Weapon Background

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.[1]

Trivia

  • M3 wants to be helpful in her squad, although she doubted her role after being called a grease gun. The 'grease gun' moniker comes from the M3's similarities to an actual grease injector gun.[2][1]
  • In GF 4coma[3], she was traumatized by a Goliath Tracked Bomb controlled by HG P38Thumb button.pngP38  when ambushing and destroying a Sangvis Ferri bunker. In reality, the Goliath Tracked Bomb was well-known for wreaking havoc on Allied forces[4], while the M3 itself was used in limited numbers by US Army Rangers, 82nd, and 101st Airborne Troops during the Normandy Invasion.
    • And because of its compact size, the M3 Submachine Gun can be tucked into a parachute harness, allowing airborne troops to engage targets upon landing.[5]
  • The OSS version of the M3 includes a silencer and booby trap system called the 'Bushmaster Device'. The device consists of a triggering hook and pull-type trigger. If the firing safety is off and the tripwire is pulled, the striker pushes the spring, launching the hook and depressing the M3's trigger until the magazine is empty. The Silenced M3 was intended to be used by US OSS(Now CIA) and British SOE(Special Operation Executive).[6]
    • 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.
  • After the discovery of the Krummlauf Curved Barrel for AR StG44Thumb button.pngStG44 , 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.[5]
  • The M3A1 is an improved version of M3. M3A1 was lighter than its predecessor due the simplified cocking mechanism, very reliable and easier to maintain.
