| − | The M3, officially designated the 'United States Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M3', is an American-made automatic submachine gun designed for the US Army in 1942. It was designed to be a cheaper, easier to produce replacement for the famous Thompson submachine gun, and is chambered for the same .45 ACP pistol cartridge. 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 M3 began to enter front line service in mid 1944, but due to delays caused by production issues and approved specification changes, the M3 saw only limited combat use in World War II. The updated M3A1 variant was used in the Korean War and later conflicts.<ref name = "Grease Gun Wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_submachine_gun Wikipedia entry on the M3]</ref>

| − | In 1941, the US Army Ordnance Board observed the effectiveness of submachine guns employed in Western Europe, particularly the German MP 40 and British Sten submachine guns, and initiated a study to develop its own submachine gun of a similar style. They came up with a list of requirements for the gun, which called for an all metal weapon of sheet metal construction in .45 ACP, designed for fast and inexpensive production. It also needed to have a low cyclic rate of fire to make it easier to manage recoil, and be decently accurate. George Hyde, a machinist at General Motors, was given the task of designing the weapon, and five prototypes would be produced and submitted for Army testing by late 1942. During these initial tests, the weapon performed well, scoring high marks in both the accuracy and endurance departments. There were some malfunctions noted by the testers, but these were found to almost all be the result of poor/damaged magazines. The prototype was formally approved by U.S. Army Ordnance in December 1942 as the U.S. Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3. Around 606,694 of the M3 variant submachine gun would be produced between 1943 and 1945.

| − | After its introduction to service, mechanical issues with the M3 were reported in February 1944 by stateside units in training, who cited early failure of the cocking handle/bolt retraction mechanism on some weapons. An investigation revealed several deficiencies in the construction of the M3's bolt retraction mechanism, together with issues concerning barrel removal and retention as well as easily bent rear sights. As a result, several improvements were made. These included a new dust-cover design, modifications to the ejector, a metal guard around the magazine release, and a strengthened rear sight. In December 1944, in response to field requests for further improvements to the basic M3 design, an improved, simplified variant of the M3 was introduced, known as the M3A1. 15,469 M3A1 submachine guns were produced before the end of World War II, and 33,200 more would be made during the Korean War.

| − | The M3 is an automatic, air-cooled blowback-operated weapon that fires from an open bolt. Constructed of plain 1.5 mm-thick sheet steel, the M3 receiver was stamped in two halves that were then welded together. This made the M3 incredibly simple to manufacture, as only a handful of parts required precision machining. The bolt was drilled longitudinally to support two parallel guide rods, upon which were mounted twin recoil springs. This configuration allows for larger machining tolerances, and makes the gun reliable even in wet, sandy, or muddy conditions. The weapon's only safety is the hinged ejection port dust cover. This cover has a metal tab on the underside that fits into a notch in the bolt, locking it in either the forward or rearward position. The M3 has no mechanical means of disabling the trigger, and the insertion of a loaded magazine loads the gun. With receiver walls made of relatively thin-gauge sheet metal, the M3/M3A1 is subject to disabling damage if dropped on an open dust cover – the covers bend easily, negating the safety feature. Dropping the gun on a sharp or hard surface can dent the receiver enough to bind the bolt.<ref name = "Grease Gun Forgotten Weapons">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ivr4QdhVtU Forgotten Weapons video on the M3 and M3A1]</ref>

| − | With its stamped, riveted, and welded construction, the M3 was originally designed as a minimum-cost small arm, to be used and discarded once it became inoperative. As such, replacement parts, weapon-specific tools, and sub-assemblies were not made available to unit-, depot-, or ordnance-level commands at the time of the M3's introduction to service. It was originally hoped that the M3 could be produced in numbers sufficient to cancel future orders for the Thompson, and to allow the army to gradually withdraw the more expensive Thompson from front-line service. However, due to unforeseen production delays and requests for modifications, the M3 was introduced later than expected, and purchases of the Thompson continued until February 1944. The M3 would see limited use in the later years of the Second World War, and the improved M3A1 model would see service in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. During the Korean War, existing M3 guns in service were converted to the improved M3A1 configuration using additional parts. The M3 and M3A1 were largely withdrawn from U.S. frontline service beginning in 1959 and into the early 1960s, but continued to be used until the mid-1990s as on-vehicle equipment aboard armored vehicles.

| | + | | backgroundinfo =The M3 was an automatic, air-cooled blowback-operated weapon that fired from an open bolt. The M3 was chambered for the same .45 round fired by the Thompson submachine gun, but was cheaper to produce, and lighter, although contrary to popular belief it was far less accurate. Constructed of plain .060-in. thick sheet steel, the M3 receiver was stamped in two halves that were then welded together. The M3 was striker-fired, with a fixed firing pin contained inside the bolt. The bolt was drilled longitudinally to support two parallel guide rods, upon which were mounted twin return (recoil) springs. This configuration allowed for larger machining tolerances while providing operating clearance in the event of dust, sand, or mud ingress. The M3 featured a spring-loaded extractor which was housed inside the bolt head, while the ejector was located in the trigger group. Like the British Sten, time and expense was saved by cold-swaging the M3's barrel.<ref name= "wiki"></ref> |

Neither of these designs were ever adopted due to accuracy issues, a fault they shared shared with the 'Krummlauf'.
