How an M3 Grease Gun works
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The M3 was an American .45-caliber submachine gun adopted for U.S. Army service on 12 December 1942, as the United States Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M3. The M3 was chambered for the same .45 round fired by the Thompson submachine gun, but was cheaper to produce, and lighter, although, contrary to popular belief, it was far less accurate. This myth stems from a US army training film portraying the M3 as more accurate than its counterparts. The M3 was commonly referred to as the "Grease Gun" or simply "the Greaser," owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic's tool.
Intended as a replacement for the .45-caliber Thompson series of submachine guns, the M3 began to replace the Thompson in first-line service in mid-1944. Due to delays caused by production issues and approved specification changes, the M3 saw limited combat use in World War II and the M3A1 none. The M3A1 was used in the Korean War and later conflicts.

the grease gun was a beautiful rendition of the absolute fundamentals of firearms design.
And where is grease?)
I really want one of these.
build one....
Go to harbor freight, they sell 80 percent receiver of these guns, no background check, no questions asked, 50 states compliant.
@@stephensherwin1530 lmao
@@davidgruen7423 I so wish that was true for making a good one 😂
We should all have one or two of these.
Good old fashion open bolt SMG
The good old days
while i’d much rather be lugging around a thompson or a garand this gun is still cheaper, simpler, and more compact than a thompson or garand could ever be, grease gun and sten are two of the worlds most underrated guns
I'd rather have the m3. way lighter and a slow rate of fire combined with some principles of constant recoil make the m3 one of the most controllable smg ever.
@@iamAwesomo1994 dude,MP40 has literally less recoil than a semi auto Pistol,that’s one of the most controllable SMG’S in the world,hell,maybe even the most controllable *GUN* in the world,so,the grease gun is not as good as the MP40.
@@Sapphiregamer8605 but the m3 grease gun is full auto, has a slower rate of fire, and every bit as controllable as the mp 40.
@@iamAwesomo1994 but if it was faster,it wouldn’t,see my point? It’s slower,but the MP40 still has less recoil.
@@iamAwesomo1994 and during a invasion(why? What would you do for this to happen?) the MP40 should be your GO-TO gun(I think it’s called),as the fast rate of fire,literally no recoil,and amazing looks,makes it worth it.
I had one of fun weapon. Back in 67 when I was in Germany that was my weapon on the tank with my m1911a1. Made expert with it. I sure miss it.
Wait
Which side of the berlin wall u were in the east or the west
My old M3 A1 was made in 1952 Was a crew service weapon on the M551 track I drove in 1974-76 in B troop 1/2 ACR
In the 82nd they used to drop them outta planes. I remember due to several incidents C130 into ground on Sicily Dz at Bragg then 3 Riggers that stole coupla these grease guns outta tank causing us lockdowns til found again.
one of the most basic guns ever made, cost just $15 back in ww2 and served right up until the 1990's.
love this gun
As late as 1991 we had these in our Army National Guard Infantry unit, the drivers and mechanics carried them. Got the chance to shoot one at the range, very fun to fire. Later on during a combat deployment to Afghanistan, got my hands on a Sten Mk5. Between the two, my choice would have to be the M3, love the .45 ACP round, and more compact. Neither could hit the side of a barn at 50 Meters.
SSG. U.S.Army (Medically Retired), Infantry / Sniper, multiple tours
I want one. Automatic weapons are super restricted though.
@@ScoutSniper3124 * When I was in basic training, the tank crews still carried these. They said when the tank is disabled, these were good to stick out of the hatch, and fire a burst to keep the enemy's heads down during their egress. I can believe that.
The guy who founded the company I work for carried one of these in WW2 and hated it. I had a chance to shoot one of these, a STEN and a Tommy Gun. M3 and STEN are good if shooter and shooter are inside a phone booth together. The Thompson was more useful at distances over 3 feet.
The most controllable smg ever
Sometimes simplicity does better, that's why it's cheaper and it replaced the thompson
Simple yet effective...
Good video. Although I wish it went into more detail about the bolt. Like how the firing pin works, as well as the ejector.
Fixed firing pin. Fixed ejector.
also this is the old version
@@glowingone1774 what do you mean old version? All m3 versions have a fixed firing pin and fixed ejector.
