Yeah, the M3 Grease Gun was inspired by the Sten, which was an emergency gun that needed to be as cheap and easy to produce as the British needed to quickly re-arm after Dunkirk. The Americans saw the Sten and while they wanted something that's a bit more refined by that gun, they still liked how cheap and quickly it could be produced in comparison to the much more expensive Thompson.
The Sten MKII-which feeds 9×19mm ammo through the left side, unlike most firearms that use box magazines that feed from the bottom-the Sten MKII has a small perpendicular L-shaped slot along and near the rear of the straight firing slot for the free-floating charging handle that fits into a hole in the bolt, which is kept from falling out of the slot via the receiver tube to hold the bolt back in a fixed position, so it doesn't move forward. It has a push-button fire selector, pushed left for "A" (auto), and pushed right for "R" (semi-auto), AKA, "repeat" fire. It's a simple, but effective SMG!
Without the bolt block in the cover, if the soldier jumped off a truck, or other slightly elevated spot, the weight of the bolt could cause it to retract enough to strip a round from the magazine. With a fixed firing pin this will result in a discharge of the weapon.
Did you know that we had several of these in 1990. The biggest problem is runaways. if the trigger seer doesn't catch the bolt you are just going to continue firing. Keep your weapons pointed down range gentlemen
They were never designed to be used for decades, last ones were made a few years after WWII. And since they are passed on through multiple generations of soldiers many of whom treat it with anything but care ...

@@jolanderphilip I know a guy who still refuses to believe the High Power is not some rattling piece of junk that is DESIGNED to malfunction, he had like five of them as a sidearm, none of them ever worked properly.
When the U.S. entered the war in 12/1941 the Army had only one type of type of full-auto personal defense weapon, the M1929 Thompson SMG. These were very expensive, over $250 apiece in 1941 dollars, quite heavy, and not exactly compact. The original intent was to issue two Thompsons to each medium tank as part of its equipment. The M3 Lee had seven crewmen, so five of them had to rely on their sidearms alone (or whatever they could scrounge) when outside the tank. However, Auto-Ordnance was a small company that couldn't handle the vastly increased demand. Consequently, most Lee tanks in combat had only one Tommy gun aboard. The Ordnance branch immediately began looking for alternatives that were cheaper and quick to manufacture. The Thompson went through several stages of simplification to reduce its cost and meet the demand, culminating in the M1A1 SMG which came in at about $60 each -- a big cut in the M1929's price but still almost twice the price of an M1 Garand. The Army adopted an M2 SMG that used Thompson magazines. The M2 was cheaper than the Thompson and easier to control and hold on a target, but still not ideal for tanks because it had a full-length wooden stack, making it almost as bulky as the Thompson. Thanks to production delays, the M2 never got issued to the troops. Tankers needed a weapon with firepower that didn't take up too much room inside the already crowded interior of the AFV and could pass easily through the crew hatches. Stowage in external bins was unacceptable. This is why the M3 was so welcomed by the Armored branch, even though it was so unconventional compared to the weapons the very conservative Ordnance branch preferred to authorize. And it was cheap! From mid-1944 each M4 Sherman was equipped with five Greasers for the price of one and a half Thompsons.
@@peakovacevic1533 A bit less according to many sources. Guide Lamp Division, the GM subsidiary that manufactured the Grease gun, priced them in lots of thousands rather than single units. Estimated unit cost ranges from about $20 to as low as $14. Those were the prices the United States government paid in WWII. On average, the price of an M3 submachine gun was about the same as an M1911A1 pistol. About 600,000 M3 SMGs were produced from late 1942 to 1944, and 50,000 even more simplified M3A1 SMGs were made between 1945 and 1953. Today they're worth between $15,000 and $20,000 each depending on their condition.

Tbh the Recoil was great and the ammunition was decent perfect for mid to close-range shooting and you could put in maybe extra gear to make it more reliable
When I was trained to use it, the DI emphasized, "This is not a kill weapon! It is a knockdown weapon." You may kill the first guy, but he will fall back and temporarily knock the guys immediately behind him down.
