M3 Grease Gun

Hi everybody !

Today I'm going to talk about cheaper counterpart of M1928 Thompson. It was made for budget production and it had to shoot with automatic fire. It was based on MP40. Of course (Like in the title) I'm talking about M3 machine pistol , also known as Grese gun . Catch !

History of the gun :

When Americans saw british STEN maschine pistol or MP40 , they thaught "Hey , we need something like that , because thompson i too expansive!" . Then they started reserch on a new , as basic as possible , gun. In 1942 field tests took place and in 1943 it was added to american troops armory. It was far more accurate but it had slower fire rate.

Technical thingies : 

Year of serial production beginning: 1943

Lenght : 757 mm

Caliber : 9mm , 45Acp

Ammo capacity: 30

I think it was pretty good idea to create gun for every soldier. I'll end it here soooooooo.........

See ya !
