In this video we showcase a classic M3A1 "Grease Gun" in 45 ACP. The original M3 was an answer to the somewhat complex design and high production cost of the M1A1 Thompson during World War II. Although the A1 variant never saw use in WWII it was used in other conflicts even up to Desert Storm. Special thanks to Quiet Riot Firearms in McDonough, GA for providing this interesting and historical firearm for us to show you guys. The old girl still has it, stay tuned much more on the way.

I had one of these in Vietnam. I used it mainly when I had to travel alone in a jeep because it was easier to maneuver than my M16 when driving. Only fired a few mags through it but I remember it was accurate and controllable for close work. Watching this makes me want to shoot one again.
resomaniac i geuss you can say you were a greaser back in the day
Thank you for your service Sir!
We still had some of the M3's in our National Guard armory well into the early 90's. Hated to see them go!
P
Thank you for your service.
My Grandfather was a tank commander in the early years of Vietnam and was issued a grease gun for close protection.
He tells a funny story about how he and his guys were required to re-qualify on their small arms when they got to Vietnam. So their supply Sergeant orders up 500 rounds, but there was a fubar and they were sent something like 10,000. Because of Gov red tape even in the military I guess it wouldve been more hassle to return it than shoot it up. So they shot it up lol. He says they spent the whole first weekend in country at the firing range and they all got so good with the grease gun they could hip fire the thing at pinpoint targets out to 100 yards.
sergeantbigmac that sounds like so much fun wow
That still happens today. Not so much an over-order, but there is always some excess ordered in case of visiting VIP's or soldiers having trouble requalifying, etc. Then, some idiot LT opens each and every case so that everyone isn't around one case to load the magazines...
When we were done for the day, we found several cases unsealed, meaning each and every round would have to be counted at the ammunition supply point before they'd accept the excess ammunition.
So, we drove the next day to the .50 cal range and blazed away in full auto. I'd nail man sized tire stacks with a half dozen rounds on a long burst every time, wasting a handful of rounds elevating into the target, then hammer with a long burst. One of the NCO's saw me doing that repeatedly, he figured that my weapon was better or something and he tried it - holding the forward sling the way the Army taught him and he was shooting into the air for most of his long burst.
I had done a full sling wrap and had my elbow locked to my chest to fire, which held the rifle down and tight to my shoulder.
My dad was checking out of his unit after WWII and his 1911 serial number didn't match the number he'd been originally issued. The 'clerk' said he didn't want to bother with the paperwork required to deal with the wrong serial number soooooo..... my dad walked home with a 1911 automatic, which eventually passed to me and then to my son (a two Bronze star Army infantry officer).
I know this comment is old, but that is a very special story, right there.
Now your grandfather sent you a message and he sent me a message for you he said: *why are you telling this to the public? its redundant tbh*
Back in 1970 I was a driver of an M-578, a type of recovery tracked vehicle. Since space in the drivers compartment was pretty tight, I was assigned one of those grease guns. Interesting piece.
Melted Sand yes
I was describing the kris vector to my dad and he brought up the grease gun they were still using back in the late late 80s ,early 90s in training
Damn straight!
looselatigo I
How many magazines where you issued out of curiosity?
This gun cost 17 bucks and change. A coworker of mine ran one over and ruined it in the 1980's and the army made him pay for it.
Burt Hulbert why would he run one over? Even if they were cheaper than dirt at that time?
Better question is, why the heck was a M3 grease gun in the middle of the road!?
I would imagine that that man who ran the gun over was probably very bored.
@Bhum Brahmavira the Birtman Miller Machinery Lubrican Gun used by the US army in 1940-58 was $39 (around $560 today)
The M3A1 was $16 (around $240 today)
So yeah it was slightly less than half the cost.
@@Kyle_Godfrey111 probably boredom and a bet.
My grandfather(god bless his soul) had a Grease Gun assigned to him during WW2. From what he told me, a lot of US Army Combat Engineers including himself were assigned these guns because it was easy to use and control thanks to the low rate of fire. I did ask him if he liked the gun and he did say it never failed him in combat when he used it.
