The M3 Grease Gun's magazine design was driven by its mass-production, low-cost philosophy, mirroring the British Sten gun. Unlike the Thompson's complex T-lug system requiring milled receivers, the M3 used a simpler single-feed magazine compatible with its stamped sheet metal construction. This design choice prioritized manufacturing efficiency over inter-operability with existing Thompson magazines.
The M3A1 Grease Gun, a WWII-era submachine gun chambered in .45 ACP, was designed as a cheaper alternative to the Thompson. Its M3A1 variant simplified the design by allowing direct bolt cocking with the thumb, unlike the original M3's crank. It features a full-auto-only fire mode and a unique safety integrated into the ejection port cover.
