Ingram M10 & M11 SMGs: The Originals from Powder Springs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- After the commercial failure of Gordon Ingram’s M6 submachine gun in the early 50s, we would radically change the layout of his designs. Instead of a Thompson lookalike Ingram’s M10 (the M7, M8, and M9 doing experimental prototypes only) would be a boxy and compact affair with a Czech-style telescoping bolt. It found little interest until a meeting between Gordon Ingram and Mitch WerBell resulted in WerBell demonstrating it to excited military audiences in Vietnam in 1969.
WebBell was an ex-OSS man who had started a company called Sionics, selling suppressors to the US military. He thought the combination of Ingrams submachine gun and his suppressor would be a fantastic package, and he found plenty of interest in special operations personnel in Vietnam. He would create the Military Armament Corporation based at his farm in Powder Springs, GA and entice Ingram to join as his chief engineer. The result would be the .45ACP M10, a 9mm version of the M10 (made for use with subsonic 9mm ammunition), and a scaled-down .380 ACP M11 submachine gun.
MAC would have a short life, with all its assets sold at a bankruptcy auction in April 1976 - but it had plenty of time to create what would become an iconic gun - the Big MAC. Many imitations and copies would follow, but Powder Springs was the home of true original Ingram M10 and M11 submachine guns!

Strange on how aesthetic this rapid firing rectangle attached to other rectangles is.
Well put
It is the most aesthetically pleasing firearm in existence as far as I’m concerned.
Its like a minimalist designed gun. Its just so clean and no-nonsense looking.
Looks like that British dudes homemade design
You mean luty?
16:30 Sometimes, military guys just come up with the best one-liners. There was a marine commander in Korea, who when completely surrounded apparently said; "We've been searching for the enemy for some time. They're now in front of us, behind us, to our left, and to our right. They can't get away now."
Great quotes thanks for the link
now i know who inspired the tf2 soldier
As the son of a Marine, I've been recounted this story many times.
"Sir, we're surrounded!"
"Excellent. Now we can fire in every direction."
Reminds me of ferdinand foch " my centre is giving way my right is in retreat situation excellent i will attack"
"Bullet hose" is a dead-on accurate assessment. I have a 10 and an 11, and they're fine firearms for as crudely as they were manufactured. Very sturdy and reliable.
What he didn't tell us, and what is very east to miss about these SMGs, is that the cocking knob is also a safety feature. If you rotate it 90 degrees, to where you can't see the sights through the two grooves cut in it, the bolt can not be drawn to the rear position.
All in all, great little guns. But you'll burn through a LOT of ammo.
Hmm.. 🤔. I didn't know that 😉🤪
Ahh yes the other safety…
Where’s the first at can’t put my finger on it
I didn't know that little fact, thank you!!

It was his drug addiction that got him killed. Heroin makes you constipated that's why he was always "taking a shit" he decided butch had bugged out so he set down his gun and tried to empty his bowels....
@@IMN602 hmmm
@@IMN602 i'm pretty sure he got actually hit by those bullets
Wasn't it Marsellus gun that he left when he went to get food?
I felt bad for him but he would've died anyway with his addiction and line of work. Seems fitting that his addiction did get him killed by the gun he carried in his line of work.
How Ingram got a double stack single feed grease gun magazine to cycle over 1000 rounds per minute is a mystery to me.
I just double checked - the 9mm variant was 1200rpm and higher (up to 1500).
Is there a problem?
I want to see that ! It’s in theory only ! You’d melt the barrel for one. Also you’d have to have a very long mag that’d actually work !
Think of it like this. You need one target DEAD, no matter what, including your whole team wiped, and just you. This gun would gaurentee SOMETHING hits the target, in a very, VERY short amount of time. Thats why. If your reloading when using this gun, your likely already dead. Perfect for very spall spaces where plenty of stuffs around for a longer mag to get stuck on (the whole gunfight in a phone booth thing). THis is for when your in the room with the target, or potentially could be in the room.
@mgabrysSF Most run about 1400 rpm- 1380-1420 is about the norm for 115 grain 9×19 sjhp's. Damn nasty little bastard's 😕! Aim between the knees and the last couple will come out, in the back of the throat & forehead. The last 10 will be all over the place, over the head. Alot came out with Cobray can's.

