I have suddenly become enamored of the small caliber full auto handgun.
Oh, would I love a VZ61 Skorpion in 32ACP! But alas, she is far beyond my reach…
Knowing a FA (in general) is financially out of the question right now, I am still gathering info about sami-auto versions of smg-look-alike, small caliber semi-auto’s with long magazines hanging out; and I realized I know next to nothing about the MAC series of guns.
Please tell me like I am a kindergartener, OK?
Of the 380 MACs,
What is the difference between the PM12 (semi-) vs M12 (semi-) vs the M11 (semi-auto)?
There is also a M11 in 9mm, are the parts interchangeable (except the obvious barrel, bolt face, etc) btw the M11 in 380 and 9mm?
What is any parts are interchangeable between any of the models or calibers?
I hear bad things about the accuracy of the MACS, but mixed things about the reliability? How’s the reliability of the 380’s?
Seems like there are both legal open bolt and closed bolt semi-autos. But the open-bolt semi’s must have been manufactured prior to the mg ban and thus are ‘grandfathered’ in to being legal in that configuration. Good luck to me finding one for sale, right? Would it be legal for me to buy it in any case without going the NFA route? Otherwise, I am looking at closed-bolt semi’s only, right?
On the Cobray sight, they have a magazine that will work, they write: “ IN SWD M11/9 OR SWD M11/380 A1 SMG "This Mag Will NOT Work in a M12/380 , M11/380 RPB or Powder Springs SMGâ€. So what is the difference between the SWD M11/380 AI SMG, and the M11 or M12 in 380 by RPB or Powder springs?
I am sure your kind answers will only cause me to have more questions.
Thanks,

p.s please, if the main theme of your post is "MACs suck" please state some cogent and rreasoned opinions as to why, rather than leaving the sentiment/statement to stand alone.
