The most important feature of a carry gun is subjective and depends on individual needs and physical characteristics. While trigger quality and ergonomics are crucial for usability and training, aging eyes and the desire for faster target acquisition make sights, particularly red dot sights and night sights, increasingly important for the speaker. The ability to customize or readily accept these sight upgrades is a key consideration.

This video from Forgotten Weapons, hosted by Ian McCollum, provides an in-depth analysis of what determines a firearm's rate of fire and how it can be manipulated through design. McCollum, a recognized expert in historical firearms, explains the fundamental principles of bolt cycle time, bolt mass, and bolt velocity, and how these apply to different operating systems like simple blowback and locked breech. He illustrates these concepts with examples of various historical firearms, including the M11A1 and Chauchat, and discusses design modifications for rate adjustment.

This guide details a training drill for the M11a1 submachine gun, focusing on engaging a spinner target at 10 yards using a 30-round magazine. The drill emphasizes managing the high cyclic rate (1200 RPM) and significant muzzle climb inherent to the platform. Expert instruction highlights the challenge of generating enough energy on target with .380 ACP rounds due to the gun's stock and sights, requiring precise control during fully automatic fire.

This video from InRangeTV compares the rate of fire and controllability of three open-bolt submachine guns: the WWI-era MP18-I, the WWII-era MP40, and a modern M11A1 equipped with a Lage Mk31 A2 conversion kit. The analysis, presented with high authority by the channel, delves into the mechanical factors influencing rate of fire and demonstrates practical shooting techniques for managing full-auto fire across different firearm designs.
