The M3 & M3A1 submachine gun (original name - U.S. Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3 & U.S. Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3A1). The M3 was commonly referred to as the "Grease Gun" or simply "the Greaser", owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic's tool. The Grease Gun it was not the official name of the weapon. Although there have been quantum leaps in submachine gun construction and design since the early 1940s (when the M3/M3A1 was designed), the M3/M3A1 is still an excellent example of its type. Due to the large .45 ACP round the M3/M3A1 fires and its simple construction with stamped/pressed steel, it is very reliable, extremely simple to operate, compact, has .45 caliber knockdown power, has relatively high controllability on full-auto due to the low cyclic rate, simplicity of fixing and maintaining it, cheap manufacturing costs, and ease of sound suppression and/or conversion to 9x19mm, all of which appealed to many in the early special forces and paratrooper communities. The compact size, reliability, and stopping power of this weapon kept it in service with the U.S. for decades after WW2 (particularly among armored vehicle crews up until the introduction of the M4 Carbine), and it is still used in some countries into the 21st century.
The original design of the M3 featured a crank-type cocking lever. In practice, it quickly became clear that it was fragile and prone to breakage, incapacitating the gun. As a result, some of the M3s were equipped by field gunsmiths with full-fledged charging handles as on other submachine guns, instead of the original levers. However, since the M3 bolt was so lightly-sprung that it could be pulled back with one finger, it was decided to simply equip it with a cocking notch, which was done on the subsequent M3A1, with production starting in December 1944.
In 1943, the Guide Lamp company produced about 1,000 weapons chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum. The weapon had 9mm caliber barrels and a magazine adapter to allow the use of 32-round Sten magazines. The weapon conversion received official military markings as the US 9 mm SMG. The US Army placed an order for another 25,000 units of this conversion. But already at the end of 1943, the order was limited to 500 units. In February 1944, conversion was approved and put into production. But it is assumed that only a limited number of pieces were made. The first 1,000 or so guns in this caliber were for testing purposes only. The 9mm conversion was only tested on the M3 model and was not continued with the introduction of the M3A1 model.
In 1944, the OSS also commissioned the production of approximately 1,000 weapons with integrated silencers from Bell Laboratories. The sound suppressor has been found to be 80% as effective as the Sten's sound suppressor. Work on weapons equipped with a silencer continued with the introduction of the M3A1 model. The tests showed that the silencer was heating up too much, so an additional barrel cover was used. The first model was officially named OSS M3 and the second model as OSS M3A1.
M3 with "field modified" charging handle. This modification replaced the M3's crank-style charging handle (which was known for being fragile) with a new, more conventional handle slotted in the receiver. Modifications of this type were based on the first version of the weapon.
On the basis of the weapon, the T29 Carbine project in .30 Carbine caliber was created. Designed to compete with the German StG 44 with intermediate ammunition. It is believed that only 3 prototypes were made. The first two prototypes had a 14-inch barrel. And the third prototype had an 8-inch barrel.

FM P.A.M
The FM PAM (Pistola Ametrelladora Modelo) series of submachine guns are Argentinian copies of the M3A1 "Grease Gun" chambered in 9mm Parabellum. Produced by Fábrica Militar de Armas Portátiles (FMAP or FM) in Rosario, the PAM 1 was essentially a rechambered copy of the M3A1 using thinner steel; problems with overheating and controllability led to the PAM 2, which added a grip safety to the magazine housing.
