The M-10 is unique in its small size, hardly larger than handguns like the 1911, Browning P35 (High Power), or Beretta 92. Rumor has it Ingram locked WerBell in a hotel room until he came up with the suppressor design but given WerBell’s clandestine background, with the OSS and other alphabet agencies, which included dropping rats infected with Bubonic Plague over North VietNam, its more likely Ingram kept him well fed and tempted with fine scotch till he finished. It was generally paired with a SIONICS suppressor designed by Mitch WerBell. It was designed by Gordon Ingram who founded the Military Armament Corporation (MAC). With that foundation we have the M-10, a perfect example of Gen III SMGs. Class leaders are the FN P90 and the HK MP7. These PDWs (Personal Defense Weapons), no longer fire pistol cartridges but are still compact and less powerful than rifles. Gen V–The newest class is somewhat more than a SMG and less than a rifle.

The term Machine Carbine became popular as guns in this class are usually part of a greater collection of arms from the same manufacturer and hence share much of the same manual of arms and feel if not common parts.
Gen IV–These guns take the quality build even further and while stamped or sometimes cast parts are used, any resemblance to war time guns is gone. The Sterling is perhaps the Gold Standard of this class but it lacks the magazine in the hand grip, so prevalent amongst its peers, such as the UZI, VZ26, and M-10 This generation of guns also made use of the telescoping bolt principal, to reduce the overall length of the weapon. These guns continued to be built from stampings but were generally of a better quality and built to higher standards then war time production demands permitted. There was still some interest and a new breed of smaller / lighter guns filled that niche. Gen III–The SMG largely peaked with WW2 and with the advent of Assault Rifles and Intermediate Cartridges, the world began to look past SMGs. Even though the Papa Shaw (PPSh41 has a wood stock, it is still largely made from stampings. Gen II guns are typified by the STEn, M3 (Grease Gun), PPSh41 and PPS43. The need for greater numbers, faster production, and lower cost, lead to guns being produced from steel stampings with cruder finish. Gen II–World War Two began with armies carrying Gen I guns, Thompson’s, Lancaster’s, MP28’s Beretta M38’s, etc. They have nicely finished machined steel parts and wood stocks. Generation I guns can be identified by their old world quality.

They fire PISTOL cartridges, are FULL AUTO, and have a BUTTSTOCK as part of the original design (not an after thought). In fact that same snail drum was used on the Bergmann MP 18.
They were the next step after Stocked Pistols like the Mauser Broomhandle and the Artillery Lugers with snail drum magazines.
These guns ran the trenches at the end of World War One. First let’s start with the different generations of Sub Machine Guns. To fully appreciate the weapon some history is necessary but trust me I won’t make you memorize dates or ancient battles.