@@bobrobert319 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_submachine_gun
I get it you are talking about the video and not the m3 versions. Sorry.
I'm surprised that something like this isn't still made in some part of the world, especially in countries that might not have a large domestic weapons industry. Heck, they wouldn't even need a munitions industry. The grease gun was designed and made by GM. You could totally make one in a garden shed out of car parts and plumbing supplies.
This channel deserves a billion sub.
Not at all the game deserve more player he's only showing guns the app does all the rest...
The developer of the game over at NobleEmpire deserves those, Para Bellum only records gameplay, he doesn't do anything else.
fun fact - Grease gun don't need Grease to maintain
Would be cool to see an updated closed bolt version of this, with modern free float quad rail handguard, with select fire using a standard ar pistol grip. I like the dual recoil springs, but damn that's a massive bolt moving back and forth there's got to be a better way to do that today.
Its in 45.
@@leonardmoriarity7066 these are made from stamped steel parts, would be cool to see an updated version, keeping true to the bottom dollar style
@@leonardmoriarity7066 like the liberator pistols
@@leonardmoriarity7066 theres a single fire version with a 16in barrel, it doesnt do it justice.
@@leonardmoriarity7066 How hard would it be to make one chambered in 9mm?
this is the old version of the gun. the updated model doesn't have the charging handle.
Other way around dude. The old version had the bolt scallop, the new one had a charging handle
He's got the sights, dust cover/ejection port, and lack of oil bottle from the M3A1 but the butt stock and charging handle of the older M3 model. So everyone is right and everyone is wrong. This rendering is not correct to either one
Also has what looks to be the older version of the barrel retaining spring. It's like an unholy chimera of grease lol
@@CrudeConduct666 No, he was right, The newer model (M3A1, December 1944) had no charging handle, among other changes. You actually CAN use your computer to avoid posting uninformed information by looking things up rather than making things up.

@@Teebizzle12345 Although for the most part the firing of the gun operates the same way (Open Bolt, no "Safety" instead just a Dust Cover blocking the bolt) regardless of revision, correct?
OUTSTANDING! You're at a 100k subs, nicely done! Keep up the good and ACCURATE work! Very detailed, just like a gun smith.

Virgin STEN Gun VS. Chad Grease Gun
STEN became Chad when the Sterling came out
Sterling became Chad when it was transformed to Blastech E-11.
The grease gun has such a low rate of fire anyways, it should be legal to make new 😔😔
Awesome gun, Simple system and fast, can make a homemade if you have tools.
Very interesting this video. Because amateur technical designer and technical craftsmen are very useful to learn such videos.
My father had the M3 on his tank in vietnam. M48 tank. 1966 tour
My grandpa carried one of these in korea god bless America lol
Wow a real pro machinist could probably mock up an M3 in a day with this video
Very well done,animation thank you
That model makes it look like it came strait out of New Vegas
It’s like a stamp machine or a typewriter lol
That is very complete, very well made video. Subscribed🖒
This is from WORLD OF GUNS
I wonder why it had 2 recoil springs and not just one.
Cheaper and lighter than the Thompson and also faster to manufacture
Con todos los defectos de rendimiento que según los mas puristas ella tiene, hay que considerar que fué diseñada superar una coyuntura, pues se producía muy fácilmente y se consideraba descartable en el sentido de que no se desarmaría para cambiarle piezas. Luego no fué así y se terminó usando hasta en la guerra del golfo como dotación para los que conducían camiones. Trabajando como armero, solía ser la cosa mas sucia que podía haber que atender. Bien puesto su apodo. Siempre me maravilló su simpleza hoy diríamos casi tumbera. Nunca supe quien carajo les ponía aceite, pero siempre estaban rezumando por cualquier endija. No hubiese querido que me la obliguen a usar para cubrirme con su fuego, porque tanto se atascaba como funcionaba sin parar hasta fundirse. No había una regla fija a veces se lo achacaban a los cargadores (magazines) que habían sido maltratados en esa mala costumbre de golpearlos para que la munición se acomode bien. A ciencia cierta nunca lo supe. Si andaba........ bien........Decían que nadie sacaría la cabeza para buscarte y sinó tirarla a la mierda y salir rajando (bolao) como dice Ruben Blades.
simple but good
very good and very nice
heavy but realiable gun
Gloria Banayos nah the range and accuracy suck. Its a cheap ass piece of shit alternative to the 1928 thompson even though the m1a1 was 10x better.