Unknown to many, it was NOT "spray and pray", Marine Recon used to qualify with them on the rifle range at 200 yards, was a very accurate weapon for one who KNEW how to handle a slow firing sub machinegun!
Eugene Kaptur the .45 acp is not reliable for 200 yards. Not sure where you get your information, but 200 yards with an iron sighted 45 acp firearm is bullshit.
HapitokP I wish I was alive to see America in a ww2 Era but it will never happen
At about 450 rpm, it's not that hard to get single or double shots if you have to.
First, it had a 10 inch barrel, four inches longer than an M1911 barrel, allowing for higher velocity. Second, that higher velocity gives it a bit longer legs and I've lobbed rounds into a target at 100 meters with an M1911 and reliably and accurately hit center mass at 50 meters with that M1911.
The M3 had fixed sights that were set for 100 meters, so doubling that range is achievable, if not with any degree of accuracy.
But then, it isn't the weapon that achieves striking the target, it's who has the weapon.
I just wanted to thank you for putting the grease gun on UA-cam, that was my tank gun. I was a tanker in the 80's and 90's and with the 1911 as my side arm I had my trusted and crazy looking stamped metal grease gun....thank you
I remember when I was a kid I always thought that the Grease Gun was a piece of junk compared to the Thompson. As I get older the Grease Gun grew on me and eventually made me realize it’s not a fancy gun, it’s a gun that gets the work done.
The Thompson is a beautiful machine, Sexy as hell. The "Grease Gun" was a working machine, Tough, but simple. They are BOTH fantastic devices but for DIFFERENT reasons. The "Tommy Gun" is a "classic era" coach-built Cadillac, the "Grease Gun" is a GMC 1 ton truck. I want one of each!
@@jamesslick4790 as a guy who drove a Chevy 1 ton for a while lemme just say. Theyre huge and theyre crazy inefficient on gas BUT they will run forever if maintained peoperly and theyll do anything you ask of em without breakin a sweat. I want a grease gun so bad. I loved my 1 ton but it was not practical. The grease gun was practical for its day with the tech we have now its in the same boat my truck is. Love em both to death though. I love the stupidly simple design of the M3A1 grease gun. It was cheap, simple, a bit slow but worked whenever ya needed. Shes like me. I ain pretty but im a simple guy and ill do whatever ya need me to. May not be the fastest cat on the block but I promise ya ill get er' done and done right
Thompson hands down is Aesthetically pleasing i.e. sexy. But the Grease gun was much more user friendly/straight forward, economical. I think when you get older you learn to appreciate what is needed for a service weapon.
I’d say the grease gun is better in every way than the Thompson.
Yea gimme the grease gun over Thompson.
Ha ha! I saw that at 0:25, you anticipated the shot and pushed into it.. LOL I was fortunate enough to get to shoot this a few times on Uncle Sam's dime in the early '80s. On a sunny day, you could actually see the rounds going down range. Thanks for bringing back fond memories. All the best!
Fury "See that cover? Open it...and now you killin'. Close it up...now you ain't."
Best WWII movie since Saving Private Ryan.
Also my favorite line lol
prahahockey334 super unrealsitic but still cool
LOL his face right after saying that was hilarious!
😂
My grandpa is 80 years old in Mexico he pulled this weapon out for us to shoot targets on New Year’s Eve (tradition for those that live in the mountains in Mexico). whenever there’s rumors that the Mexican army is out raiding homes looking for weapons he packs his guns and hops on his horse rides up to mountain and buries his weapons at a safe spot(strict gun laws), then when everything cools down he goes back for them. My grandpa loves guns and he enjoys when all of his grandsons gather at his home on the holidays to fire his weapons 💙
I love guns with slow cyclic rates. That "clunkclunkclunk" is so satisfying
Like the MP44 and STG44...
Klunk klunk klunk klunk.
The Swedish M/45 a.k.a. Swedish K SMG would probably be to your liking then. It has a heat shield over the barrel too so you don't have burn accidents that easily.
