And/or a progressive loading press and a huge stockpile of primers, powder, cases, and bullets. So, when it all goes wahoonie shaped, I hope your friend has a large stockpile of cases of ammo. Bottom line: They all took 2 seconds to empty their magazines. There was some variance in the magazine capacity (20, 32, 30) depending on the weapon and of course, each weapon had different rate of fire.
#Mac 10 9mm conversion full#
On an episode of Mythbusters, they compared full auto MACs (don’t remember if it was a 9 or 10), UZIs (not the mini or micro), and M-16s. …a full-auto machine pistol is good for quickly clearing a room or other confined space, period. Semiauto is the way to go, even in most military settings. If the ammo had actually been used, there wouldn’t be any zombies left to bother you.īetter question: why would you want one? Automatic firearms are hard to control. And in The Walking Dead, many places evidently were hit/evacuated so fast that store shelves are basically full. It wouldn’t be hard to search around and find some pretty good piles of it. Granted, this is getting into Café territory, but that’s not true unless everyone uses the ammo. Note that the booklet is for informational purposes only, and that it is illegal to actually do the conversion. Why go to the trouble of converting, when you can just pick one up from a dead guy? Imagine how hard it would be to find when every living person is trying to stock up.Īnother thing is this: If you really need a fully automatic firearm after the collapse of civilisation, it probably won’t be that hard to just find one. Ammunition disappears from store shelves whenever there is a hint of more government regulation. In an actual zombie apocalypse, they’re going to run out of ammo mighty quick. People are always blasting away on full-auto for no rational reason (other than audiences like it). This is a pet peeve of mine when I watch shows like The Walking Dead. Of course in case of the collapse of civilisation, you’re probably not concerned about federal laws.Īnd your friend sounds like a yahoo a full-auto machine pistol is good for quickly clearing a room or other confined space, period. The ads said that you need a Class III permit to buy them.
Last time I was casually browsing gun parts (I still have a ‘retro-M16’ semi-auto project I’m building – waiting for the proper upper receiver) I noticed people selling full-auto parts. You can’t even make a drop-in auto sear since (I think) the late-'80s, as it is considered a ‘machine gun’ in itself. A drop-in auto sear you can probably make with a hunk of metal and a file (plus a spring and a pin). IANA machinist, but machining the receiver doesn’t look very difficult. There are two ways around this: Machine the area inside of the lower receiver to match M-16 specs and drill a hole for the pin or make a drop-in auto sear. The M-16 automatic sear will not fit in an AR-15. You also need an automatic sear, or else your hammer will follow the bolt carrier and you may detonate the cartridge before the bolt is locked.
These are the hammer, trigger, disconnecter, selector, and bolt carrier. They directly replace the semi-auto parts. The AR-15 is very easy to convert if you have access to M-16 parts. Dunno for the MAC-10, but many such as the AR-15 are definitely manufactured now so you’d need a whole replacement receiver.
