An American Weapon, the MAC-11 was designed by Gordon Ingram. It was first produced in 1972, as a sub-compact variant of the earlier MAC-10. The Military Armament Corporation Model 11, or MAC-11, is a compact blowback-operated weapon. With a fire rate of around twelve hundred rounds per minute, the weapon is difficult to shoot accurately unless fired in short bursts. Designed to be used with a suppressor, the MAC-11 has a threaded barrel for quick conversion to a covert role. Its bigger brother, the Model 10, fired a more powerful cartridge, and saw some use by US forces in the Vietnam War - but the smaller Model 11 was generally regarded as lacking in stopping power, and found fewer practical applications. Magazine capacity in-game is a mere 20 rounds, or 30 with extended mags. The cartridge fired is the compact but low powered .380 Automatic Colt Pistol round - ideal for concealable weapons but otherwise anaemic when compared to the ballistically superior 9mm parabellum or 45 ACP cartridge. In game damage reflects this lack of stopping power - even at close range the MAC-11 requires 4 hits to kill to the body. The damage drop with range is less pronounced than with the higher damage SMGs, at least - granting more consistent performance near the edge of your effective range. The recoil is light too, tied with the Spectre for perhaps the best handling characteristics in the SMG category, outside the Skorpion. The weapon will tend slightly upwards and to the right - but at close to middle range it's relatively easy to remain on target. Aim time is on par with the other SMGs, at 200 milliseconds, and the reload time is favourable too - at just 2 seconds it's one of the fastest SMGs to reload. The key to successfully using the short m