Keep em coming I'd hate to " suppress " anyone's creativity....😉
You silenced me.
poor Gordon Ingram
, it is always sad when a guy is thrown out of his own company.
I'm not so sure about "poor". By the sound of it, he may have slightly misrepresented the situation while luring financiers. Their subsequent animosity is understandable.
I have no pity for them, if you make your company publicly traded and sell more than 50-55% of the shares... it's your own fault not keeping an absolute controlling interest in the company that even a hostile takeover cant be done. They see $$$$$$$ up the wazoo and get greedy, and then there is Hubris... "No way would anyone remove me, I started this company, I have the vison that made it great!"... except greedy shareholders don't always share the same vision and want all the money right now vision and quality be dammed.
It's not sad, it is pathetic.
@@JETWTF good point, I did not see it this way. But as Ian and many others said, gun maker and entrepreneurs are usually quite short on the money. I guess nobody easily gives away shares, but it is better than going bankrupt.
I also think that some investors see the potential and are greedy and want full shares or nothing.

In the mid 1980's these were VERY popular, especially here in Miami, Florida. I had my own FFL at the time and I would buy semi-auto (closed bolt) MAC-10's by the case. Even though this version was semi-auto only, it was basically the same firearm minus the retractable shoulder stock and of course, no full auto select-fire (semi-auto and SAFE selectable only). People didn't seem to care though and I sold loads of them (legally). Miami Vice was in production back then and the show popularized the MAC-10 like crazy. My (dealer) cost on them was $299.99 and I sold them for $400 all day long. They also made a fake suppressor which cost an additional $29.99. It was actually a real suppressor minus the internal baffles, and the removable end cap was welded in place. Most people wanted to also buy the faux suppressor for two reasons. One, it gave the weapon a nicer/cooler appearance, and two, as indicated in the video, it made firing the MAC-10 much easier, not to mention safer, because the suppressor could be used as a forend/grip. Firing it semi-auto didn't generate the heat the full-auto version does so people always wanted to include the faux suppressor.
In the mid 80's all the MAC-10's I bought were stamped as having been made in Stephenville, Texas and did NOT have the Cobray logo. IMHO, the semi-auto MAC-10 wasn't very much fun to shoot but lots of people would practice firing them at their side at the hip line by holding the weapon by the grip and looping their thumb through the belt loop of the pants to secure and make the weapon as stationary as possible. With some practice, one could employ the "bump-fire" method to fire the MAC-10. Most semi-auto MAC-10's were merely bought for show anyway. Most people fired them once (if ever) and would attach the faux suppressor and hang them on the wall in their man cave for people to look at (yes, some people actually did that back then). I had a 9mm and .45 acp pair for years until I got tired of looking at them and sold them off a few years ago. The semi-auto versions were great to look at but were rather boring to shoot. Today if you felt the need to strap yourself with a high capacity 9mm pistol you'd be better off buying a Glock 17 (or equivalent) with a 33 round extended magazine or a drum or tandem drum magazine. You would have a far better shooting experience and you'd have a decent pistol, too.
I bought a second-hand Cobray M11 in the late 90s because ... well looks cool. Worst gun I ever owned. Was a civilian semi-auto only, in 9mm para. You couldnt hit a barn door from 10 yards with it. Worst ergonomics, worst sights, sharp edge trigger guard, etc. But the worst was that every so often the bullets went sideways through the paper targets, and I am talking like 10-15 yards away. Not sure what made those bullets tumble, but I sold it after a few months anyway.
thought for a second you were talking about miami antartica :P
Green refrigerator, did you buy your MAC10s from a company named DSI ( Defense Systems International) out of Marietta, Ga?
Just asking because I worked there part time for & with Perry ( owner), my full time job I worked for Mitchell iv & Geoffrey ( the generals sons) at Brigade Quartermasters for several years.
And you bet ya, that gun is hard to shoot, aim, hit the target or hold any length of time.
DSI would have the MACs drop shipped to our customers out of Stephenville, Tx.
Thanks for writing such a good, detailed anecdote about your experience with it.
@@patrickrossi75 You forgot "trigger slap" with the semis. What an awful experience those were to shoot.

