the m3a1 "grease gun" for pilots after they bail out
« on: February 02, 2010, 01:29:06 PM »
The M3a1 was a submachine gun  designed for use by aircrew and ordinence personel who needed a weapon to defend themself. It costed around 20 dollars per gun and fired a .45 acp round. It used stamped parts.

It would be nice to have somthing besides a pistol to use after you bail out.

The M3 submachine gun, also known as Grease gun, was developed as a cheaper war-time alternative to famous Thompson M1 and M1928 submachine guns.

Ahhh, the "facts" some people come up with....

It is a prop.  Good thing, too, since his finger is resting on the trigger.

I might suggest one of the Call of Duty titles to the OP.
