Intratec, now a defunct firearm manufacture, was based in Miami, FL. They build guns that originated from their Swedish parent company. Their most famous gun with the TEC-9. In 2001, the company shut it's doors. Rumor has it that ATF kinda forced their hands. The reason was that the TEC-9 was so EASILY convertible to a full auto sub-machine gun pistol. This came when the Brady campaign was also touting the Brady Bill, which led to the national "assault weapons ban" of 1994.
The TEC-22 (pictured below) was actually a fun little piece. It accepted standard Ruger 10/22 magazines and came with an optional threaded barrel. For a crapper gun, it was quite functional (jams twice per magazine). Not very accurate, but functional. Cleaning was a real pain in the ass, too.
Several manufactures tried to revive these models, but eventually all of them closed their doors. Ok.. they sucked. They sucked really bad. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
