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.

I want to bail out with a full ghillie suit on, M1903A1 Springfield rifle with 10x zoom scope, 20x zoom binoculars, and 100 rounds of ammo so I can snipe you from 600 yards out as you try to up. :P

How about: No it wasn't designed for use by aircrew and ordinence personel who needed a weapon to defend themself.
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.

Eric, I have no idea where you came up with that information but you might want to use google and actually read more than 1 resource.
It was designed to replace the expensive M1A1 Thompson and it cost the military more than $20 each. The "ordinence personel" was "ordinance technicians" a.k.a. military weapons techs and it was not designed for use by either aircrews or ordinance personnel...much more to the story than that.

think they were called "Ordnance technicians"
ordinance: Orderly arrangement; preparation; provision
Ordnance 1. Military materiel, such as weapons, ammunition, combat vehicles, and equipment.
2. The branch of an armed force that procures, maintains, and issues weapons, ammunition, and combat vehicles.
3. Cannon; artillery.
sorry not to be a donkey, but I spent at least 20 min looking at the word thinking something was wrong with it. anyway I hope i didn't misspelt it either.

why? better chance of hitting what your shooting at with your 45 than with one of those. no rifle on the barrel. more of spray and pray. we had one when i was on a 88 crew in the 80's.maybe if your shooting at a side of the barn. you might put one or two rounds in... yea they were really that bad...

well my sources may be a little off but thats not the point the point is this is what we should be able to use instead of the .45

Again, what pilot would carry an automatic weapon in the cockpit of his aircraft? Tell us which ones, and whether they were used in across a squadron as part of the survival pack. Then, you might get it. Maybe.

You do realize that the "Grease Gun" fires the same ammunition as the 45 right? The only thing the M3 would really do is allow you to miss at a higher rate then the pistol you are used to missing with... :rolleyes:

You really are an idiot...
Sub-machine gun only means that it fires PISTOL ammunition at a high rate... As opposed to a MACHINE gun which fires rifle ammunition, such as .303 or 30-06 at a high rate...
Sub-machine gun barrels most certainly ARE rifled you tard...
And a 45, fired from a pistol or SMG is really only accurate to about 50 yards (at best) effectively... The longer barrel of the M3 offers very little if any accuracy beyond standard pistol ranges...

Kingcobradude, you might want to study up more. You're young yet, so you may not know that all bullets are different. Pistol bullets are often very weak In aces high they would be a mere fraction of the stopping power of "peashooter" 7mm guns on some early war planes.
The .45 caliber weapon is a larger diameter, but slower moving round. It was used because it imparts more energy/damage into a human as it enters them. This means it has much less penetration. They were point-blank weapons. More than once, a german soldier has run across a part of a battlefield and been shot at by Tommy guns with no effect. One kraut even found spent .45 rounds in his cuffs and pockets, and had some bruises where they hit.
They are never (repeat, NEVER) goin to damage a plane, a prop, anything on the planes in AH with any number of hits unless you're literally standing on top of one and he's not moving. Even then you only "might" hurt the pilot if you unload a clip. There is a reason the .45 is not used anymore in modern law enforcement.
That's totally ignoring the fact that it's foolish to pretend this ever happened in WW2. I won't spoil your fun, but I will say if you research Bf-109s and the tropical variants you might find a little more fuel to your fire. I just hope you absorb some knowledge in the process

agreed totally except that the rifled .45 is a good weapon at range. (good) not great. the B.A.R. (hence the name) was exactly like this... still wouldnt use it against a plane though unless it was flying right at me and i needed to.

yup i was wrong in the caliber. noted by someone else above... and if you think I'M an idiot than you're an idiot yourself my friend... but it only had an effective range out to 1,500 yards. For a ranged weapon thats only good in my mind. I always had in the back of my mind that it was a .45 round. always forgot that the .45 was a pistol round only and never included rifled rounds. And what do you mean idk what MY OWN GAME NAME stands for? Browning Automatic Rifle obviously unlike what everyone in game THINKS my name is as just a bar..... and i still wouldnt use a BAR against a plane at this range so whats ur point? u trying to put me down or something? grow up and stop flaming and trolling in the BBS