It's a great gun. Cheap, reliable, accurate, and easy to maintain. It's the AK47 of personal weapons.
US could buy 20 of these for the price of one Thompson SMG. It may not have been fancy, but it was available in large numbers and it worked sufficiently well.
It's so reliable that its safety is the actual ejection lid
Christopher Haist It wasnt realiable NOR accurate,you clearly know nothing about this gun
It doesn't fire grease?
No
@@tudornedelcu8396 i might woosh you
@@elmomussolini6847 bet
No. But it might cause someone on the business end of the barrel to self lubricate.
@@tudornedelcu8396 roman :))
Pride of industry for Germany
Nice new design
sound is. the same grease gun
Almost as simple as Sten, but reliable.
Looks kinda strange though...
This is inaccurate, the M-3 had a single stack magazine feed..This is double stacked!
As a liferime subscriber to the KISS method, this machine is poetry in motion. Forgive the dumb question but where does the name "grease gun" come from?
It looks similar to the "gun" mechanics use to inject grease into lubrication ports on autos, planes, trains, etc.
This seams easy to make
With that being said simple enough
I had a intratec dc9 very similar internally did not have that open and close latch or the sliding stock very neat
excelente.. estaba buscando los planos de esta arma para un pedido de un cliente... super liviana, portatil, altamente ocultable ideal para las guerrillas urbanas

Two recoil springs huh more compact but more parts
I only found this video because I was looking up how the internals of a grease gun work for chassis...haha
Kinda looks like a sten with conventional magazine placement

Grease gun looks pretty simple to make but the Tec 9 wins
took a screenshot of the side just need a 3d printer that works for metal
Grease gun, k-bar by my side what is the code I live by?
I prefer a select fire AR SBR, (.45 ACP is good but 5.56 NATO is better) Fairbairn-Sykes knife, Hi Power on my hip, Makarov PM at the small of my back and three spare magazines for all three firearms.
Only "cobb" using this gun in easy conpany. LOL
and he was a total dick!!
AKA the cheap ripoff of a fine MP40.
While they may look similar, they are pretty different
I was kidding because they look similar.
@@tahabashir3779 It was a terrible joke. The key about sarcastic jokes is you got to make it clear you are not serious and it to be funny. You did sound serious and I seen no punchline. Stick to whatever else you are good at. It is not comedy.

Time to buy a milling machine
Great animation!
Looks Good... But I still prefer My Typewriter
Simple design, so easy you can manufacture and sell these by the bundle out of your moms garage.
Does the M3A1 Grease Gun has the same mechanics but just doesn’t have the charging handle? All I know it a big was a problem to the soldiers cause dirt and mud would get into the chamber and it gets jammed
The M3A1 simplified a couple of things in the process of manufacturing, most of them are unnoticeable but the lack of charging handle is the one that sticks the most when people look at the M3A1. The charging handle was exchanged by a thumb hole that you would stick your finger in and then pull back, though it may sound unconventional and complex to the user the thumb hole did not produce any damage to the weapon at all but rather increased its efficiency as the mechanism was made way simpler. At the moment of shooting the firearm, it was obvious to just stick your finger and pull the bolt back and one would easily get used to the small change.
You greased over the firing pin mechanism
how it works? it does
me at the highschool shop class
This is from a game called WORLD OF GUNS, it's on PC and mobile. He didn't make this
When the United States military,had a real pistol caliber.
from the time when soldiers still looked like professionals not with the ugly baggy uniforms of today
when the US had an impractically slow and big bullet for use in a sub machine gun, the 9mm isn't the best bullet, but it's better for sub machine gun use (needs less mass in the bolt) has higher velocity, less drop over range, less leading needed for moving targets
This was used by the nazis not americans.....
you're thinking of the mp40 my guy, this is the M3 grease gun
At most ranges used for Sub-machine guns the ballistic superiority of the 9mm wouldn't matter. And the .45 hit harder.