Well, they're pretty great for any sort of encounter where you want to conceal as much firepower as possible. In a similar way to how gangsters used them for drive-bys, they're incredible in the hands of people like bodyguards, such as the Secret Service, who can reasonably conceal them under their suits and be ready for a fight. Guns like the MP9/Russian PP-2000 fulfill this role a bit better, but the MAC10 and the Micro-Uzi are the predecessors of those.
Томас Андерсон yeah if you have like 5 people strap with these under suits it will get the job done😂😂😂
This guns are infamous here in Colombia. The perfect guns for Pablo Escobar's sicarios: 2 young assasins from the poorest Medellin neighborhoods, no helmets, fast Yamaha 2 stroke enduro bikes, a MAC or MAC clone in any caliber, and you have a perfect killing machines. In 1984, Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla was killed in that way. in 1989, presidential candidate Carlos Galán was killed in a political rally, a sicario manages to go under the stage when he was giving a speech, the wood floor was no match for the spray of bullets underneath, and his bulletproof vest was usless when you have bullets entering in your crotch.
I never realized the hitman fired from underneath the stage I always assumed he just got in front of him and opened fire
Yeah that was on Narcos on Netflix. But didn’t know they actually shot him from below the stage.
@@colombianguy8194 Yeah the show was based on real events and it was crazy how shit hit the fan there. Especially after Escobar blowing up that plane. But didn’t know the real monitory of justice name thanks for sharing
@@colombianguy8194 And to also make things more interesting is that I live in Marietta Georgia and had no idea that the Mac 10/11 was Invented in Powder Springs then later manufactured in my home town lol
People: Do we have to be surprised that the gun and the use of a biker assassin was introduced to Escobar and the Cartel by an ex Mossad???
I hear the SAS used them when in plain clothes in N.Ireland. They called them 'glovebox guns'. The idea being that if their car was ambushed or caught at a roadblock they could quickly get it out of the glove box and spray in the enemies' direction to suppress them whilst making their get away.
I mean nothing makes someone wanna NOT approach your care like suddenly having 1000+ rounds spat at them. Its like charging someone with a handheld GAU-8
So that’s why they’re in R6S

I see that RUclips forced Ian to blur out a part of this video where he shows how to "modify a firearm" which is showing how he... puts the suppressor onto the gun?
Couldn't show him "screwing" it
I remember that the video for Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Love Missile F-111" used to be censored on RUclips for exactly the same reason - there's a short clip of one of the members of the band screwing a suppressor onto an M10 or M11 in the back of a car. I think it was a homage to a scene from the original Assault on Precinct 13.
great to see them together

@@kais2345 from the size and rate of fire I'd say they were Mac 10.
Man, seeing how bulky an ingram/MAC-10 is in real life makes me see how real CS:GO's description of a 'box that bullets come out of' is.
I've been getting some pretty decent headshots with the MAC. Rushing AWPers is the easiest way since they can't react fast enough to the guns high rate of fire. They get stunned. Its a box of bullets and gets the job done!
Samarai: Maybe bulky, but remember this is 1970s and no real competing gun available for some good more years before the UZI appears.

Hail gun Jesus may his teachings be long remembered in gun scripture
I was being shown a small private gun collection of almost all shotguns and hunting rifles when the owner suddenly pulls out a Mac 10. I was not expecting it.
I had the pleasure of being able to fire a MAC 10 with an Ingram silencer pretty much whenever we went shooting.The silencer, still had an intact insulator sleeve.
Due to the rate of fire you really had to bare down on it,although the silencer did make it easier.
If you did your part it would produce some fairly decent groups.
It was always fun to watch somebody dumping a mag as there would be a cascade of brass casings arching through the air.Always a blast.
Just an fyi, it's suppressor.

I remember going to gun shows, in the late '70s & early '80s, and seeing Mac10 being sold to civilians. The guns were sold in semi-auto mode only, but heard talk saying they could fairly easily be converted to full-auto. When that talk got loud enough, the authorities step in, and the Mac10 disappear from the civilian market.
The open bolt models are few and hard to find.
Full autos were legal to civilians in lates 70s early 80s

