Ingram Model 6: Like A Thompson Without the Price Tag (Sort Of)
This video delves into the history and design of the Ingram Model 6 submachine gun, a firearm developed by Gordon Ingram before his more famous MAC-10. The Model 6, introduced in 1948, was intentionally designed to resemble the Thompson submachine gun but offered at a lower price point. The video details its development, marketing by the Police Ordnance Company, limited production numbers (around 2,000 units), and a licensing agreement for production in Peru. It also covers the different configurations (Police, Guard, Military) and calibers offered, noting that only the .45 ACP variant saw significant sales. The content highlights the Model 6 as an under-recognized piece of Ingram's firearm legacy, often overshadowed by his later, more iconic designs.
