The correct designation for what is sometimes called a Tech-9, Tek-9, etc. It is a semi-auto only 9mm pistol made by IntraTec. It never has been a machine gun, machine pistol, or sub-machine gun. It has never been used by military or police units. It is a favorite of people who don't know jack about firearms.
The TEC-9 is not a machine gun.
