Hank Strange provides an expert review of the M3 Grease Gun, highlighting its unique manual of arms, including the internal crank-style charging handle. He demonstrates its operation and live fire, noting its 'humming like a sewing machine' cyclic rate and historical context as a 1943 suppressive fire weapon. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding its specific loading procedure.

This expert review of the M3 Grease Gun covers its .45 ACP direct blowback operation and open-bolt configuration. The demonstration highlights the original ratcheting charging handle, the weapon's slow and controllable rate of fire, and its performance on an outdoor range. The reviewer, identified as an expert, showcases practical handling and firing techniques.

The Apache Arms Carbine was a 1960s attempt to create a cheaper, semi-automatic alternative to the Thompson SMG, designed for compliance with firearm regulations. It utilized M3 Grease Gun magazines and featured crude cast aluminum components and a simple steel tube receiver. Despite initial IRS approval, the company quickly went bankrupt due to poor business management, leaving the carbine as a historically interesting but poorly manufactured firearm.

This YouTube Short focuses on the M3 Grease Gun, exploring its significance and historical context, primarily for its 'why not' appeal. The video leverages popular hashtags like #shorts, #wwii, and #history to attract viewers interested in military firearms and historical artifacts. While the description is brief, the title clearly indicates a focus on a specific World War II-era submachine gun.

The .45 ACP, a historical 'man-stopper' since 1911, remains relevant against modern 9mm expectations. Its manageable 'push' recoil, lower pressures (~21,000 PSI), and natural subsonic speed make it ideal for suppressed firearms and close-quarters combat. Enhanced variants like .45 Super and .460 Rowland offer significantly more power, while its straight-walled design appeals to handloaders.

This Q&A delves into British small arms of WWII, explaining design choices like the Sten's single-feed magazine and the rationale behind not adopting the Owen Gun. It contrasts the Bren with the Soviet DP, discusses the PIAT's regulatory history, and explores the reasons for Britain's delayed assault rifle development, focusing on doctrine and existing infrastructure.

This video features firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson exploring a unique American prototype firearm based on the M3 Grease Gun, designed to shoot around corners. It's compared to the German Krummlauf and is referred to as the M3 'Deflector'. The video delves into its 90-degree firing capability, potential use in tanks or armored vehicles, its "Infinity Sight," and its unusual yellow coloring. Ferguson also discusses the removal of the curved unit, reports on its accuracy and lethality, and touches upon the legacy of curved barrels, drawing a parallel to the modern CornerShot system. The content is presented by the Royal Armouries.

This review details a custom 10mm firearm built by 'Trenches' from the Weapons Guild, featuring a lever-delayed blowback action inspired by the FG42. Mark Serbu analyzes its unique construction from off-the-shelf parts and a modified M3 Grease Gun magazine. He highlights the mechanism's 'momentum amplifier' effect but also points out design flaws in the lever's discontinuous movement causing high stress and reliability issues, suggesting potential improvements.

This video compares a suppressed Thompson M1A1 prototype with the Sten Mk.IIS, detailing the Thompson's unique suppressor design and modifications. Despite comparable muzzle noise, the Thompson's significantly louder mechanical action and heavier, longer profile led to its abandonment in favor of the M3 Grease Gun in 1944 trials.

This YouTube video features the M3 Grease Gun by Umarex, presented as an airgun. The description highlights its connection to popular video games like Call of Duty, Warzone, and PUBG Mobile, along with general firearm terms and categories such as WW2 and full auto. The video likely showcases the airsoft or BB gun replica for entertainment or gaming-related content.

This review of the Kriss Vector .45 ACP highlights its unique Super V recoil mitigation system, allowing for an exceptionally high rate of fire, especially in full-auto mode. While the .45 ACP offers significant 'hatred' delivery, the 9mm is noted as more practical for capacity. The video features range testing with Demetrious Johnson and a detailed disassembly, comparing its cyclic rate to the M3 Grease Gun.
