Description
The IWI Uzi Military Armament Corporation Model 11, officially abbreviated as “M11” or “M-11“, and commonly known as the MAC-11, is a machine pistol/submachine gun developed by American firearm designer Gordon Ingram at the Military Armament Corporation (MAC) during the 1970s in Power Springs, Georgia, United States. The weapon is a sub-compact version of the Model 10 (Mac-10), and is chambered to fire the smaller .380 ACP round.
Like the larger M-10, the M-11 has iron sights with the rear pinhole sight welded to the receiver. These sights are for use with the folding stock, as using them without the stock is nearly useless because of the initial jump of the weapon due to its heavy, kpen bolt design. The M-11A1 also has two safety features which are also found on the Model 10A1. The charging handle rotates to 90 degrees to lock the bolt in the forward position thus preventing the weapon from being cocked. The second safety is a slider that is pushed forward to lock the trigger, which in turn pins the bolt to the rear (cocked) position. This prevents the weapon from discharging even when dropped, which is not uncommon with an open-bolt design.
The rate of fire of the M-11A1 is one of the biggest complaints about the firearm. Listed as 1,200 rounds per minute, the MAC-11’s high cyclic rate is able to empty the entire 32-round magazine in about two seconds, which many users view as a drawback.
