In show
This weapon was tested against the CIA's Ingram MAC-10 in eliminating five targets. The Skorpion delivered three kills but left one wounded and one alive in 12 seconds while the MAC-10 delivered five kills in 20 seconds. The edge was given to the MAC-10 for its heavier .45 caliber, 30-round magazine, faster rate of fire, and better accuracy.
