M3 Grease Gun clips - suppressed and 1928 Comparison

[cha00halo]

grease gun looks like an mp38 gone wrong

[ncktbs]

holy shit that thing is quiet

[shotmenot]

Does the M3 fire from an open bolt?

[hanseykemmerer]

I personally like the m3 grease gun better. Easier to load a new magazine, simple design, cheap price, perfect rate of fire (for me) and easy to use.

[MrBurrell2011]

how much did that suppressed m3 set you back?

[TehStrangeTaco]

Wait, aren't actual functioning silencers illegal....?

[MrBurrell2011]

@TehStrangeTaco nope, they afe nfa registered so there are taxes and peperwork to mess with, but they are not illegal, atleast in most states

[LPcustom76]

how badly does the suppressor affect range or power of the round?

[hunteran]

Wow, that thing is wicked cool. I'm envious...

[elperronegro]

Nicely done with the '28.

[ylism]

@Wolfblade369 With bird shot maybe.

[tchimmerroks]

What's the rate of fire in the Grease Gun w/the buffer? Did any production M3s come equipped w/the buffer?

[Haygan9799]

lol my dad was talking about how the mechanics had grease guns when he was in the military . with the silencer it looks like an mp40

[fishdude333]

HOLY CRAP THATS AN ACTUAL SILENCER!

[Punchie1989]

Come on and make my day jew

[jessedeheer]

this looks like an failed attemd to make an american MP40

[1stmdcap17]

I rather take the Thompson.

[ibswine]

M3's are a fun gun to shoot. And yes @WHOhasFaLL3n, it's an open bolt design, rather then say an M16 which is a closed bolt design. The M16 is a fun gun too.

[erererer2]

werent these used y like mechanics nd tank crews

[vilmarmoccelin]

I am reading the book "Inside Delta Force" from Eric Haney and discover that the Deltas used the M3 in the very begining, and even before they changed the M3 for the HK MP5 they continue using the M3 with supressor (the weight of the .45APC compensating the low speed from the subsonic)... Now I see the why!!!

Like someone said... Sending hammers thru the barrel... quietly!

I'm realy jealous, here in Brazil we can't have one of those without a loooot of borocracy (almost impossible to fill!).

[tedatlas]

@vilmarmoccelin

I think you have to jump through some hoops here in America to get a automatic weapon too. Bureaucrats suck no matter where you live lol.

[WHOhasFaLL3n]

i noticed around 1:20 when you put in another mag you never re opened the bolt to let the first round of the new mag in the chamber. did you purposily leave one round in the chamber befor swapping mags so you woulding have to cock the bolt or are you doing something im not seeing.

[adcosteve]

@WHOhasFaLL3n if you watch again, you see I opened the bolt before I dropped the empty magazine to confirm the chamber was empty.

[darkbearrider]

@adcosteve does the m3 grease gun fire from an open bolt?

[AlienZygote010]

@darkbearrider yes

[shutthefuckupfatman]

@WHOhasFaLL3n If im not mistaken the the M3 is an open bolt design which means that the bolt only closes when the trigger is pressed, which means basically that when a new magazine is inserted a rackign of the bolt is unnecesary.

[PCDC221]

@WHOhasFaLL3n i'm not sure but i think that the grease gun shoots with an open bolt

[firebugeater]

@WHOhasFaLL3n

The M3 (aswell as most submachineguns of the era) fires from an open bolt. This means that the bolt is locked in the rearward position, and pulling the trigger releases the bolt to go forward. The bolt has a fixed firing pin that hits the primer as soon as it closes the round in the chamber. This means unless you have a dud, there will never be a live round in the chamber with the bolt closed. He has to lock the bolt to the rear in order to fire rounds from the new mag.

[mindeloman]

@WHOhasFaLL3n All SMGs from this time shot from an open-bolt design. Which is: you charge the gun by cycling the bolt toward the rear. The trigger lug grabs and holds it in place againts the resistance of the spring. When the trigger is pulled the bolt flys forward stripping a round out of the magazine and chambering it simultaneously the firing pin stikes the primer firing the round. The blowback starts the cycle over again unitll the trigger is released and stops the bolt.

[TheMuslimKiller]

@mindeloman I like that system a lot better to be honest. Very simple everything in one action. Got a slow rate of fire but that can be an advantage. Sounded like 4 or 5 rounds per sec.

