Title: M3 "Grease gun"
Post by: coyote101 on August 26, 2010, 08:55:19 PM
Another of those guns laying around that needed to be shot before I retire. An M3 "grease gun", a .45 ACP sub-machine gun from  the WWII era. Cost the government about twelve bucks back during the war. Very simple design and pretty reliable. And fun!

I got to fire me one of them things a while back. A fellow where I worked would take old decommisioned parts and make a good weapon. It took him several old ones to make one good one.  They are a real good way to blow through some ammo.
