Closing thoughts
The MAC-10 is a fantastic weapon with stunning movement accuracy (a fantastic trait for a Terrorist SMG) and low cost. It is kept balanced by its low armour penetration.
As the most expensive SMG at $2350, purchasing the P90 is hard to justify. What it lacks in practicality it makes up for in aggression, with high armour penetration, extremely fast rate of fire and massive magazine all contributing to a style of engagement that can overwhelm unprepared opponents.
