The MC-10 is a 9 mm machine pistol that remains unused by any faction in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire Creator DLC.
Overview[]
- This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.
The MC-10 is a selective-fire, straight blowback-operated machine pistol that is chambered for the 9×19 mm cartridge.
It can feed from 32-round straight box magazines and has a muzzle velocity of 365 m/s.[CfgWp 8] The MC-10 can attain a fire rate of up to ~ 1,428 rounds per minute when firing on full auto[CfgWp 9][Formula 1] or only ~ 1,276 RPM when toggled to fire on semi-automatic.[CfgWp 10][Formula 2]
MC-10s cannot be fitted with optical sights and their ironsights are restricted to a fixed zeroing of 100 metres.[CfgWp 11] However, it is possible to mount a dedicated 9 mm sound suppressor onto its muzzle.[CfgWp 12]
Ironsights[]

The MC-10 uses a fixed zeroing of 100 metres.[CfgWp 11][CfgWp 13] It is not possible to manually adjust it to a higher nor lower zeroing setting.[CfgWp 14][note 1]
Melee[]
Melee attacks with the MC-10 always involve striking at targets with a buttstroke. Attacks can inflict a maximum of up to 7 points of damage if the buttstroke connects with the target.[CfgAm 1]
It should be noted that melee attacks cost stamina and will drain 2.992 points of stamina[Formula 3] whenever a buttstroke is performed.[SCR 1]
Ammunition[]
Ammo parameter | 9 mm (Ball/Tracer) |
---|---|
Base damage value | 7.5[CfgAm 2] |
Aerodynamic friction | -0.001513[CfgAm 3] |
Muzzle velocity (m/s) | 366 [CfgMa 2][note 2] Actual: 365 [CfgWp 8][note 3] |
Expected velocity (m/s) | 360 [CfgAm 4][note 4] |
Penetration depth (mm) | 4.392 [CfgAm 5][Formula 4] Actual: 4.38 [Formula 5][note 5] |

MC-10s can be loaded with two types of magazines.[CfgWp 15] Both share the same weight value of 6[CfgMa 3] "mass" units:
32Rnd. MC-10 SMG Mag[]

Straight box magazine loaded with 9 mm ball and tracer ammunition.[CfgMa 4]
Every fourth round fired will emit a visible red tracer.[CfgMa 5] However, the last four rounds of the magazine will always consist of tracers.[CfgMa 6]
32Rnd. MC-10 SMG Mag (Tracer)[]

Alternate 32-rounder magazine loaded entirely with 9 mm red tracer ammunition.[CfgMa 7][CfgMa 8]

Trivia[]
- Its stock will automatically retract when not in use and expand again upon being equipped.
- Its Field Manual entry erroneously states that the MC-10 feeds from 30-round magazines despite the fact that the in-game weapon can only use 32-round magazines.
- The MC-10's reloading sound was changed after Update 1.2's release.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The MC-10's discreteDistance array technically has a second element that would theoretically allow it to be zeroed up to a setting of 200 metres. However, because the maxZeroing token is set to a value of 100 metres, this prevents the 200 metre setting from being usable.
- ↑ This muzzle velocity value (366 m/s) only applies to the magazine itself. The weapon's initSpeed value (365 m/s) always takes precedence over the magazine's initSpeed since it is not defined as a coefficient.
- ↑ This is the MC-10's actual muzzle velocity. The weapon class initSpeed value (365 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (366 m/s).
- ↑ Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
- ↑ This is the actual penetration depth of the MC-10's 9 mm ammunition. The weapon class initSpeed value (365 m/s) takes precedence over the magazine initSpeed value (366 m/s), affecting its penetration formula as a result.