One of my favourite examples of simplifying is on the M3, traditionally they would have the dust over safety and a traditional charging handle. They ended up removing the charging handle and just going with "Just use your thumb or something to pull the bolt back"
That was the M3A1 when the bolt was given a finger hole to charge the bolt to the rear and cock the weapon. We had a mix of M3s and M3A1s in the arms room.

The M3 had some serious staying power too. My dad trained on one in the 1980's and M1 Abrams crews were rolling through Iraq with these in the 90's during the Gulf War. A 50 service life is dam good for a simple amalgamation of stamped sheet metal.
In fact, the only known problem with the M3 & the M3A1 was carried over from other famous SMGs in the war: That being their poorly built single stack magazines that were prone to feed failures or spring failures. So soldiers were regularly taught to underload it by 2 to 5 rounds short just to prevent any magazine issues.
One of our M88 commanders, when I was in 3d ACR, absolutely LOVED his M3. He flat-out refused to carry anything else. He also was fairly accurate with it out to about 100 meters or so, from what I was told.
He must've been lucky and got one with rifling still in the barrel. Those things were only supposed to last through WW II. By the time they got to be exclusively M88 issue they were nearly scrap.

Yeah remember it as something worse than it actually is IRL. I still dont understand why they chamber it in 9mm in that game (and cut the barrel off). They should've used the model for the 10mm SMG instead as even though 10mm is also weaker than 45 ACP, that'll at least show a better representation of the gun that actually fires quite a big punch IRL.
@@cleeiii357 10mm auto is far more powerful than 9mm luger and 45acp, and the difference in power of 9mm and 45 is pretty negligible. The only way 10mm is less powerful is if you're using the fbi spec ammo, which unfortunately is what most 10mm loadings are.

US, Brits and Aussie were really pragmatic during WW2. They created a lot of simple SMGs that quick and easy to produce. You can even stamp it on your dad's garage (provided he has steel stamp machine). M3 Grease gun, Sten Gun MkIII, Owen Gun.
Little differences between the m3 m3a1 grease guns is the m3 has a charging handle and on the m3a1 the bolt has a place for the shooters finger so they can charge the smg
"The brand new M3 submachine gun, a weapon of choice, simply open a lid and with a slight pull of the trigger you too can close the eye lids of your enemies."
@@Fingeroo I dunno how much of a chance I have at shooting from an M3 cuz I am from europe, but I believe you that it is heavy, question is whether that is from factory or due to poor maintenance?
@@ThraakullOpen bolt guns typically have pretty shit trigger pulls because the trigger is the only thing holding the entire bolt assembly from slamming into battery and firing the gun. It's really not something you can get around, but the M3 being in. 45 ACP definitely doesn't help compared to the Sten and MP40 in 9mm and the PPSH/PPD/PPS in 7.62x25. Lighter cartridge means lighter bolts means less weight on the trigger
This little bastard was solid, seeing use all the way through Vietnam even. Best part was, if you broke it, no biggie, they had millions of the damn things. Edit: I fact checked myself and they only made 800,000, so perhaps not millions, but they were dispensable.
Served all the way to the late Gulf Wars and even Syria. Had it's issues being so old like runaways, but theres virtue in it being so compact and cheap but reliable. Theres even some photos of Phillipino Grease Guns being used during the Marawi Siege
Grease gun was cheap and super reliable. That thing had a consistency equivalent to modern m16s back in the 1940s. It was easy to manufacture and should’ve been utilized more in the war. The problem was supplying the ammunition for the weapon as it used a caliber uncommon back then.
If the government can give, it can take or at the very least, require something of you. Go for a more private or DIY approach instead. Though if you have a higher trust in government than most gun enthusiasts, then go ahead.

It's not single stack. It's double stack, single feed. It's both a pro and a con. Definitely a con for the user, because loading it is a nightmare, just like the other double stack single feed mags, and the reliability suffers from transition between two positions for the round to sit in a mag, into one position it can feed from. But from manufacturing point of view, it makes for a much simpler bolt. And at the time of the m3s invention, cost was everything.
