Why the Worst Gun Design Became Iconic

The TEC-9, the most recognizable silhouette of the 1990s, appears in every action movie, rap music video, and news bulletin. But the TEC-9 was originally built as a weapon of war. And its appearance on the streets was the result of an engineering error. In this episode of Armory Tech Insights, we examine a piece that went from war to the streets. Originally designed by George Kellgren as a military machine gun in a peaceful Swedish workshop, the Interdynamic MP9 was rejected as "too crude" and "too simple." When it moved to Miami at the height of the 1980s drug war, it became the cheapest and most aggressively styled firearm on the market; but beneath the steel casing lay a mechanical nightmare.
