The Mac-10 and You!
By Wackky
So you've just joined Counter Strike Source, maybe you're in a normal match or maybe you're playing Gun Game. Then all of a sudden, you come across a weapon. A strange weapon that you don't quite know how to handle. A weapon that is light but generally sucks at shooting anything beyond a metre or two and as soon as you shoot, it almost flies out of your hands. Well my friends, that is the Mac-10. In this guide, I will teach you the proper way to handle this mysterious piece of American tehcnology and how not to look like a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥ when using it.

So what is this... THING?
The Mac-10 is a machine pistol that can only be used by the Terrorists (Both sides can use it in Gun-Game). For a mere price of $1400, you have the benefit of not being able to hit anything and also experience an absured amount of recoil.
Fortunately, this turd of a gun is very light so you can move at maximum speed at the expense of your skill and gameplay ability. Amazingly, it can also shoot underwater. So if you're ever on vacation with your team and you encounter the enemy while swimming at the beach, you'll know what gun to choose.The Mac-10 is still absolutely awful to use underwater so I wouldn't be choosing it if I was you.
lol someone is actually using it.
Advantages and Disadvatanges. (Mostly disadvantages)
Advantages
High rate of fire (So you can run out of bullets in an instant)
Medium damage (As long as you don't aim for anything below the head)
Cheap (Believe me. You get what you pay for)
Lightweight (You will be able to circumnavigate de_dust 2 before the buying time is over)

Disadvantages
Bad accuracy. (Believe me. You won't hit anything).
High recoil. Hold on tight!
It practically says that you have no money and will do absolutely anything to try and get a kill.
Such spray. Much recoil.
Tactics and Countertactics
Tactics
1. Don't buy or use it.
2. Spray and pray.
3. Attempt to aim at the head.
4. Don't buy or use it.
5. Try and stay about 1 metre next to your enemy before shooting it.
6. Switch to your sidearm.
7. Switch to your knife.
8. Don't buy or use it.
9. Throw a grenade or something in an attempt to kill your enemy without having to use the weapon.
10. Don't buy or use it.

Countertactics
1. Stand a metre or more away if you see an enemy with the weapon.
2. Do whatever the hell you want because they probably won't be able to hit ♥♥♥♥.
3. Use any weapon apart from the Mac 10.
4. Laugh at them as they attempt to use it.
The Mac-10, down on the ground where it belongs.
Oh and the achievement
There's an achievement for getting kills with the Mac 10 but good luck with that
The End
Well that's pretty much it for now.. I hope you enjoyed reading my guide. Rate it up, comment on it, send me a pigeon with your fan mail or abuse. I don't mind.
Most importantly, try to remember that the Mac-10 might not be the best weapon to use in-game when you're short of cash.

if you just control recoil aiming at torso area in medium ranges you get headshots 60-70% of the time but the damage is so bad anyone with armor can outlive it if you dont hit your entire mag on them

It's STILL better than the UMP somehow

honestly it aint that bad IMO. maybe ive just been lucky with it but it feels pretty comparable to the other smg's to me (minus the p90) and definitely feels like a big improvement from the schmidt (more like ♥♥♥♥)
