military Armament Company went out of business around 1974 and since then other manufacturers have produced the MAC-10 it and it's brethren.
One of the big selling points of the MAC-10 was that it was designed from the start to be used with suppressors. In particular it was designed to be used with the Sionics suppressor that Mitchell Werbell III had designed. Since 45ACP round has a very low muzzle velocity it was easy to suppress and this made for a very quiet weapon. While by todays standards the Sionics suppressor is rather large and heavy it was for its time one of the better designs around. It also was one of the first non-wipe style suppressors to go into production.
The MAC-10 has been described by some as being "America's answer to the Israeli Uzi"; this is not an entirely accurate comparison since they were designed for somewhat different roles. The Uzi was primarily created for general use submachine gun by mechanized infantry units, vehicle crews, and paratrooper units. The MAC-10 was really only meant for specialized use by units like SEALs, Green Berets, etc. The standard Uzi is much larger weapon, 440mm for an Uzi with stock folded compared to 280mm for a MAC-10. Rates of fire are very different between the two weapons. The Uzi with its rate of fire around 600rpm which seems almost glacial compared to the MAC-10 which rips along between 1,000 and 1,100rpm! A more accurate comparison would be between the MAC-10 and the Mini Uzi which has closer dimensions and rate of fire.

The MAC-10 is also not nearly as comfortable to shoot as the Uzi. Without the suppressor, especially as the muzzle blast is not that far in front of your nose. The M11/9, which is somewhat smaller and in 9mm, is an absolute joy to fire. You can currently purchase a replacement upper receiver which moves the cocking handle to the side of the gun, leaving the top free for either a decent set of sights, or an optic.
Yeah I imagine you got a face full when it was firing MAC-10 full-auto with no suppressor. Question by putting the new upper on it does that make it a Maxi-11? I've seen some of those but have been unable to confirm whether they are a completely new weapon or a refurbishing of existing weapon?
well, the registered portion of a mac-type weapon is the lower frame. Essentially, you replace the entire upper and bolt. You can have as many upper receivers as you please. One company even produced a MG42, which used a mac 10 or M11 lower as the registered part, essentially giving you a whole new gun working on a different principle, as an interchangeable upper receiver.
There are also uppers for the mac series that use Calico drums, Ruger 10/22 magazines, are carbine length, etc. There are caliber change kits for most configurations, too.
A number of companies have made semiautomatic versions of these guns, some better than others.

Not a problem. In fact I have recently discovered that a couple people have been using my postings as reference for their own work. It is quite surprising so I'm making certain that anything I do post is as accurate as possible. With that in mind, if you plan to use the two-stage Sionics suppressor in you story make it a pinch longer than what I show in the line drawings. I discovered this fact after I was done. You can see I corrected for it in "Say hello to the iMAC-10".
Man i hate this gun...specifically becasue it has seen a huge popularity in the use of organized crime and various street gangs...there's a reason they are referred to as "spay and pray" it's dubious history (same with the tech-9 pistol which also was incorporated by criminals) turns me away from the gun.. But the drawing is amazing well detailed and clear.
