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, .380 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 weapon's civilian version 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 fire rate, low accuracy, but decent damage for an SMG damage and a short reload time. It is a very 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 have a short range. It's an example of a Spray N' Pray weapon.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros

* Common, easy to find
* Common ammo (9mm)
* Fast Fire rate
* Short reload time
* Strong Close range
* Spray N’ Pray example

### Cons

* Bad Accuracy
* Small magazine
* Eats Ammo

## Strategies

### Using

* The MAC-10 is one of the best guns to kill a Player quickly in a Container. Stand outside of the Container and constantly shoot at one side of the internal wall to ricochet the bullets. This makes it hard for the victim to dodge the shots, and they usually succumb to it if they don't escape outside.
* 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.
* 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, eliminating players with one magazine even at medium range.
* It is advised you conserve ammo because the MAC-10 uses up a lot of ammo in little time, similar to other spray weapons.
* Drop some loot on the ground near a bush and camp in that bush. When other survivrs take the loot, fire at them, and the enemy has a very high chance to be killed by you due to the high DPS and spread of MAC-10.
* "Dual" MAC-10s with the Endless Ammo and/or Splinter Rounds perk can be devastating.
* A MAC-10 with the Firepower perk holds 50 shots, which is enough to devastate anyone, even someone with full level 3 armor or the Cast Ironskin perk.
* If for whatever reason you have the scope advantage and your longest-ranged weapon in your possession is a MAC-10 (it happens if your other gun is a Shotgun), remember that firing from standing greatly increases the accuracy of the MAC-10.

### Countering

* Because the MAC-10 has such a high spread, battling from the 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). Fighting 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 or 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 a very long range and try to rush you, do not let them get close. Instead, snipe them before they get too close to aim well.

## 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, " 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.
* Despite being less accurate than the Vector, the MAC-10 has a higher range and DPS.
* As mentioned above, it can have either 9mm or .45 ACP, however, there is no .45 ACP version for the MAC-10 in the game like there is for the Vector.
* The MAC-10 is a machine pistol, which is part pistol, part submachine gun. It is usually compact and is capable of both automatic and burst fire.
