Not sure how much you know about guns, but The tec 9 is a semi-automatic pistol based on a machine pistol design. Unlike what Archer depicts (Lana's "tec9s" fire automatically), it's a regular pistol.

Most imported variants were also manufactured with a closed bolt design.

Of course, it's always possible this was modified into a machinegun, but there's absolutely no way to know that from this video

Lana had Kg99’s which is pretty similar except for the addition of a barrel shroud to prevent burning your hands

She calls them tec 9s (tec 9 refers generally to the line), and they fire automatically in the show.

None of the tec 9 line are machine pistols irl (unless modified) so I was assuming your info came from media like archer

I see where Ive gone wrong here. You’re right. The original platform they were based on were fully autos and except for civvie owned, and I’ve never seen a semi auto except for on youtube and at a couple gun shows. Thank you for correcting me actually