No offense 321BAR but...sshhhhh...just those 3 posts show you know less about weapons than I know about aeronautical engineering...and I know enough about aeronautical engineering to ask questions, not try and state any facts.
Just so you have the correct information...all 20th century small arms used by military forces had rifled barrels...that includes the sub machine guns but does not include the basic shotgun...the .45ACP started out as a pistol round but as illustrated by the devastating capabilities of the Thompson Sub Machine gun, it could reach out and destroy things at longer ranges than a pistol.
The BAR caliber 30.06 had a combat effective range of approximately 400 yards, not 1500...even though it could hit at long range, accuracy suffered...considering they used the .30 Browning machine gun in and against aircraft, what makes you think they would'nt use the more powerful BAR when necessary?
And a 45, fired from a pistol or SMG is really only accurate to about 50 yards (at best) effectively... The longer barrel of the M3 offers very little if any accuracy beyond standard pistol ranges...
Not quite true...the M3 had an effective combat range of 100 yards...spray and pray mind you but still farther than the 50 yards of a 4 inch barreled pistol...and I've fired a 6 inch barreled .45 pistol accurately at 75 yards in competition.
i got all my facts for the gun off of other websites and 2 or 3 of my small arms books
You need to read your sources again...in WWII the M3 was never ever issued to fighter pilots...if at any point a fighter pilot had one, it was an anectdotal incident, not standard military issue...it started out issued to MPs in rear guard positions then went on to be issued to tank crews on the front lines...then basic front line infantry by the Korean war.
The .45 caliber weapon is a larger diameter, but slower moving round. It was used because it imparts more energy/damage into a human as it enters them. This means it has much less penetration. They were point-blank weapons. More than once, a german soldier has run across a part of a battlefield and been shot at by Tommy guns with no effect.

Even then you only "might" hurt the pilot if you unload a clip. There is a reason the .45 is not used anymore in modern law enforcement.
Krusty is correct in most part. The .45ACP was developed to replace the .38special for combat sidearms because the .38 proved to be very ineffective...the .45ACP travels at roughly 800 feet per second, which is close to the velocity of the .38 special but it carries more energy upon impact...aka knockdown power...and it is capable of traveling through the human body even if it hits bone...the effective range is only about 50 yards when fired from a pistol, even though it is deadly to 200 yards ...when fired from a sub machine gun it's effective to about 150 yards. What Krusty failed to note in his anecdote of the German soldiers is that the ranges those German soldiers were hit with was nearly 300 yards...and the same effect occurred with the German MP40s firing 9mm Parabellum...the .45ACP was phased out in most (not all) law enforcement agencies due to much more than just the effective range of the bullets...9mm ACP was chosen due to increased bullet capacity and higher velocity with increased damage upon impact yet sacrificing knock down power and range...others decided to use the .40S&W because it is in between the 9mm and .45, higher velocity and equal knock down power...the .45ACP is still used by some.
I know, Krusty, keep it simple just so it doesn't go over the heads of the unknowing but... :confused:
-
As a small side-comment to yours, the 9MM handguns actually have greater range and accuracy over the .45s because they have a higher velocity and a lighter slug. Often times they do not have the "stopping power" to put a person down (i.e. kill them, incapacitate them) with a single hit because it is so powerful it's going all the way through them and then through whatever else they hit after that. The thing about the .45 is that it "stops" people because it transfers what energy it has upon impact, and has little or none left after (if) it penetrates all the way through. The 9mms retain their E, to put it in AH terms, far better.

Yes sir, my apologies for leaving ballistic speed out of the equation. I'm not a fan of the 9mm even though it's a faster bullet, it's too much like firing a .38 super...I've seen people and animals take a hit and keep running where the .45 and .40 knock them down.

So what? The Vietnam war was around two decades after World War Two, and the last time I checked, Aces High II was not a Vietnam War-era flight simulator.
Im going to do some reseatch and see what squadrens if any used it in ww2 im shure at least 1 used it otherwise just dont continue on hte conversation

1. it WAS issued to pilots during the vietnam war i havent had time to search for a preticulear squadred that used it in WW2
2. Its better than carrying a pistol
3. ITs realitively easy to make
The only pilots that I've read about during the Vietnam War that carried extra personal weapons in their planes were FAC pilots and it wasn't a standard thing, some carried them and some didn't.

:huh have you forgot about enemy aircraft in the area? especially one shooting your chute?
Hmmm .45 pistol rounds with a 30 round magazine versus machineguns and cannons with a gunsight.
Think you'd be better off hiding :rofl

