Template:Infobox weapons
For the weapon category, see Machine Pistols.
The Machine Pistol is a submachine gun appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, where it is known as the Tec9. 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 manufactured by Vom Feuer.
Design
3D Universe
The weapon is based on the TEC-9. In reality, the TEC-9 is a semi-automatic weapon, although it can be illegally converted quite easily to fire in full-auto. For this reason, it is popular amongst criminals, befitting its inclusion in the Grand Theft Auto games.
Grand Theft Auto V
Template:Next-Gen Available in both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Machine Pistol retains some the original design of the TEC-9, though it is now modeled after the TEC-DC9 variant, which has a sling ring on the back of the gun (instead of the left side for the original TEC-9). The default magazine is also much shorter and holds 12 rounds instead of the 50 rounds from previous games.
Performance
3D Universe
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Tec-9 is one of the most versatile weapons in the series, as it offers good fire rate and mobility, as well as the ability to perform a Drive-By. While sharing a similar damage to the Uzi, it has greater ammunition capacity, increasing the chances of hitting a target. However, it lacks good range compared to both the Uzi and the MP5 and therefore, is only reliable at short to medium distances.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Tec-9 has a slow fire rate, but is compensated by a lower recoil. When the Hitman skill level is reached, the Tec-9 can be dual-wielded, allowing for an increased ammo and more possibilities to neutralize a target. Also, firing while in a vehicle increases the weapons fire rate tremendously compared to the normal fire rate while on foot, being a perfect choice for car chases or as a mean to neutralize police cars.

Reload Mechanism | Reload Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 (GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas) | 250 (GTA Vice City) | 30 / 98 (GTA Vice City) | 50 (GTA Vice City) | N/A | 500 (GTA Vice City) |
| N/A | 240 RPM | Cannot be determined | 50-round standard magazine (All games) | Charging handle | 0.5 seconds |
Grand Theft Auto V
For a submachine gun, the Machine Pistol offers particularly good performance. It has the second highest damage per shot value of SMGs, only outclassed by the Combat PDW, and a rather high fire rate (on par with the standard SMG). The result is a high damage-per-second value of 229, making it a valuable weapon to use in close-quarters combat, rivaling with other assault rifles in terms of damage per second.
The Machine Pistol's biggest downside is its mere 12-round magazine which will force the user to reload very often, as the weapon's high fire rate will empty magazines very quickly. Although the reload time isn't very long, it still leaves the player vulnerable during the animation. Thus, magazine modifications are almost essential when using the weapon.
For a submachine gun, the Machine Pistol offers good accuracy as the viewkick isn't very noticeable, making the weapon helpful for longer-range engagements. However, the lack of optical attachments as well as the muzzle flash and iron sights may discourage one to use this weapon on longer ranges.
The only attachments the weapon can equip is the Extended Clip, Suppressor and eventually, a Drum Magazine. The extended clip attachment increases the mag capacity to 20-round, which will not resolve the reload issue but will make it less problematic. Drum magazines have a 30-round magazine capacity, making them very helpful.
In conclusion, the Machine Pistol is a strong SMG to use, combining high damage per shot and fire rate, with the magazine capacity and lack of attachments as downsides.

Trivia
3D Universe
- The Tec-9 has no recoil animation in GTA San Andreas.
- If players were to turn the "Pedestrians have guns" cheat in GTA Vice City or GTA LCS, the Tec-9 will be one of their main weapons, along with the pistol.
- In GTA San Andreas, the Tec-9 shares the same weapon skill with the Micro SMG, and both level up through the use of either weapon.
- In GTA San Andreas, Tec-9 has a much slower fire rate when crouch-shooting.
- The Tec-9 is used by all Los Santos-based gangs in missions only, while it is only used by members of the Grove Street Families until it is replaced by the SMG when all gang tags are sprayed over.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Machine Pistol uses the same reload animation for all magazine mods. Thus, when reloading with a drum magazine, the player character's hand will clip through it.
- For some reason, HUD stats suggests that the Machine Pistol have higher fire rate, higher accuracy and lower magazine size compared to the current Social Club stats.[1]