[claudiobenassi85]

@WHOhasFaLL3n Gun fires from an open bolt anyway.

[tomseventyr]

I wounder if that silencer made the gun more accurate since that supressor makes the barrel quite allot longer.

[streetgangtm]

ZERO recoil, i love it

[RAWKLOBSTAR]

I want one. Of each.

[mechmusician]

As for home defense, there is NOTHING scarier in a stranger's dark house than the sound of a pump action shotgun being cocked. Get yourself an M1897 trench gun and buckshot shells. Good and loud action, and you can't miss. Reliability? It's a pump that's designed by JON BROWNING for wartime use by soldier's drudging through muddy trenches. Case closed.

[mechmusician]

The tommy has a higher rate of fire. Which can be good or bad. It means at close range you have a better chance of hitting your target. At longer range you won't because it will buck more. Reliability, they're both straight blowback with few parts. Both reliable as hell.

What won for the M3 was price. Couple hundred to make a tommy gun. $20 for Buick to stamp out an M3. Case closed. 1 problem though. The M3 can't fit a 50 or 100-round drum. But hell, the M3 mags were cheap anyway just made more

[sompret]

I've read that back then the M3 was even cheaper to make than the Thompson, practically becoming america's version of the Sten. Would it still be cheap to make one today?

[Scrod99]

Hey, cool to see someone with an M3. I've done some reasearch on the M3, and I have a question. Do you think the Thompson is better, or is the M3 an ok attempt to replace it?

[adcosteve]

@Scrod99 The M3 is a superior weapon in every way over the Thompson.

[DJMation]

@adcosteve

I'm not saying your wrong, but lets not forget that the US troops in WW2 greatly preferred the Tommy to the M3.

[adcosteve]

@DJMation most anyone will prefer what they are used to with given something new.

[IslandVeeDub]

@adcosteve I was just wondering in what ways is it superior to the Thompson? By the way cool video man. Keep posting more M3 action!

[adcosteve]

@IslandVeeDub less parts, easier to produce, better ergonomics, in the sand, mud, rain, accuracy - all the tests the Army put it up against the Thompson it came out ahead. The port door cover was a big deal in making it work in the mud.

[themarine1701]

@adcosteve Thompson survive through mud, dirt and sand, my friend. And it is only the stock and grip that make the thing expensive, not the whole gun it self. But you should know that money sometimes exchange quality.

By the way, the M3 is not that accurate.

[xDIEHARDxUSMCx]

sick

[Thebestever441]

EPIC!

[comunisttanpon]

Well its official... I'm jealous

[Mossy500A]

Nice ending.

[Jacko459]

That wasnt a 1928 thompson...

[UKsniper4]

@Jacko459 yes it was

[mmarsh1972]

@UKsniper4

No I think Jacko is right. Hes firing a M1A1 Thompson, not a 1928 Thompson. The M1A1 was the version used in WWII, the model 1928 was the civilian version infamously known within the Mafia.

The 1928 had a longer barrel, used a drum magazine, and had a wooden foregrip. The M1A1 was the US Army version.

[jgreystoke]

@mmarsh1972

If you look closely, you will see that the cocking knob is on the top of the receiver, not at the side. Therefore it is not an M1A1. The barrel length was the same 10.5 inches for the M1928 and the M1A1. The former usually had the Cutts compensator fitted, like in the videowhich kept the muzzle down, and added a couple of inches to the length. The M1A1 was not fitted with the Cutts. The M1928 could use either drums of box magazines, the M1A1 could only use the box mag.

[mmarsh1972]

@UKsniper4

I take that back. Got mixed up with the 1921 and 1928. Yes it looks to be a 1928 after all.

[georgewashington92]

is the grease gun reliable?should I buy one?

[UrbanTiger74]

Literally, sending hammers downrange.

[4EverBaked20]

the grease gun with supressor would been great in ww2 when u had u garand or springfeild n the germans were to close pull out ur Grease gun with the supressor n take off those heads

[xGothimox]

Subscribed for teaching the kid at the end the rules of gun safety.

[soixe1997]

were you shooting suppressed in your yard?

[Gemo377]

The Philippine marines made one like that, with optics too

[iconhelmets]

how do uafford all of these full autos?