Im not even a gun person but it does annoy me when that happens
When I was a kid I wanted one of these so badly. Now that I'm an adult, I still want one of these so badly.
Such a simple blocky design yet so beautiful
Back in the early 2000s (wow, hard to believe we can say that already ... where does time go?), I had an NFA dealer friend and he wound up with a suppressed M10 in .45 and one in 9x19 without a can. That was back in my SWAT days and I was regularly shooting a lot of various SMGs and automatic carbines like M4s and even an HK 53 (ah, now THERE's a cool gun to cover, though not exactly "Forgotten," I suppose). So, anyway, there I was all trained up and "experienced" and dude hands me the 9x19 M10 and tells me to do a full mag dump in a 55 gallon drum about ten steps away. Pffft, no problem. Okay ... I won't say the drum was safe, but only about 1/3 of the rounds hit it, LOL. Staying away from full mag dumps, however, it wasn't all that bad, but with that cyclic rate a "quick burst" was often more rounds than you intended. For their purpose, though, they were a cool design. Oh, the suppressed .45 version I shot was a lot more accurate than I thought it would be. Not a target piece by any means but quite capable (I did not opt for the full mag dump, LOL). The can made it hearing safe and I could hear the bullets tear through the plywood target backing quite clearly from 15 yards or so. Very interesting bit of history and honestly fun little guns.
It strikes me as one of the few SMGs were a two- or three-round burst would make more sense than full-auto.
If your intention was a quick burst with the least waste of ammo, you could've just tried the semi fire mode. Otherwise, dump the mag, best second of your shooting life, I imagine.
@Jay Arre it depends more on the weapon than the cartridge for accuracy/precision. Sure the round makes a difference but thats for longer range shooting like past 200-300m. Also .45acp has more recoil than 9mm which could make follow up shots harder.

My late grandfather was a long range reconnaissance patrol ranger in the Vietnam war, and listening to this, he definitely got to play with that thing. Love love love this video and the history there.
My Dad was issued one of these in the 80's while working undercover narcotics in S. FL. I was around 11 or 12 at the time and I had been shooting since I was 5, but for the life of me I couldn't hit anything with it as much as I tried. I remember the rate of fire was so intense that I'd hit the trigger for just a millisecond and would immediately see a dozen simultaneous dirt hits on the backstop. Absolutely insane. And you don't get much time to perfect the technique because the mags are empty after only a few attempts. So I never did get many good bursts to hit the target with the ammo I was given. Undercover cops back then were never really issued F/A weapons but there was a situation where a certain group of southern Italian businessmen obtained OCB agents personal information. It didn't take long for us to be targeted and after some dangerous interactions the M10 was issued and I found myself in my own real Miami Vice episode.

@@grahamlopez6202 yes cartridge vs bullet thanks Mr Allec.
I dont have the machine tool knowledge to do that and wouldnt do it anyway. Probably not worth the risk.
Not surprised got recommended this after the broken Mac 10 in warzone just got released
This is one of those strangely iconic guns that people just kind of... love.
I have one of the Ducktown, TN. Cobray semi versions, and friends love to shoot it. People at the local ranges stop and look at it.. They suck to shoot, but there's something inherently cool about them.
I've read some other comments on here about accuracy. I've never had any issues with mine. It has an old Beamshot laser on it, and years ago (I haven't shot it in quite some time) you could shoot smiley faces on targets at 10, 15, 20+ yards.
The "Trigger slap" of the semis is horrible. It has a small piece of rubber hose on the trigger to cushion it. For those unaware, when the design changed from full auto (Open bolt design) to semi-auto-only (closed bolt design) The modified bolt design caused the trigger to "slap back" every time the bolt cycled. It makes for a horrible and painful shooting experience. And yet, friends still love shooting this thing.
That's how you're gonna beat em Butch, they keep underestimating ya.
1st, maybe growing up in the 80's I love this piece. 2nd this channel is absolutely amazing. I don't think there is anything else on YT that packs this much information into a short amount of time, all delivered really nicely. Keep up the great work man!
These were prominently featured in nearly every "men's adventure" novel series during the '70s and '80s. Mack Bolan, Phoenix Force, Able Team, The Guardians, etc. Good times! 👍
Precious memeories!
Thanks for that.
Cro Minion I still have the entire Phoenix Force paperback book collection... somewhere!

