The TEC-22 is designed to use magazines and drums made for the popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. [7]
The standard AP-9 has a 5-inch barrel. The AP-9 Target began with a 12-inch barrel (Target AP-9), but this was later reduced to 11 inches (AP-9/11 Target); they both have a separate fore-end and a fluted barrel. These firearms were banned by most states after the passage of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. [2] [3]
