It chambers the .45 ACP also used in the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun and Colt M1911.Production of this weapon was in full swing in 1943 and was made to supplement the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun and eventually replace it due to the Thompson SMG Being to expensive to manufacture. The M3 was also inspired by another gun: the STEN submachine gun by the fact that both weapons had been made with sheet metal parts and (in later variants of the STEN) had a folding butt stock.

- The M3 (also known as Grease Gun or Cake Decorator) was a submachine gun that was intended to replace the complex and expensive Model 1928 Thompson SMG as the standard U.S. Military submachine gun. The Grease Gun fired .45 ACP rounds, but could easily be converted to fire captured German 9 x 19 mm Parabellum rounds, making it ideal for partisans and resistance fighters, as well as airmen who might need to bail out over German lines.

- The M3 (also known as Grease Gun or Cake Decorator) was a submachine gun that was intended to replace the complex and expensive Model 1928 Thompson SMG as the standard U.S. Military submachine gun. The Grease Gun fired .45 ACP rounds, but could easily be converted to fire captured German 9 x 19 mm Parabellum rounds, making it ideal for partisans and resistance fighters, as well as airmen who might need to bail out over German lines. Pictured is the M3. To load, a magazine is inserted, the ejection port cover is lifted and the cocking handle, or "crank", located on the right side, is rotated back, drawing the bolt to cocked position. The primary problem was that the crank was always catching on something. NEVER, under ANY circumstances, insert the magazine with the bolt cocked. Pushing the mag in so the catch engages or "slapping" the mag to seat it, COULD cause the sear to release the bolt, allowing the piece to fire. The M3 was surpassed by the M3A1 in 1944. The main difference is that the A1 did away with the crank on the right side, made the ejection cover longer, and bored a hole in the top of the bolt. To load a M3A1, insert a magazine, open the ejection cover, insert your finger in the hole in the bolt and pull it back to the cocked position. Doing away with the crank eliminated several parts, making the piece simpler and cheaper to manufacture. Although it was meant to replace the Thompson, 1.5 million Thompsons had been created and the Thompsons outnumbered the M3's by three to one, so the M3 never replaced the Thompson.

The M3 and its improved successor, the M3A1 began to replace the Thompson in first-line service in late 1944 and early 1945. Due to delays caused by production issues and approved specification changes, the M3/M3A1 saw relatively little combat use in World War II. __FORCETOC__

The weapon would be latched onto their sides or stored in their leg bags.It got its name from its similar appearance to the grease gun used by mechanics. After the M3, the army developed the simpler M3A1 for the even faster production.
