After great endorsements of the mac 10 in the market through Hollywood, manufacturers thought they could make military use of the mac 10, but professional operators did not use it.

Although some agencies used it due to performance issues, mac 10 did not catch professional use.

Mac11 is a subcompact version of mac10. It is a machine gun having more capacity than a mac10. It was designed by Gordon Bailey Ingram and manufactured by the Military Armament corporation.

Mac 11 is compact and handy; its charging handle is placed just above the receiver, which can be rotated 90 degrees to lock it in place, which prevents it from being charged.

Mac11 safety is allocated in forward of the trigger pushed forward to lock it up, which also prevents it from undesired firing.

The availability of guns is a mere thing which makes their price value even higher, mac11 is available in markets relatively easily, and there are even copies of its model in the market.

Mac11  has a length of 53 cm with stock extended and 24.8 centimetres with stock folded. Its barrel length is 12.9 centimetres.

Mac 11 works effectively in a range of 50 meters (160 feet), sometimes making it undesirable for military or police use; it was even mentioned by the association of police chief weapons in America.

Mac 11 weighs 1.6 kg and has a cyclic rate of 1200 rounds per minute with a feed system of 16 to 32 rounds of magazines.

Its high cyclic rate sounds desirable, but it’s not as such. A high cyclic rate would make the shooter refill in mere two seconds, and this absurdly high firing rate leads to poor accuracy.
