Give me a description of the Cobray Mac 10. Don't think I've seen one.

Thumbs down

Having handled and shot both the full auto and the semi-auto versions - NO. It's functional and reliable, but is lacking in quality and ergonomics. The SA model often has trigger slap, making it uncomfortable to shoot. The accuracy is just so-so at best. There are far better pistol-caliber carbines out there.
I simply don't have any use for a "bullet hose", to quote the morons at HCI/VPC. Just my personal preference.

The Cobray makes the STEN look GOOD!

If it was FREE, or dirt cheap, yes.

if it was super cheap. A friend has one (I haven't asked him about CA legality, if it's registered or not - I haven't seen or touched it and don't need to know) - he said accuracy is poor but great for short range plinking fun (again, only if it's el cheapo).

Talking

If ya get one, you'll be buying ammo by the case!

Gotta admit - they are rather fun on full Rock&Roll. . .

Add a suppressor, and you have the ultimate Yard Varmint Exterminator!

Realistically, the value on all F/A's is rising. It's a better investment than any other. My buddy's MAC has increased in value by 50% in three years.

I think troylaplante described it best as, "The Ghettto Grease Gun." :nod: Don't need that gun or see any civilian use for it other than as a collectors item.

you're still thinking about that P38/P1 ? get it already and give us a range report :right: you'll never beat those AIM prices IMO. The sig will be around for a while