[Googahley]

@135twilight That's how you're supposed to hold it dumbass, there is no other place to put your hands other than that spot.

[NormanMatchem]

Pretty effective silencer.

[TGLymantaiste]

That looked good I havent fired oe of thoe in YEARS. I had a full auto MAC 10 for a while but that thing was like trying to hold on to a pissed off cat

[Tux3d0]

i dont like how he shoots, but if he is confortable i dont care...

[CODwontons]

hahah that suppressor is awesome

[135twilight]

You're not supposed to hold it from the magazine. Never hold the gun from the magazine or else it will jam.

[bazookaman1944]

@135twilight

He isnt. He is holding it on the magazine port. And it wasn't jamming, was it?

[franciccio1998]

il silenziatore toglie efficenza all'arma n questo modo un grease gun non uccide a più di 400m

[Alexn1067]

compared to the mp-40 the m3 shoots the .45 ACP at a slower rate but at a necessary one to make it controllable on extended bursts. Personally it seems like the m--40 might have slightly better ergonomics, but in terms of production equal.

thompson, far more intimidating then either m3 or mp-40, better in my opinion, but harder to control in extended bursts and more expensive to make.

[Alexn1067]

i want one for home defense.

totally fuckin motivating, motivation to get your ass out of my house

[victorrain]

@Alexn1067 Yeah, but the suppressed sound doesn't make you think you're getting shot at. 

[chrismc410]

@Alexn1067 well, a good 12 gauge pump action shotgun being racked is motivation enough for most to get said ass out of said house. But a Grease Gun will work too.

[fatsuburbanwhiteboy]

@Alexn1067 i said that on a diff vid and people said "if u want a riddled up house."

[Bobedy444]

how do u get 1 of these

[johnny0L]

You made the mag change look easy! I suck at it with the M3.

[johnny0L]

How's the mag change on the M1928or the M1?

The mag guide on the lower reciever look clumsy.

Is it a problem for mag changes?

[johnny0L]

I fired an M3A1 and found it to be utterly controllable and a please to shoot. I really got a kick out of putting my finger in the bolt to cock it. The only real fault that I found with it is the amount of time that it takes to change mags. The whole process is kinda sloppy.

[branch42]

M3's lower rate of fire makes it easier to control, and waste far less ammo. with the can barrel on, it is the softest .45acp full auto ever. far less temperamental, way lighter, and handier. There were good reasons why they made it as an alternative to the 1928. very few parts and wear items. damn near perfect.

[ItsMagazineNotClip]

Clips...

[adcosteve]

@ItsMagazineNotClip

as in movie/film....

[ItZzPaNiiKzZ]

@ItsMagazineNotClip I like the name lol ^^

[SuperUsinfantry]

I'll choose the Thompson M1928A1.

[esh325]

The tommy gun looks much prettier compared to the grease gun, but the grease gun is an overall better design.

[molanlabexm15]

That suppressor is sick.

[tchimmerroks]

As much as I love the M3 for its unique, odd, stubby appeal and it almost Neanderthal simplicity, I have to say the Tommy Gun owns, in this demonstration.

[ilikemountaindew22]

looks like a mp40

[FuriousPixel]

cool man nice gun

[hydra046]

i think these (the grease guns) had an easier time with controllability due to the lower cyclic rate.

[UFO29]

Looks very easy to shoot with that ridiculously large suppressor :-)

[askrodel]

Our navy and marine (Philippines) due to lack of funds are now re-issuing this cool sub machine gun.

[curseofa5r5a]

i would do teh same, hi there in philippines

[fritoflight531]

I really want that suppressed M3.

[victorrain]

At 1:22, how do you chamber a round? I saw you work the charging handle before releasing the empty magazine, but when you reload. You just start shooting.

[adcosteve]

It fires from an open bolt. chambering=firing

[1kperday]

"where does he get these wonderful toys?"

:D

[happymerc]

what suppressor is on the m3? does it use wipes? I'm assuming it doesn't.  Thanks,

HappyMerc

[Cnacki77]

This is a great video!

[IslandVeeDub]

Damn i wish i could own a M3 Grease Gun. Or shoot one!

[pdalko]

Years ago I saw a movie with a young Mel Gibson in it, they all had suppressed M3s. Cool movie.
