At least that’s what you might think if your only exposure to the weapon is action films and T.V. shows from the era. The compact MAC-10 first registered in America’s collective imagination when John Wayne wielded one. This, with lethal prowess in the 1974 police thriller McQ.

After that, the MAC 10 for sale became a standard prop gun. The MAC-10’s manufacturer, Military Armament Corporation, had hoped to become a leader in the growing market for military and police submachine guns.

The gun originally operated with an open bolt system with a cocking handle on the top of the upper receiver. The open-bolt design dictated the seemingly odd placement of the cocking handle, which made it impossible to add an optics rail to the weapon.

The stubby barrel has trademark grooves at its base near the receiver so the user can twist on a suppressor.
