Ingram M10 (MAC-10)

Magazines hold 30 rounds of .45 ACP
1,145 RPM (Rounds Per Minute)
little over a second to empty a magazine...
     Ingram's Military Armament Corporation 10 (M-10 or MAC-10) was produced in the beginning of the 70's with versions made by other manufacturers still today. Originally firing a heavy .45 ACP round and then later the 9x19mm Parabellum round.

("Si vis pacem, para bellum" is Latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war") 

I don't have much to say about this firearm, Canada has banned it by name along with all variants. If there was a solely semi-automatic version of this historic firearm it'd be immediately classified as prohib anyway because it looks scary to the people who write the laws... all the while, a semi-automatic Czechoslovakian version of the Skorpion vz. 61 called the CZ 91 is A.O.K to buy. Here's the kicker about that gun; it's been classified as a 'rifle' so magazines can only carry five rounds... of .32 ACP... It was classified as a rifle because the "Skorpion pistol" is prohibited, calling it a rifle changes it's classification.
Here's a link to a list of prohibited firearms
