(Note to anyone whos going to edit this article: This article is about the original M-11, and not the later SWD M-11/9 which is a different gun. Also, please give your reasons for changing/removing any if this information and review what has been said in the discussion tab.)
Stop talking about the SWD M-11/9 in this article. The name of this article is MAC-11, which IS the .380 ACP gun that was designed by Gordon Ingram, the inventer of the M-10 and the founder of the Military armament Corparation. The SWD M-11/9 isnt really a MAC at all; it was not designed by Ingram, and was never built at 'MAC'. This is talked about in the link in the sources area.
also, the sub-heading "THE .380 VERSION OF THE M-11 NOT AS POPULAR AS THE 9MM VERSION" this does not need to be said since this article is not about 9mm m-11's, which is the completely different SWD m-11/9, again, this article has nothing to do with a an SWD M-11. and this sub-heading sounds completely non-academic.

Ok, someone (ip: 71.99.30.47) wrongly edited the article and replaced correct information with the common misunderstandings surrounding this weapon. I'm going to revert back to an older article and make some changes. I will add sources later when have access to physical source i have. (OC) (7/7/06)
Bolded title, wikify and linked magazine to magazine artillery.--Dakota 22:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
This is so stupid: “ranges up to 30 yards—but averages about 25 meters." Did someone actually compare yards to meters? These are 2 different types of measurements and are like comparing apples to oranges! [unsigned]
The section on limited use had a comment that read:
"considered to not have enough stopping power, and to be slightly gay."
I'm no weapons expert, but I don't think "gay" is a proper, unbiased, and unopinionated description of the MAC-11. NDale 21:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Why is this weapon categorized as a firearm component? 24.107.145.92 (talk) 21:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I've swapped the infobox pictures again. The article is about the Ingram Mac-11 submachine gun in .380ACP, so the infobox really should have a picture of the actual weapon in question. The Cobray semi-automatic pistol in 9x19mm is similarly named, but is not the subject of the article. A reference and picture of said is great since it is a Mac-clone though.--Surv1v4l1st (Talk|Contribs) 16:25, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
To address the issue of the ROF, page 216 of Cartridges and Firearm Identification states the following: "The MAC-11, chambered in .380 ACP, offers one of the highest rates of fire of a mechanically operated machine gun, firing in the range of 1,200 rounds per minute." Per WP:HIJACK, if someone would like to challenge this figure, then they should insert a new source that corroborates the differing figure, rather than just inserting a new number which contradicts the source.
