Tec-9

The Vom Feuer TEC-DC 9 (also known as TEC-9) is a light submachine gun appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It was added to Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the GTA Online: Lowriders Update for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC versions of the game, where it is known as the "Machine Pistol".

The TEC 9 has a slow fire rate. It holds 50 rounds per magazine in the 3D Universe, and is commonly used by gangs. When the Hitman skill level is reached in GTA San Andreas, the TEC 9 can be dual-wielded.

3D Universe
The TEC 9 is a cheap open-bolt handgun manufactured in the United States between 1980 to 1994 by Intratec. It is based on the Carl-Gustav M/45 submachine gun, more commonly known as the "Swedish K". Originally it was designed as a low-cost alternative to the M/45, but never found a military market. Not wanting to abandon the idea, Intratec put semi-automatic versions onto the civilian market. It gained infamy after criminals found the open-bolt design to be easily convertible to be fully automatic.

GTA Online
The Machine Pistol retains some the original design of the TEC 9, however it features a longer barrel, whuch is closely proportional to the rest of the weapon. The default magazine clip is also much shorter.

 * If players were to turn the "Pedestrians have guns" cheat in GTA: VC, the TEC 9 will be one of their main weapons along with the pistol.
 * In GTA: SA, the TEC 9 shares the same weapon skill as the Micro Uzi and both level up through the use of either weapon.