@@Alwayscommentseveryday No problem mate. But you were right about the other smg the us used. US marine core to be exact. The reising m50 and m55. Amazing smg for civilian and police use. Horrible for the military. Closed bolt, single stack magazine (super easy to load, but capacity was horrible), very fast rate of fire. Very controllable and accurate because of the closed bolt and despite the terrible stock (reising m60 had a much better stock tho). But it hated the mud. And so, the troops hated that gun because it was unreliable, and needed frequent magazine changes. Bewilderingly, instead of fixing those issues, the military just reduced the magazine length so it held 12 rounds, and told the troops to use it semi-automatic. Yeah right, like on Guadalcanal that was feasible. Another single stack, this time *rifle*/lmg, was the johnson lmg. It had a horizontal 20 round mag. Bery slim and long. It was very much liked by the troops. And was used in a way that today's "assault rifles" are used. US weaponry is super interesting, I recommend watching forgotten weapons- adds cool context to all the decisions.

Fury was a good movie, I even waited years after it's released to see it, but once I did I loved it! And then realized that there haven't been any good and memorable WW2 films in a long long time. Hopefully they make a comeback and are done well like Fury.
The lack of a safety caused my great great uncle to accidentally shoot through the canvas roof on his jeep. His whole unit had to watch a safety video after that
Did you know that the MP40 was one of the least reliable guns? This is because the gun would jam quite often. Even though the gun would jam a lot and wasn't that reliable, this was still one of the most used guns in WWII.
I read that they were called “grease guns” because the factory coated them with Cosmoline or some other greasy, waxy material, to keep the cheap steel from rusting in storage and transport. Of course, both could be true- both the gun’s greasy surface and its resemblance to a mechanic’s lubricating device would reinforce the name “grease gun.”
The M3 grease gun family is a perfect example of American manufacturing. They made a gun as cheap as they thought they could. But then near instantly went to the m3a1 removing the charging handle because they realized they could save like $0.15 on the gun.
That is a pretty cheap way of doing it since you'd need to open the cover to shoot the gun anyway so why not merge the two. It also makes it easy to see if it's on or not.
The closest thing these days is the HK UMP. Most of the gun is injection molded plastic including the stock, the reciever and the trigger group. The only real metal parts are the barrel, bolt and recoil spring.

love john bernthal. he grew up in my home town. still a local hero. he showed up to two of my concerts in highschool, and was there for most the football games. he even showed up to a couple different graduating classes, including my own senior classes graduation.
Ive gotten to speak with him a couple times now. he is such a huble, encouraging, and friendly human being.
Alot of his characters and roles might make him seem unapproachable, but he is bar none one of the nicest celebs to exist in Hollywood. Especially with his love of animals. dude loves to out of his way to save abused animals, especially pit bulls. Great guy. super lucky to have gotten to meet with him.
Carried by some tank crews all the way up to the '91 Gulf War.
It’s crazy how lackluster and cheap they made this gun yet how effective it still was
US, Brits and Aussie were really pragmatic during WW2. They created a lot of simple SMGs that quick and easy to produce. You can even stamp it on your dad's garage (provided he has steel stamp machine). M3 Grease gun, Sten Gun MkIII, Owen Gun.
The weastern allies loved our fast shooty sheet metal
And many of them still function to this day.
Wait until you see the PPS, designed and constructed in besieged and starving Leningrad.
It's crazy how much they cost, because the government makes it illegal to make new ones
An actual grease gun that shoots grease would be the most cursed but beautiful gun ever
Little differences between the m3 m3a1 grease guns is the m3 has a charging handle and on the m3a1 the bolt has a place for the shooters finger so they can charge the smg
I went in the army national guard in 79', I was a APC driver, my TO weapon was a M3.
Not gonna lie, I thought it was called the Grease Gun because it was so Greasy 💀
"The brand new M3 submachine gun, a weapon of choice, simply open a lid and with a slight pull of the trigger you too can close the eye lids of your enemies."
The trigger pull on an M3 is really heavy and nasty, at least one the ones I’ve shot.
@@Fingeroo I dunno how much of a chance I have at shooting from an M3 cuz I am from europe, but I believe you that it is heavy, question is whether that is from factory or due to poor maintenance?