They are also easier to keep on target so it feels more satisfying to target shoot with.
in this video you see them holding it steady, getting every shot on a gong in full auto, try doing that with a faster firing gun, even of better build quality.
Rastapasta well they do have vectors now
The American answer to the Sten. I'll never forget my old neighbor telling me stories of spraying down friendly tanks that were swarmed by enemy combatants with his M3 in the Korean war.
Giving the armor a new red, brown and copper camouflage job. ;)
Although, I doubt it scratched the paint. :P
Much better then the stem, better designed.
My dad echos that, or the tanks would shoot each other with the .30 cal mg's while being swarmed.
We had a US Marine who walked point with one of these in VietNam. The story told to me was he had 5 kills at one time while on point. He loved the weapon.
Doc Grit that's an amazing k:d ratio!
I heard that there was a sergeant who used a grease in Vietnam. He only used it once because it overheated and the barrel melted on him.
Blazeplaysgames how the hell do you melt the barrel?
@@MemeLordCthulhu bullshit
@@biscuitboy1476 it overheats
That thing was my standard issued weapon in the Greek Armed Forces back in the mid seventies ..good little gun.
That's awesome! How was it in the Greek armed forces back then. ( I know this is an old comment but I would love to hear some stories!)
Που σαι μαν
The Greeks used m3a1 grease guns and F4 phantom fighter jets till the late 90s maybe some national guard units today the grease gun definitely killed some turks during the border conflicts
See that cover? Open it...and now you killin'. Close it up...now you ain't.
Fury :D
Great movie.
"heh heh heh heh"
movie name?
Watching that right now. Fantastic flick.
I carry one in 1957 or 58 in the first Marine division ,7th Marine Regiment, 2nd Battalion ,Echo Company first force recon Camp Penelton California. Division recon came down from Maine Side to train a company in force recon .I don't remember all the pro and cons because I have to go to the hospital and when I return they had moved down to where I took ITR after boot camp in 1956. The M3 submachine gun were still being issue when I took over the 245th maintenance company Direct support in 1989 as for 1SG in my maintenance platoon.
That small bit with Barry in it was a nice touch. RIP old man, still miss seeing you in these videos.
Barry was too good for this world, he's in a better place now, a place without gun control laws and all the full auto-milsurp you could ever want.
R.I.P:(

Most primitive smg , that's what makes it awesome tho
mp18 is more primitive, look it up
should look on sten made by british
@@296radithyasatria5 you should look owen gun
@@296radithyasatria5 Sten is a WWII weapon and it was designed to make it cheaply in huge amount. It's not comparable to any post-war gun, except some improvised guns.
The more basic it is. The less likely it will break down and if it does, spare parts are easier to come by
That's a wonderful way to abuse some steel. Are those Tennessee Woodlands Soda Bottles? I'm wondering if they ran away from hickok45.
Soda bottles are a huge problem in the United States. But california is safe. The SJWs made a safespace so the sodabottles can't come in.
Out CEV crews still used these during Desert Shield/Storm. We turned these in along with our 1911s, 90mm Recoilless Rifles and flame throwers after returning from DS/DS.
Laughably, my teams were authorized custom M1911's for Iraq and later, Afghanistan. Mine was a Springfield GI model, still outshot most of the guys with it, despite their having those race guns. The only custom items were the match barrel, match barrel bushing and match link.
Why cant these be legal, and people can sell them for like $300...
Liberals would melt!!
Eric Brown they are legal just hard to get
IH - MTXRGU because Grease gun is a ghost gun, it has 30 caliber magazine clip very dangerous.
certain firearms might be against the law but the law CANNOT stop a human from doing what they want. Some writing on some paper aint gonna stop me from living my life.
It's not like I can't legally convert my AR-15 into practically a machinegun already (fostech echo). At the very least get rid of the Hughes Amendment.
