You essentially get 3 different configurations and use cases out of 1 registered lower. The M11A1 is the variant and the most flexible as you essentially get a 'auto pistol' in the original setup but then can add 9mm uppers to convert it to an Mini UZI size config or a M31A upper as you see in this video to make it into a carbine. That said, the MAC can be a very excellent SMG if you're willing to go Class 3 and augment it with a quality after market upper and rate reducer. The MAC by itself in its original guise is a very close range bullet hose, nothing more.
What would be the difference in reliability, if any?įirst, if you're looking at MAC guns, are you talking about fully transferable automatic or one of those semi-auto knock offs? Don't bother with the semi-auto knock offs, ever, period.