MY FAVORITE WEAPONS!... HAD THEM FOR 13 YEARS!
I fired all three models in the late 70's and perhaps the early 80's.
The first was the M11 without the suppressor. It was the first fully auto gun I ever fired and I was totally astounded at the rate of fire.
I later shot the .45 and 9mm at a gun range (Red Bull?) down the street from Warbell's compound, which allowed you to fire fully automatic weapons.
If my memory is correct, the owner of the range was somehow involved with Warbell's Soldier of Fortune training facility.
As noted in another earlier post, the difference between being in Powder Springs, GA and Marietta, GA can literally be from one side of the street to the other, and to my knowledge the factory was always on Warbell's farm.
The Ingram.
A gun that was used by Snake.
A gun that was used by Max Payne.
A gun that is overall sexy and badass which I will never ever be able to obtain.
But still awesome gun.
I've seen them for 500 bucks at pawn shops, first one came with a case, 3 mags, and the supressor which is illegal AF. A full auto one is about 6 grand on gunbroker
If you say so, to me it sounds like an abortive mistake. He lost me at open bolt
Most submachiene guns are open bolt
@@grahamlopez6202 yeah but I'm a rifleman personally, really like weapons that won't accidentally blow off my fingers
Why do you think an open bolt weapon will blow off your fingers by accident?
Can't shoot your fingers off when you shoot it one handed sideways. A stocking cap and gold teeth complete the package!

I swear I've heard the "skip an M number assuming the military is going to use it" thing before.
Yeah, pretty sure it was mentioned in another Forgotten Weapons video(not necessarily on Ingrams). Seems redundant, though, wouldn't the military just assign it the next M number regardless?