I was a trooper in the 4th Cav in Viet Nam in 67/68. I carried one of these for a while all through Tet68, they look cheap, but they are hard hitting and dependable and you rarely have problems. We had to double spring the mags or else the last few rounds wouldn't feed. Also, the safety in the cover isn't worth crap so be careful of accidental discharge.Ours were noticeably slow firing.
Everyone talks about Fury... The movies I grew up w/that started my love affair for the M3.... The Dirty Dozen - Lee Marvin/Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown. Attack Force Z - A very young Mel Gibson and Sam Neal... I have always wanted to do a modernized version of the M3.. Thank you for a great post!!!!
spacedredd the dirty dozen is one of my favorite movies
spacedredd lee Marvin holding the M3 sideways is badass OG
pilotsebastian+ thats because the mag springs weaken & you have to shake it to get it to cycle...been there done that....But on other hand house to house--can't beat one or 3 for fire superiority...
Attack Force Z ftw
Gotta wonder why we aren't using a modernized version of this for clearing mud huts. .45 more than good enough .
The M3/A1 is beautiful in its pure design; completely functional, inexpensive and simple to make, uncomplicated in its function. It took the concept behind the Sten and perfected it with the might of American manufacturing- instead of being designed by traditional firearms companies, it was design by people in automotive manufacturing, which did away with machining, blued finishes, and wood, and utilized simple stampings and focused on pure utility.
"Vintage" Guns are always so sexy 👍🏻

Mid 80's M60 series tanker. This was in the drivers area and the mount allows it to be pulled towards the turret.
During blue force training, mine wasn't secure after hitting rough terrain, and the barrel slipped out of the upper mount and leaned into the turret, and being a hydraulic turret, it got crunched.
They were fun to shoot though.
Had several in 70&71. New springs upped the rate of fire as the old springe were just about done in..
My uncle was a gunner on a M-18 Tank Destroyer (the most effective tank killer we had on German Panzers and hardly no recognition). He was in the 5th Rangers but after Normandy went back to his MOS in the Tank destroyers when they were dispersed. He used the grease gun and had a high opinion of its effectiveness!
This gun is a blast to play with in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam.
Love it but the duckbill shotgun is master race!
Oh yeah, can't downplay the extra two shells you have with it compared to the normal. Saved my life a lot.
i was expecting someone to mention that game when i saw this video, btw my personal favorites are the M14, IZH-43 hunting, SKS, and the trusty M16
Double barrel master race
Seriously, dem slugs are ridiculous.
11:17 Allow me to sing you the song of my people.
The beauty of that song is how those steel plates just kept ringing with every shot. Pretty accurate, especially for firing full-auto from the shoulder.
😍
Full auto vids and coffee, great way to start the day. Only thing that would be better if I was shooting select fire.
I love seeing informational UA-cam videos like this, and others. It shows the power, creativity, and ingenuity, of the human mind. I'm learning all I can because, I know that it's only an amount of time before more videos get blocked, or censored by the police state!
we need to repeal the NFA
I second that!
I like how the NFA was established because of a BAR stolen from a national guard base, lol.
that would be like stealing an AR from a police station armory, and using it in a crime, then the government trying to ban it from regular gun shops.
Shoudday Cha I'm with ya there!
ASAP
Yes sir. And have them refund all the money from Tax stamps.
The Louisiana National Guard's armor units used the M3A1 as the "bail-out" firearm for their M-60s in the early 80s.I was able to use those periodically when "checking" them to made sure that they operated. We found that if you could get a .45 ACP in the chamber (lead reloads, hollow points, target loads, unknowns) then you could probably get it to fire it. It was reliable and easy to control whether you shot full auto or popped off single shots. A true golden oldie!
awesome!!
I was a tank commander on a M48A3 tank with the 77th Armor in Vietnam on the DMZ. OEM equipment was 2 M3A1 SMG’s per tank. That was one of the finest and most reliable weapons I ever used. I dropped it in mud with the ejection port cover open, to see if it would still work. I scooped the mud out of the chamber with my little finger so that rounds could enter it. I did nothing else. The thing went thru two magazines of continuous 30 round bursts, ejecting mud along with cartridge cases. It was practically self cleaning!!