Very Fantastic machine gun. Totally looking MP 40 copy. How much bullets in cilinder? 32?
Yes, the trigger mechanism is very similar to the MP-40. Did you mean the magazine capacity of 32 rounds? There is a 30-round magazine in the video, but there was also a 32-round magazine option.
is there a gas piston?
So simple. It's like a fallout gun...
amazing indeed
what is the software ?
It's a game called World Of Guns, he does nothing but film gameplay of it.
Now hard would that be to build from the hardware?
Well I guess you’d have to be about 50 to actually have the skills to use a few hand tools.
ahh check here u tube theres of course ahh down south boys building them out in the used and fireing them videos
İts made from stamp metal so if you have a stamp machine and bleprints for the parts you are good to go.
I always wondered, why not make a straight blowback .308 or 7.62x51. I've always wondered if you could tune the spring tension and bolt weight perfectly to where it would act like a locked breech, but fire from an open bolt and just be all around simpler and cheaper to produce. Like compere the time it takes for a locked breech 7.62x51 just say the M60 to unlock and tune that to the force of the recoil overcoming a combination of inertia of the wight of the bolt and the spring tension to simulate a locked breech and produce the same effect.
Fred Fredderson nope impossible. There is no fine tuning anything. Your spring would have to be absolutely rediculous
I can't remember what it was called, but I do remember reading about a pistol that was designed for elderly or just generally people who don't have a lot of hand strength. It was an auto-loader chambered in a normal pistol round 9x19 or something close to that, but the interesting thing about it was that it had a feature where the slide could be disconnected from the recoil spring for charging. Essentially you were just racking a pistol with no recoil spring and when a round is chambered, the slide would snap back over the recoil spring and be ready to operate like a semi-auto pistol. I can't remember it was just straight-blowback or if it had a locked breech. It did get me thinking though that you could conceivably have a weapon with a monster of a recoil spring and be able to easily rack it with that type of recoil spring disconnector.
I just tripped over my own words, something like that wouldn't be functional as an open-bolt. It would have to be closed bolt, but I believe it would be possible to be straight-blowback and eliminate the need for a gas system or rotating bolt. What do you think?
Fred Fredderson well you might be able to do it but it wouldn't be practical at all. The bolt weight would have to be pretty large as well as spring tension. That results in some pretty hefty recoil. You'll also probably need to design a thicker case to reduce the possibility of case tearings and blowouts. If straight blowback rifles were a idea that worked well then we would have seen it sometime (especially in ww1 and 2) in the 100 years that semi auto rifles have been around. I think that you'd be better off using delay rollers or rotating bolt
this was all shooting but how does it work?
2:29 was that the loudener from the Simpsons?
Simply looking at the mechanics of this, I'm shocked one of the rounds wouldn't go flying and stovepipe in the ejection port accidentally.
Nice tube gun! :D
Very much the same construction principle as the UZI aka MPi2. Just round and full auto only.
Kinda resembles the workings of the ar7 .22
I'm a old viet nam vet my fave gun..
hrm.... very simple to make if you have the tooling and equipment :D
So its pretty much spring loaded
You put grease on it and thats how it works right?
Manufactured by General Motors.
Excellent type this gun I love it
Reminds me of fallout: new vegas...
Except for some reason it fires 9mm rather than the 45
How they push back tonreloading??what force they used to???
Can you do specter smg
M1 not m3 , no charging hangle on the m3
I watch all your videos so I can describe your videos I want to help you to play games
Good thing the MP40 came out. The only 2 good things about it is colse combat use and shooting floor boards.
It jams
Nope actually they are very reliable.
Do they make these in 9mm?
Muy buen video....
Nice 👍
Dear FBI,i didn't search for this,it got recommended.
Don't worry about the FBI... The ATF will get to ya before them lol.
@@eane1275 lmao
I like the m3
So its a pistol
Angry tube.
Can they make any guns that done use the primitive gun powder they have used for hundreds or years? Why not make a lazer gun that will blow stuff when it hits it. or some other form of energy that is not gun powder and explosion to propel it? This is prehistoric gun power.
Are those grease pellets?
I want to get or build one or by least attempt to
