By comparison, the M boasts an effective range of no less than yards, 10 times that of the MAC Granted, the MAC and the M are different guns for different purposes, but even among submachine guns 50 yards is a rather abysmal range. Both the Uzi and MP5 , for instance, have effective ranges of at least yards. But the gun also suffers a lot of muzzle lift. The powerful rapid-fire action means excessive kick. Designers tried to address this by adding several features to help stabilize the weapon during firing— a sound suppressor that could also function as a forward grip, a hook for a leather grip-strap at the front of the receiver and an extendable wire stock.
The suppressor potentially made the weapon more attractive to special operators by adding stability and cutting down on muzzle report. The stock, however, is all but useless. The U. Army put the gun through trials and evaluation. Before the U. The Arms Export Control Act of greatly restricted the export of weaponry that could be used for military purposes, and included additional restrictions on the export of suppressors. Without the suppressor, the MAC was nowhere nearly as attractive to potential military and police clients.
Several companies continued producing parts and variant designs of the MAC — perhaps most notably the semi-automatic Cobray versions — but the gun still never saw widespread use among military and police. However, the same design elements that made the MAC theoretically suitable for police and special forces — concealability, a high rate of fire, maneuverability in close quarters — also made it attractive to other elements.
Larson is careful to distinguish between the variants. Hollywood may not have tricked the militaries of the world into using the MAC, but it sure convinced a whole bunch of murders to do so. Hitmen wielded a MAC in the infamous Dadeland murders in Miami, when they killed drug kingpin Jimenez Panesso and one other person at the Dadeland Mall in broad daylight in front of several witnesses.
It took only a few seconds to completely riddle Berg with bullets, leaving a total 34 entrance and exit wounds in his head and body. Four years later another member of the Order used a nine-millimeter MAC to kill a Missouri state trooper.
In a disgruntled ex-postal worker armed with an Uzi and a MAC shot dead two former colleagues and the boyfriend of a former supervisor. These are only a few of the high-level murders involving MACs that Larsen cites. Today the MAC still has a loyal following on message boards and in Internet chat rooms for gun enthusiasts.