The bolt ran along two guide rods that were located in holes at the back of the stamped and welded receiver. That contributed to it’s smoothness and controllability. It was ridiculously easy to maintain and repair. I think that penny for penny, it was one of the best SMG’s ever designed.
The only weakness was the mag. I cured that by pressing two mag springs together and stuffing them into the magazine tube. It NEVER failed to run perfectly with that setup. Zero stoppages.
Do another moss pawn gun tour 2017
This is what the tankers in my platoon carried when I served. If you 'flick' your eyes along bullet trajectory as the weapon is firing you can see the round moving through the air. The velocity is that slow. It's a trip.
This gun is all the more impressive if you consider that, if production were to resume, it would only cost $200 per unit. A full auto .45 SMG for less than a hi point pistol. Incredible.
It could be done for way cheaper than $200 with large scale production. But full autos are going to be expensive no matter what.
Wow, getting hit with 5 or 10 rounds of .45 would make a mess of someone...
Cool vid. Love the WW2 stuff. More please.
see that cover? open it...now you killin. close it...now you aint
Click>
In "theory" -_-
I work at a machine gun range in Vegas... I love this gun! easily the most durable machinegun we got. we've had it and used it for about 10 years, only had to replace the barrel a couple of times. other than that, the only problem is after a while the bolt wears so that it just runs away... but I'm not convinced that's a problem...
I've always considered a loss of any control a problem. But, I'm surprised you also haven't lost a spring or two. While they're not exceptionally strong, they still are springs and do fatigue.
RIP Barry.
I was issued an M-3 when I was an Army Tanker in the 80s. my favorite weapon bar none.
How can there possibly be ANY....let alone 9 dislikes for this video!? Respect due from the UK right here!

Of course the negative votes were Bloomberg drones that
fear these SMGs obviously voted too early to see the sodas "die".
Cool vids! Yep I can vouch that I saw these in use during my time in service 85-93. Mostly our mechanics, had these, especially if they crewed M88 or M578 recovery vehicles. Got to put some rounds through one after the 1st Gulf War while we were still in Kuwait. Very neat weapon.
Nice touch @ 1:17
Johnny Dee everyone misses Barry.
ccrkicksass00123 Yes, we surely do.
Yes the Thompson is a gun you want to own but the grease gun is the gun you want to use in the trenches! The fact that it is stamped out of sheet metal with easy to machine internals is killer! When my Dad was growing up in Germany attending Hanau American Highschool the aircrews where still being issued these. He has photo's of Black Hawks on the football field of the school and the aircrew guarding them had grease guns! This was 1988-1991.The grease gun is much better made than the Bren which looks like blind school girls where building those!
I will invest my retirement in the first company that starts selling these sub-guns (including the Kriss Vector, Thompson SMG, CZ Scorpion, PS90, etc) w/ pistol braces and binary-type triggers installed. That will be US firearms industry revolution.
You can modify all of those firearms to have binary triggers. It's pretty easy to do it on almost any closed bolt semi automatic firearm.
Garrett - Do tell
That's a great idea. All those guns are pointless to buy without being able to use its full designed capability. That would get it a lot closer to what it should be.
Twenty nine years service in Ranger, Special Forces, and 14 years in a SMU, Special Mission Unit, and it was my favorite submachine gun. Super knock down power, and I never had one jam. Single shot easy with trigger control. I would aim at top of a taret at 200 meters and score continous hits. As a Special Forces Weapons man and sniper, I would put one of the old M-16 A1 bipods on one and shoot out to 200 meters. Far easier to rig for jumping and rigged for quick access much better than the M16 A1. Jumped with the weapon quite a few times. 1980's jumpmaster manual still showed how to rig it for jumping. Used the same technique of rigging for AKMS folding stock assault rifles. An incredible go to war SMG.
when I was in the Army at Ft Carson in 1995 some tank crews still had them, 4th ID 1-8th Infantry
That looked like some fun. I know two things about the M3. First off my Uncle loved the one he carried in Europe in WWII. He said he had good enough trigger control that no one "target" got more than 3 rounds. He further said 3 rounds of .45 ACP in the chest would ruin a Nazi's whole day. The second thing is that when you show up at a Freedom March with one (fully and properly licensed) the "counter marchers" get really nervous. I was not the one with it. My legally open carried high capacity semi auto pistol didn't even raise and eye brow. The Grease gun turned the knees to water.
