It is chambered in either [[.45 ACP]] or [[9Γ19mm Parabellum|9mm]]. A two-stage suppressor by Sionics was designed for the MAC-10, which not only abates the noise created but makes it easier to control on full automatic (although it also makes the gun far less compact and concealable).<ref>{{cite book |title=Modern Warfare |editor1-last=Dartford |editor1-first=Mark |year=1985 |publisher=Marshall Cavendish Books |location=London |isbn=0-86307-325-5 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/modernwarfare0000unse }}</ref> Military Armament Corporation never used the "MAC-10" nomenclature in its catalogues or sales literature, but "MAC-10" is frequently used by [[Title II weapons|Title II]] dealers, gun writers, and collectors.<ref name="MAC-10 name origin">{{cite news |last1=Iannamico |first1=Frank |title=Manufacturing History of Ingram-MAC Type Firearms |url=http://smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3191 |access-date=25 February 2025 |work=Small Arms Review Magazine |issue=20 |publisher=Chipotle Publishing, LLC |date=January 2016 |archive-url=http://archive.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3191 |archive-date=20 November 2015}}</ref> For a decade, the semi-automatic pistol version of the weapon was forbidden in the U.S. under the assault weapons ban enacted by Congress in 1994.