@@aayushdas19 hell yeah bro
Ive always been really interested in the mac 10 culturally in films etc ,the way it looks a engineering masterpiece and i think a piece of art
Especially when you consider how simple it is, its all basically sheet metal. It definitely has a lot of cultural relevance though, even today. Just like the Uzi, AK, AR, Tech 9, etc.
They're honestly more than just tools at this point, they've become actual symbols. Hell, the flag of Mozambique has an AK on it 😅
I don't own guns, I don't use firearms but this was impressively informative. Good stuff, mate.
So the question is : did you invoke your inner SOG, collapse the stock, and use the front of the sling as a foregrip to clear some rooms before filming?
Well I dont see no camo facepaint on him so probably not
Werbell’s compound was right next to my high school( McEachern1978-82) . We would hear full auto gun fire often. Also got to meet Mitch Werbell....
Did anyone in the school complained about the gun shots disturbing class sessions?
How did you get to meet any of W family?
I heard the firing also, especially on warm days when windows were open.
That wellber guy must be reeeealy cool with this gun
My father bought one of the M10s with the suppressor when they had a fire sale back in the day. Actually, I think he may have bought a couple for friends in law enforcement. We used to take it out to the range and man, was it an attention getter! And it was indeed a very heavy gun. Super unwieldy without the suppressor on it.
I hope he still has it ? If not I bet he regrets getting rid of it
@@HairyKnuckles222 He sold it a long time ago before he passed away.
@@TheGeorgiaRover sorry to hear would of been good to have
when i was a teenager in the mid 90's i always dreamed of owning one of these things, alas i'm middle aged now and still don't own one.
Get one you won’t regret it.
@@alexnissley9848 not all of us live where that would be legal.....sigh, I agree that the Gun Laws in the US are not ideal either, but given how hard it is over here to actually only even SHOOT something automatic, its sad.
Ferdinand Humperdinck Laws are so dumb here I bought one but cost me $6300. Most full autos are $10000 upwards.
Yeah this is probably the cheapest full auto pre ban gun you can buy. 6,300$ is cheap though, good deal.
@@benhaney9629 I have seen some for $5000 and most are $8000, if you save up for a year or 2 you can definitely try and get your hands on one, just dont forget the nfa tax of $200.
Finally. You finally did a video on my favorite gun of all time. God they're beautiful.
Thank you, ive been hoping for this video. Can you do a comparison between the mac 11 and the uzi just because?
I was just about to post a very similar comment.
Micro uzi to be specific. Thats the closest looking uzi to the ingram
The Uzi fires at about ~600 rounds a minute, (call it 8-10 a second) the M11 runs at about 15-20 a second, it is a bullet hose, and the magazine doesn't last too long. But is it so much fun... On the Uzi, with practice, you can get single shots on full auto, on the M11, its double and triple taps.
Mini-Uzi is a better comparison.
Yeah, I'd lo9ve to see how the two of them stack up.
Not forgotten by a long shot. Ingram is iconic.
Ingrams and Suppressors
Name a more iconic duo
Sure miss my MAC 11 and being young with money to blow. I would reload all week ( which I enjoyed ) and then have two seconds of fun on the weekend. Collect brass and repeat. Those were the best days of my life.
Also was featured as Vincent Vega's (Travolta) sub gun (that he get's killed with while exiting the bathroom by Butch/Willis) in Pulp Fiction. Edit: Apparently the MAC was actually Marcellus'. He left it behind when he went for coffee. ; )
@@RicArmstrong Lol, I forgot about that!
Yup! That damn toaster caught me by surprise!
Just watched that a few hours ago and then this video was on my recommended list.
Edit: It was actually Marcellus' MAC. He had gone to get coffee and donuts and left the gun behind.
I never realized it was Marcellus' gun
I always liked the appearance and stock setup of the vz 61 scorpion over the various MAC's and Uzi's.
This will never be a forgotten weapon
My favourite looking guns of them all. Just love that rectangular look
Gotta point out Werbell lead a badass life, from the OSS, to making suppressors, to being a pmc and having assassinations attempts on his life
DEFINITE contender for "Most Interesting American". Like, he doesn't have the modern cultural impact of someone like Colonel Harlan Sanders (The KFC Guy), but they're both cut from the same kind of crazy. Like, ever met someone and thought like "THAT guy is the protagnoist. That's a motherfucker they're gonna make a movie about some day", yeah that's them.
Why on earth did RUclips blur out when he was screwing the suppressor on the gun?
New policy against "gun modification". Came in effect after the video was created.
In the late 70's early 80's I was a submarine in the Royal Navy, often working with the SBS. I was responsible for the torpedo compartment where they lived while on board, so spent a lot of time with them. At that time they were equipped with the MAC 11 (I think) though they never told me what they thought of them.
At the time a part of my job was responsibility for the boats boarding party weapons which were Sterling smg's. The only time they were used was when new trainees were given an introduction to them which included firing them at floating targets (obviously when we were on the surface), I demonstrated, firing one mag, and then they were each issued with one mag and I supervised them shooting. I always loaded an extra one so I could have another go. I remember passing long night watches stripping and cleaning them. Happy days.
Thank for your service David 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Can’t stop watching these videos
Jacket's Piece never felt more badass.
Loool "I'll just call it the M5, any M4 they adopt won't last very long."
That M4 is a carbine: there's never been a US M4 submachine gun.
IV8888 mentioned in one of his older videos that there was a company selling semiautomatic Mac 10 copies for something like $89 pre-Hughes Amendment and they would convert it to select fire for just $40 or something once you got your paperwork back.
Michael Ironside's gun in V (and just about everything he was in in the 80s)
KTo288 He comes with the gun.
I love guns, I love watching these kind of videos.
great video! love the history of the gun. i bought a new cobray m11 on gunbroker for $350 a few years ago this little brick keeps going up in value
It's 1980s Miami all over again. 😁😁😁
Man this video brings back all kinds of nostalgia. My Mother's M11 is what made me appreciate the 2nd Amendment as a kid in the 90's.
Best EDC ever.
Hollywood loved this firearm back in the 80's and 90's
My best friend had a MAC 11. Jesus, that thing was fun to shoot! RIP Scott!

@@nejlaakyuz4025 that's the beauty of the MAC. It's either wielded by someone who is massively over trained for the SMG or has never had formal training in their life.

@@kentlindal5422 you have a point
Matt from Demoranch has Gold Tommy Gun w/ a Gold drum mag..
This reminds of Barry from IV8888.
P.S. I think he was the best part of IV8888 channel along with Ray.
He talked about working for MAC in Georgia
Barry worked at RPB (jokingly called rape pillage and burn) making silencer parts for the MAC-10, he didn't work at MAC. Still was a hell of a story of getting behind the scenes of arguably one the most iconic guns in American history. May he rest in peace.
Yeah. IV8888 now is much closer to "just another generic gun channel". With Barry videos had a lot more "weight" behind them. Some people are hard to replace and then we can only be thankful for what they had done for us already.
Barry was the only thing that made IV8888 worth watching, his current content is just generic garbage, TFB TV went the same way when Alex C left.
The M-10 is serious and does a great job of speaking up for you!!!
