This is another one from my Pop's collection. With a 12" OAL, 5" barrel, and 36 round mags, it's a great lookin pistol that has a nice feel and balance...

Re: Interarms Tec 9
Haha,
I'm not sure how this one made the collection, but it's a sweet pistol. He's not quite gangster, but I don't think he's ever met a gun he didn't like. I'm sure you fellas would have a good time...

Thank you Sir,
I'm actually in route back home now. Parting was bittersweet, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the folks. It'll be good to get home to the Mrs.

Re: Interarms Tec 9
I was browsing the forums and this caught my eye. I think that's a Tec 9, offered by IntraTec years ago. If I remember correctly, it was a redesign of the KG99 semi-auto, which in itself was a redesign of the KG9 select-fire pistol. A company called Interdynamics is involved in there somewhere, too, I think. For a while, the same pistol was being marketed with an un-threaded barrel and the barrel shroud was not perforated. At a gun show in Wasilla (yes, that Wasilla) I even saw a chrome plated version! Not nickel plated, but chrome plated! The ultimate gangsta gun!

Re: Interarms Tec 9
Yessir, for awhile those little "mini machine pistols" were all the rage in Hollywood movies. They included the KG9/99, the Mac 10/11, the UZI micro, and the H&K MP5K. Of course, they all had been modified to fire in full auto mode for the movies. And there was the Beretta 93, the Glock 18, and the Jata, too. I've even seen a very small version of a TMG (Thompson Machine Gun). In typical Hollywood fashion, these little monsters never ran out of ammo and never needed a magazine change, but they sure did have a nice flash signature - thanks to the special blank loads with "flash powder." In real life, these small guns are nearly uncontrollable and have little use outside of special escort duty. Some of them fire from an open bolt, which is a very interesting thing to experience. Having said all that, if you slow down the cyclic rate and add a suppressor, it might be fun to shoot these unusual guns.

Re: Interarms Tec 9
Never fired any of the sub-guns you mentioned, but I did have a chance to heat up a Sterling 9mm sub in full auto a few months back. It was amazing! VERY good handling and control...

Re: Interarms Tec 9
Some of you may remember when Hinkley tried to assisinate President Reagan.
What did the secret service have?
A full auto, open bolt uzi in a briefcase, which you can see both in the picture. The secret service agent brandishing the gun, and the briefcase laying in the street near the limo.
With that said, there are many submachineguns that were designed for full auto in an open bolt. Spanning the ages all the way back into the pre-WW2 era with the Thompsons and even the German MP40, Finnish Suomi M31, and a host of others, until the modern day in the U.S. when the ATF said no more open bolt semi's because they were too easy to convert to full auto by mechanically making the firing pin protrude through the bolt so they would strike the firing pin when it chambered a bullet, and thus creating full auto.
As for the M10's and M11's and M12's (MAC's), they can be very fun. I have an old M10A1 with a Lage 9mm slowfire upper reciever with ~750 rpm that is very accurate and is a pleasure to shoot, and I also have a Practical Solutions 22LR conversion kit that does well more than 1000 rpm of 22 goodness for when I want an economical bullet hose.
As for uncontrollable, I don't particularly care for the OEM upper because there is no front grip and your fingers can get very close to the muzzle by design, which again, I don't particularly care for, but with the new Lage upper is a game changer, and could be a lot "more" than just an escort/tank/aircraft crew gun.
Whether true or not, I have heard that the Mossad used the uzi AND the mac during the Entebbe Operation back in the 70's due how quiet they were.
Anyway, I like mine.

Intratec AB-10 9x19mm
Intratec AB-10 9x19mm ... anyone seen one of these? Have a scanner in my patrol vehicle and heard local and county LEO's rolling out to a dispute where a guy was flashing one of these. Kind of a cool looking pistol. Here be a link: http://guncentral.net/Pistols/ab10.html

Re: Intratec AB-10 9x19mm
I've seen these in .22 and 9mm before. They were out about the same time that the TEC-9 was popular. Just a more compact version of the TEC-9. I don't know the mechanics but it was fired from an open bolt I believe. One on full auto would probably be fun!

Re: Intratec AB-10 9x19mm
Yup,
Just a shorter barreled version of the Tec-9.

Yeah, same here.
This one's my Pop's. Not sure how or why he came by it, but he loves to shoot it though.