Wouldn't turn my knees to anything other than the osteoarthritis ridden knees I already have, but I'd buy him a half case of 1911 fodder to feed it, just to fire a couple of mags.
9mm version that uses Sten magazines was carried in US tanks during desert storm war in 1990
The M60 tank that I was on in 1968 in the 4th Btn 35th Armor, 4th Armored Div in Germany was equipped with two M3's, one assigned to the driver and the second one to the loader. Each had a bag with sixteen 30 round magazines.
this is the gun syndrome's security guards are using in The incredibles
the stock being a multi tool is probably the coolest thing about it.
Did anyone see the bullet hit the soda off the plate at 00:08
ricochet double kill
Where can I get one of those??
bullet fragments are really mean.
Came to comments looking for someone talking about that. Not disappointed.
I was able to borrow a grease gun 25 yrs ago. It had no dust cover but it fired 2 full magazines without any jam. You couuld even see the bullets hitting the center of man size targets at 20 yards. We were using lead semi wadcutter handloads since military ball was not readily available then.
Heck, I'll take this over the Thompson anyday.
Uniform Tango 74 Probably weighs a few pounds less too.
As a private citizen, I'll take the Thompson, but in war?
Grease gun, all the way!
I've only ever shot a Thompson. The sten too but that's not the point. Id like like to get my hands on a grease gun
You take that back! Lol
I'll take my country's gun over both. ;) MP40, yeah buddy! :)
My brother in law was in the Army as a member of a tank crew in the early 90's and he had a M3A1 Grease gun with him. He said he loved shooting it. I got to try out a WWII vintage M1 Thompson, but always wanted to play with a grease gun like this.
Also known as the "Tankers gun."
My dad joined the US Army back in the 80s as a tanker, trained with the M-60. In that time, he was actually trained with the M3 as the main tank crewman's weapon. He's told me plenty about how much he loved this thing. I swear, if I ever get my hands on one, I'm sending it to him.
Call of Duty World War 2 :)
My dad was a Marine in Vietnam in 65 driving trucks and they were equipped with a 870 shotgun or grease gun. Now I understand why he said the grease guns were fun to shoot. Thanks for the video.
I carried one during Desert Storm and I wish I could own at least a wall hanger.
I was in the Gulf war 90-91retired now I remember the U.S. Army Tankers had this subgun and were firing it on the range. The tankers explained to me they used it to spray around their tanks if someone got to close ; walking enemy troops. But like the video said it was not meant for precision. Wow, excellent video!
OMG IT HAS THE SHOULDER THING THAT GOES UP
get out *-*
That's what you call a classic...nothing much more historical in the military than a grease gun. Good stuff!
Will you guys do a top five combat hand guns
I was a tank armor crewman with the 1st Recon Squadron 11th Armored Cavalry the Blackhorse Regimate 81-83 at the Fulda Gap in Germany. When I first got there we were issued M1911 pistols and M3' s . We had M60A3 tanks the first year but when we got the new M1 Abrams tanks in 83 we got Beretta 92 and M4 carbines as baisic issue weapons.

maybe a HK MP5 fanboy
In 1992, after leaving active duty Army, I joined the Army National Guard. I served in a mechanized infantry unit in my home town here in Texas. My unit still had these in the Armory but we never took them to the field or qualified with them. I left the Guard in 2001, I doubt my old unit still has these.
imagine how sucky it would be in ww2 when guns jammed more than nowadays when you pop up out of cover to take shots and your gun doesn't shoot
John White it sucks. I can imagine some people died because of it.
