− | |weaponinfo = | + | | weaponinfo = 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">[[wikipedia:M3_submachine_gun|Wikipedia entry on M3 submachine gun]]</ref> |

**It should be noted that a special barrel for the M3 is needed in order to attach a suppressor. However, the performance of the suppressor itself is considered very poor compared to the M3's British competitor, the STEN. | **It should be noted that a special barrel for the M3 is needed in order to attach a suppressor.

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> |