@@ThraakullOpen bolt guns typically have pretty shit trigger pulls because the trigger is the only thing holding the entire bolt assembly from slamming into battery and firing the gun. It's really not something you can get around, but the M3 being in. 45 ACP definitely doesn't help compared to the Sten and MP40 in 9mm and the PPSH/PPD/PPS in 7.62x25. Lighter cartridge means lighter bolts means less weight on the trigger
That guy has been in so many movies and games, he's so cool, especially because of his voice lines that he has said
The grease gun was beyone cheap. A Thompson machine gun cost $125 to make. A grease gun cost $1.25. That is NOT a typo.
This little bastard was solid, seeing use all the way through Vietnam even. Best part was, if you broke it, no biggie, they had millions of the damn things.
Edit: I fact checked myself and they only made 800,000, so perhaps not millions, but they were dispensable.
Served all the way to the late Gulf Wars and even Syria. Had it's issues being so old like runaways, but theres virtue in it being so compact and cheap but reliable. Theres even some photos of Phillipino Grease Guns being used during the Marawi Siege
Some special forces still use them.
Grease gun was cheap and super reliable. That thing had a consistency equivalent to modern m16s back in the 1940s. It was easy to manufacture and should’ve been utilized more in the war. The problem was supplying the ammunition for the weapon as it used a caliber uncommon back then.
You mean the .45 ACP? It was used by the Thompson and M1911.
@@geoffreyherrick298 yeah I was thinking of a different weapon when I left that comment 4 months ago
"take him through that gun" is crazy
Really cool, Love using the m3 in my living history sets
One of my favorite old school, World War guns was the British sten
Which was universally reviled by everyone I ever spoke to who had the misfortune to be issued one. RIP J.O.
DID YOU KNOW at the time that gun only cost $15 to make
Every American house hold that wants a govt issued greese gun, should get one
If the government can give, it can take or at the very least, require something of you.
Go for a more private or DIY approach instead. Though if you have a higher trust in government than most gun enthusiasts, then go ahead.
@@mill2712it already takes as much as it can get it's grubby little mitts on and gives guns to the taliban, ukraine, taiwan, IDF, the cartels, the IRS, the post office, and every other agency and tinpot police dept with a pulse.....
if it gave us a few grease guns who'd even notice...lol
The worse feature from the grease gun, is that the magazine is only single stacked, but that is only my least of my concerns.
It's not single stack. It's double stack, single feed.
It's both a pro and a con. Definitely a con for the user, because loading it is a nightmare, just like the other double stack single feed mags, and the reliability suffers from transition between two positions for the round to sit in a mag, into one position it can feed from.
But from manufacturing point of view, it makes for a much simpler bolt. And at the time of the m3s invention, cost was everything.
@@anderoo9260 Oh Sorry I didnt know about that
@@Alwayscommentseveryday No problem mate. But you were right about the other smg the us used. US marine core to be exact. The reising m50 and m55. Amazing smg for civilian and police use. Horrible for the military. Closed bolt, single stack magazine (super easy to load, but capacity was horrible), very fast rate of fire. Very controllable and accurate because of the closed bolt and despite the terrible stock (reising m60 had a much better stock tho). But it hated the mud. And so, the troops hated that gun because it was unreliable, and needed frequent magazine changes.
Bewilderingly, instead of fixing those issues, the military just reduced the magazine length so it held 12 rounds, and told the troops to use it semi-automatic.
Yeah right, like on Guadalcanal that was feasible.
Another single stack, this time *rifle*/lmg, was the johnson lmg. It had a horizontal 20 round mag. Bery slim and long. It was very much liked by the troops. And was used in a way that today's "assault rifles" are used.
US weaponry is super interesting, I recommend watching forgotten weapons- adds cool context to all the decisions.
@@anderoo9260 I sont even know what to say because of your comment but Single feed kinda sucks tbh, and I already watched other videos by Forgotten Weapons
People complaining about the feeding issues...Me thinking what about the runaway issues.