This gun actually had the opposite problem. It was prone to run-ons. IE, you pull the trigger and it wouldn't stop firing until the mag was empty.
Steven Poe simple solution to that is take the mag out. Or if you got bad guy in front of your face just point lol.
It climbs (.45 ACP), so hard to let go with one hand without losing control. Plus 30 rounds go pretty fast on full auto.
It climbs but it doesn't fly out of your hand. Your palm is already on the magwell, just shoulder it and take the mag out.
Was issued one in 1990 on my way to Desert Storm.Simple and crude was exactly right.Had to keep it clean.The sand wasn't so much of an issue with the weapon,but the magazines would jam if sand got in them.But when it was right,it would still throw some lead.
You guys gonna talk about repealing the nfa soon?
Walkvr they have a 30 minute video all about it.
I meant like an update to that video. but im sure if anything changes we'll hear about it.
Walkvr I gotcha
The only way to stop gun control is to just stop following it. The 2A is not defended by politicians, but by the people. If people are not willing to fight for their rights, it is wasted on them.
not following it as in the law? cause that's how you to to jail. there's a right way to doing things.
My father was a Sgt. First Class in the US Army. He used the Grease Gun in Lebanon. He loved it.
My Uncle was in tanks in Germany after the Korean war and they all had grease guns for bail out weapons
My Dad said the same in WWII.
I must have watched this one half a dozen times and it doesn't get old. Nice job, guys.
damn the cod ww2 firing range looks realistic
For a submachinegun famous for its low cyclic rate, that one seems to be popping off rounds very fluently at at least 550 rounds per minute. Sweet!
Slow cycle means better accuracy
It's fast enough to paint a small room red.
Had one in my M48 tank in 1968. Nice shooter.
is the Swedish K next inline?
My dad was a tanker in desert storm, he was trained with a grease gun. I also love this story about how the army thinks. The army trained my dad with the grease gun, 1911, and the m1 abrams with the 105mm cannon. once he was sent to iraq, he was given an m16, m9, and the m1a2 abrams with the 120mm cannon.
Just got done playing Cod WWII and haven't heard of this gun so I looked it up.
The version he's firing is the A2. It's larger in size, doesn't have the oiler on the side of the receiver, and doesn't have the charging handle which all A1s had. The flash hider was also unique to the A2. It also has the loader built in to the stock which the A1 never had and the longer takedown lever in the front.
I think your yard has diabetes.

That steel ringing montage!!! One of the finest pieces of badassery ever!

I LOVE these. So much character in ALL WWII sub-machine guns but this one is amazing! This is what I believe Allis Chalmers would have come up with had they made sub guns in the 1930's -40's. The slower rate of fire sounds fantastic as well.

I love the M3 and M3 A-1. I have hit targets at 200 meters by aiming at the top of the target. Also if one puts an old M-16 bipod on the barrel it is quite stable. One can train oneself to fire single shots with aimed fire. I love this SMG.
I'm kind of young but would like to buy one when I'm old enough but I want to be able to be good at shooting before then so my question is would shooting BB guns help me in the future for shooting real ones
They were in service in the 2nd Armored division I know until at least 1988. I was the unit armored for A Battery 92nd FA and were issued mostly to drivers. They are a hoot to shoot.
But does it take glock mags?
Cali Cowboy yes glock grease clipazines.com
😂😂
that's so bad :)
Joe Dirt I actually clicked on it..
It shoots glock mags to little bitty pieces.
Love the slow rate of fire. I used to love extremely fast rates of fire, but now I really appreciate the much slower, controllable, ammo conservative rates.
the designer was at GM, not Ford
Sure it wasn't a Chevvy?
Guide lamp made them which is a division of GM. They made headlights.
As a Small Arms Repairman 45B (1980 - 86) I trained several times at the Anniston Army Depot. They had a line for rebuilding the M3A1 and it was still used in the field during my stint. It was issued to tank crews. Much easier to have a grease gun in the tank than an M16A1! I have heard it was still in use by the tankers during the first Gulf War. M3A1 = Get er done!
