*The OSS version of M3 ~~include~~ silencer and booby ~~traps which~~ called as 'Bushmaster Device'. The device consists of triggering hook, and pull-type trigger. As the firing safety is off and the tripwire ~~was~~ pulled, the striker pushes the spring, launching the hook and ~~depressed~~ the M3 trigger until the magazine is empty.

*After the discovery of Krummlauf Curved Barrel for {{doll name|StG44|AR|3}}, US army began an experiment of curve-barreled M3 in 1945. Initially, the curve-barreled version of M3 was intended for tank ~~crew~~ to ~~be fired~~ back from tank cupola or driver's hatch at assailants. Aside of armored crew version, the infantry version was ~~tested~~ to be ~~able to~~ fired from foxhole, windows, and ~~the~~ wall ~~corner~~ without exposing themselves.

*After the discovery of the Krummlauf Curved Barrel for {{doll name|StG44|AR|3}}, the US army began to experiment with curve-barreled M3s in 1945. Initially, the curve-barreled version of the M3 was intended for tank crews to fire back from within the tank cupola or driver's hatch at assailants. Aside from the armored crew version, the infantry version was intended to be fired from a foxhole, windows, and around wall corners without exposing themselves. Neither of them were ever adopted due to accuracy issues which were shared with the Krummlauf.<ref name="leroy"></ref>

*M3A1 is an improved version of M3. M3A1 was lighter than its predecessor due the simplified cocking mechanism, very reliable and easier to maintain.
