Nov 20, 2012 · The "Grease Gun mag bag" came in when the M-3 SMG began supplanting the Thompson as on-board eqpt for armored vehicles -- that is, late 1943 at the earliest. Its nomenclature re "CLIPS" does not fit the established QUARTERMASTER system because it was an ORDNANCE item; it was not an item of load-bearing eqpt for individual soldiers.

Here is a link to the October 8, 1945 document from Rock Island Armory explaining the history of their "Letter Prefix" Ordnance Drawing Numbers and transition to the ...

Feb 18, 2016 · Needs more explanation of the guns and their contexts, too.

Dec 31, 2012 · None of our guys ever carried either the M3 or M3A1 on a patrol. We also had a few Thompsons and fired them out there in Bravo sector as well. The only guys I encountered who liked the M3 Grease Gun in our area (Northern I Corps) were a few of the helicopter pilots. Those things are heavy, slow firing and short range.

Dec 31, 2012 · Getting back to the M3, when I got to Korea in 1972 I was assigned to a small DASC with the First Rok Army at Wonju. I was in charge of the arms room for our FAC's and their radio operators and drivers (ROMADS) as well as for the rest of us. We had M3's and BAR's as well as the more modern stuff, CAR-15's and M-16's and the like.

Jan 19, 2020 · This! It feels like a skill canon up close. Which is the opposite of the type 2a. Saw many people call the M3 a noob gun the last few days in game.