No offense 321BAR but...sshhhhh...just those 3 posts show you know less about weapons than I know about aeronautical engineering...and I know enough about aeronautical engineering to ask questions, not try and state any facts.
Just so you have the correct information...all 20th century small arms used by military forces had rifled barrels...that includes the sub machine guns but does not include the basic shotgun...the .45ACP started out as a pistol round but as illustrated by the devastating capabilities of the Thompson Sub Machine gun, it could reach out and destroy things at longer ranges than a pistol.
The BAR caliber 30.06 had a combat effective range of approximately 400 yards, not 1500...even though it could hit at long range, accuracy suffered...considering they used the .30 Browning machine gun in and against aircraft, what makes you think they would'nt use the more powerful BAR when necessary?
Not quite true...the M3 had an effective combat range of 100 yards...spray and pray mind you but still farther than the 50 yards of a 4 inch barreled pistol...and I've fired a 6 inch barreled .45 pistol accurately at 75 yards in competition.
You need to read your sources again...in WWII the M3 was never ever issued to fighter pilots...if at any point a fighter pilot had one, it was an anectdotal incident, not standard military issue...it started out issued to MPs in rear guard positions then went on to be issued to tank crews on the front lines...then basic front line infantry by the Korean war.
Krusty is correct in most part. The .45ACP was developed to replace the .38special for combat sidearms because the .38 proved to be very ineffective...the .45ACP travels at roughly 800 feet per second, which is close to the velocity of the .38 special but it carries more energy upon impact...aka knockdown power...and it is capable of traveling through the human body even if it hits bone...the effective range is only about 50 yards when fired from a pistol, even though it is deadly to 200 yards ...when fired from a sub machine gun it's effective to about 150 yards. What Krusty failed to note in his anecdote of the German soldiers is that the ranges those German soldiers were hit with was nearly 300 yards...and the same effect occurred with the German MP40s firing 9mm Parabellum...the .45ACP was phased out in most (not all) law enforcement agencies due to much more than just the effective range of the bullets...9mm ACP was chosen due to increased bullet capacity and higher velocity with increased damage upon impact yet sacrificing knock down power and range...others decided to use the .40S&W because it is in between the 9mm and .45, higher velocity and equal knock down power...the .45ACP is still used by some.
I know, Krusty, keep it simple just so it doesn't go over the heads of the unknowing but... :confused:
gyrene i actually went and looked up the BAR online and it had an effective range to 1,500 yards and a max range of shot fired to 4,500. but the thompson and grease gun were rifled? i didnt know this. and btw i nailed it with the effective range of the M3A1... 100 yards is 300feet man. and i said this without actually returning to sources and looking it back up. so i know more than u think man

Yes sir, my apologies for leaving ballistic speed out of the equation. I'm not a fan of the 9mm even though it's a faster bullet, it's too much like firing a .38 super...I've seen people and animals take a hit and keep running where the .45 and .40 knock them down.
one more thing gyrene, not to continue an argument here but just a point. fighter vs fighter puts a starting velocity on all ordinance shot from the plane. a BAR or a .30cal mg on the ground COULD damage an aircraft in flight but theres a reason quad .50cals, .20mms, and .37 and .40mms were used. now i think ill drop this conversation because i was wrong once already :lol

I would be interested in seeing the film from the fight were I was trying to shoot pieces off of your plane. Would like see how much I shot off before the coup de grāce. The films would be like seeing a baby harp seal being clubbed but from the seal's perspective.

LOL...I don't remember you saying 300 feet range on the M3...but I'll give you that one.
the Grease Gun was an SMG... this means it is unrifled and therefore only effective within 100-500 feet give or take... let alone 500 YARDS out :lol
This is what really prompted my replies:
but it only had an effective range out to 1,500 yards. For a ranged weapon thats only good in my mind.
Aside from the idea that you thought sub machine guns used unrifled barrels...1500 yards effective range for any weapon less than .50 caliber is damn good. :D
You can look up the specs on the BAR all you want...strange that a semi automatic rifle has a longer maximum effective range than a bolt action of the same caliber and era...and the bolt action rifle is by far more accurate.
Yes you could kill with the BAR out to 1500 if it was in pristine condition and stabilized then fired single shot...but the operative word is "effective range" and that is combat range of 400 yards, except out in the open where the battle could force longer ranges...even though it was capable of full automatic fire, the 20 round magazine and design flaws kept it from being an outstanding infantry squad support weapon...it was considered inadequate for much other than a semi automatic rifle like the M1 Garand...

alright alright i bit back... i did say maximum range for the BAR was 4500. with effective to 1500. this means that it doesnt have to be pristine and didnt have to be stabilized except by the person weilding it. Yes it was hard to WEILD to fire on full auto. http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg36-e.htm found this site. it said it was actually just too light to fire full auto at a shouldered position. This means it was able to fire auto when supported. BUT it could not fill automatic rifle or LMG roles successfully due to the design flaws as you said.
For the second half. im pretty sure those reasons were higher velocity, better punch, etc. :joystick:

That's one of the JG26 birds that went to the MTO for a bit. I don't believe they got the tropical filter as they didn't get to the Desert.
This is an E7 Trop of JG27 before they got the desert camo.
