MAC-10

The **Military Armament Corporation Model 10**, known as the **MAC-10** in-game, is an SMG in surviv.io that uses the 9mm Ammunition.

## Background

The MAC-10 Military Armament Corporation Model 10, officially abbreviated as "M10" or "M-10", and more commonly known as the MAC-10 or Ingram, is a compact, blowback operated machine pistol that was developed by Gordon B. Ingram in 1964. It is chambered in either .45 ACP or 9mm. A two-stage suppressor by Sionics was designed for the MAC-10, which not only abated the noise created but also made it easier to control on full automatic (although it also made the gun far less compact and concealable). For a decade, the civilian version of the weapon was banned in the U.S. under the assault weapons ban enacted by Congress in 1994.

## Info

The gun is fully automatic and bears a very high rate of fire, low accuracy, but high damage, and a short reload time. It is a strong close-range weapon, and can sometimes substitute a Shotgun because of its high DPS and fire rate. The MAC-10 would not be useful for long range battles because the bullets spread out too far, and because of low range.

## Strategies

* The MAC-10 is one of the best guns to quickly kill a Player in a Container. Stand outside of the Container and shoot constantly at one side of the internal wall, so that the bullets ricochet. This makes it hard for the victim to dodge the shots, and they usually succumb to it. If they don't retreat and reload.
* The MAC-10 is an excellent gun for quick close-range combat. The spraying effect of the gun can take out enemies in a matter of seconds if in a confined space (room, Outhouse, Barn's Panic Room, Bank's Vault, Containers, etc.)
* The MAC-10 is a great alternative to a Shotgun if you are not confident enough to land shots accurately or if the enemy is proficient at dodging. However, it burns through ammunition quickly, so maintaining good trigger control is important.
* It can be considered as a less accurate version of the Vector.
* The MAC-10 is also an excellent weapon to help beginners to gain better accuracy to become better at the game.
* It can also be considered the "Chaser" because of its spread, which can eliminate players within each shot at long range.
* It is advised you conserve ammo because the MAC-10 uses up a lot in little time.

## Countering

* Because the MAC-10 has such high spread, battling from mid-long range will make it much easier to fight it. Try using an MP5 since it does not spread and is much more useful for long-range (and maybe even in close range depending on your aim) Battling at close range is a bad idea especially early game because of its high DPS and ability to finish you in 1 magazine if you have little to no Equipment.
* If you're stuck at close range, take a shotgun (any will work but the M870 works well with quick-switching) and take a shot then hide, and repeat till you eliminate your opponent!
* If you don't have a shotgun or any good Weapon, hide behind an indestructible object (containers) or a pile of stones, and wear out all the ammo that the other user has, until you can fist them.
* If you are at very long range and they are trying to rush you, do not let them get close, instead, N̶u̶k̶e̶ ̶'̶E̶m̶ Snipe 'Em.

## Rarity

The MAC-10 is a common weapon that can spawn anywhere, e.g. Crates, Buildings, and Containers.

## Trivia

* The icon for the MAC-10 is shown without an ejection port, meaning that it is either a left-handed model or that the developers just forgot to draw one on.
* As mentioned above, MAC is an abbreviation of "Military Armament Corporation", which was a firearm manufacturer. The HK416 (M416) and Glock 18C (G18C) were changed due to featuring the names of firearms companies, but the MAC-10 was not due to Military Armament Corporation being defunct since 1975.
* Although as mentioned in the Background, it can have either 9mm or .45ACP, however, there is no .45 ACP version for the MAC-10 in the game like there is for the Vector.
* Despite being more inaccurate than the Vector, the MAC-10 has a higher range.
