History[]
GTA Vice City icon of the Tec 9.
The TEC 9 is a cheap open-bolted handgun manufactured in the United States between 1980 to 1994 by Intratec. It happens to be based on the Carl-Gustav M/45 submachine gun, sometimes also known as the "Swedish K." It was designed at low cost, but never found military market. Not wanting to abandon the idea, Intratec put the semi-automatic versions on the civilan market. It gained infamy after criminals found the open-bolt design to be easy convertible to be fully automatic.

The TEC 9 is the only sub-machine gun that can't be purchased from an Ammu-Nation. The TEC 9 can only be found behind a house located in the cul-de-sac in Vice Point.
It is used by at least three gangs in Vice City. The Cubans use it when they are trying to blow up the Haitian Drug Factory. The Haitians use the gun in the same mission to try and stop them before doing so. The Streetwannabes use in in Phnom Penh '86 to shoot at Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance in a Maverick while they are shooting at them.
