M3 "Grease Gun" .45 ACP

M3/M3A1: Although there have been quantum leaps in submachine gun construction and design since the early 1940's(when the M3/M3A1 was designed), the M3/M3A1 is still one of the most effective weapons of it's type. Due to the large .45 ACP caliber round the M3/M3A1 fires and it's simple construction with stamped/pressed steel it is very reliable, extremely simple to operate, compact, has ferocious .45 caliber knockdown power, relatively high controlability on full auto due to decreased cyclic rate of fire, simple to fix and maintain, cheap to manufacture and very easily suppressed and/or converted to 9X19mm. (all of this appealed to many in the early special forces and paratrooper communities)

M3/M3A1:

  • Cartridge:.45 ACP (11.43x23mm ACP), 9x19mm
  • Feed system:30-round detachable box magazine