So nice of the Punisher to teach a young man how to use a gun. What a wholesome guy!
shane walsh really over here training soldiers
Shane Walsh definitely the type of cop who “forgets” to turn his body cam on
@@Cbuck-in8umHe’s also the type of guy to be completely okay with sitting on a farm for an entire season
Fury is a phenomenal film honestly. Super underated.
That tiny laugh was just legendary
"Now you ain't" is still one of the most badass quotes from any movie I've seen.
“Now you killin, now you ain’t”
Never saw that scene but I immediately knew who it was(sounded like Shane)
"CORAL"
Know it has nun' to do with shane. but carl was the best TWD character no doubt.
@@TheDarkDefender13 Negang
Did you know that most guns have a trigger.
Now you're shooting now you aint
I love your wool shirt which company did you order from
Thanks! It’s an original from WWII
@@WorldWarWisdomLooks like a Convertible Collar shirt, am I right?
agree, awesome convertible collar wool shirt. I have a hard time finding originals in my size... tall and long arms. I'm lucky to own 2 original M1937 that fit well, both the stand-up collar style.
Fury was a good movie, I even waited years after it's released to see it, but once I did I loved it! And then realized that there haven't been any good and memorable WW2 films in a long long time.
Hopefully they make a comeback and are done well like Fury.
The lack of a safety caused my great great uncle to accidentally shoot through the canvas roof on his jeep. His whole unit had to watch a safety video after that
Funny and ironic how this nice attention to detail was in Fury, which is also notorious for being one of the least accurate WW2 movies
You look like captain America before the super serum
*a design that was cheap, compact and easy to produce without sacrificing any reliability*
Something the British couldn’t exactly replicate
Its a great weapon, simple, powerful and reliable. Compact to carry in a tank, I loved mine.
Yeah exactly when you showed the safety it reminded me of that scene 😮
My man went full interlink. Mad respect for you, thanks for bring this up!
Did you know that the MP40 was one of the least reliable guns? This is because the gun would jam quite often. Even though the gun would jam a lot and wasn't that reliable, this was still one of the most used guns in WWII.
I read that they were called “grease guns” because the factory coated them with Cosmoline or some other greasy, waxy material, to keep the cheap steel from rusting in storage and transport. Of course, both could be true- both the gun’s greasy surface and its resemblance to a mechanic’s lubricating device would reinforce the name “grease gun.”
Best gun on cod WW2
Jon NAILED that character lol
It looks more like a modern day grease gun instead of back then
Fury was amazing, slick and tight audio video production makes it a joy to watch!
Berthals character in Fury was amazing. So much depth. Tough hillbilly most of the time but you saw how hurt he was at the dinner table scene
The M3 grease gun family is a perfect example of American manufacturing. They made a gun as cheap as they thought they could. But then near instantly went to the m3a1 removing the charging handle because they realized they could save like $0.15 on the gun.
And the charging handle is flimsy and tend to snapped
WAS THAT THE PUNISHER!
Yes
That is a pretty cheap way of doing it since you'd need to open the cover to shoot the gun anyway so why not merge the two.
It also makes it easy to see if it's on or not.
Something new to learn everyday about WWII guns
I’m gonna call it. The grease guns gonna come back at some point since it’s cheap to produce
The closest thing these days is the HK UMP. Most of the gun is injection molded plastic including the stock, the reciever and the trigger group. The only real metal parts are the barrel, bolt and recoil spring.
Why is bro so charismatic
i truly think this was the best smg of world war 2. not because of mechanical superiority, but because of simplicity and abundance.
Also its known for jamming. A lot. It isnt smt like "oHhHHh overeacTionSssss" it actualy jammed a quite bit.
You open it 😏 now you're killing, you close it you ain't.
This guy made me feel like I'm in training camp in Call of Duty 1
Bernthal’s voice is so unique I didn’t even have to see him lol
That scene was gold 🥇. Great actors
I was immediately thinking of Fury when you asked how a Grease Gun works lmao
I feel like I learned ww2 from cod or this guy
Using the scene from fury is huge
Shane of the walking dead
That scene makes so much sense now!!! Thanks for that 😊
Bro his laugh has to be the best part of the whole movie 😂
that was shane from walking dead
When in tankers basic training we learned to take that apart and put it back together in the dark.
