Why Germans Hated American M3 "Grease Gun"

Why Germans Hated American M3 "Grease Gun" The M3 submachine gun was designed to be thrown away after it broke, yet it somehow remained in American service for over 50 years. This video tells the full story of how a cheap, ugly, widely hated weapon outlasted nearly everything built to replace it. You will learn why the US military needed to replace the Thompson in the first place, how the British Sten inspired American engineers to build something equally crude, and what happened when paratroopers jumped into Normandy with a gun that looked like it belonged in a mechanic's toolbox. The video covers the specific design choices that made soldiers hate the M3 on first sight, from the finger-hole bolt cocking method to the magazine that jammed constantly because nobody wanted to delay production by fixing a known problem. The second half follows the M3 through Korea, Vietnam, and all the way to the Gulf War in the 1990s where American tankers were still carrying them. Delta Force operators actually preferred suppressed M3s over the MP5 for certain jobs because the old grease gun was quieter. Japanese tankers used their version until 2011.
