Battle of the Submachine Guns Pt.2: Kriss Vector and M3 Grease Gun

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 Kriss Vector's 'Super V' system significantly mitigates muzzle rise by redirecting recoil downwards, offering superior control compared to classic SMGs like the Thompson M1928 and H&K MP5. While full-auto is challenging due to its high rate of fire (1200 rpm), the two-round burst mode provides exceptional accuracy. The video details the evolution of the Vector through its generations and explains the mechanics of the Super V system.

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.

The Kriss Vector, known in Call of Duty as the 'Fennec', is a unique firearm with a distinctive recoil mitigation system, most effective in full-auto. Civilian semi-auto versions are considered a fun novelty due to their post-86 NFA status. The reviewed Gen 1 model features a Defiance suppressor and an older EOTech sight, demonstrating high cyclic rate and controllability.

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.

This video showcases extreme Russian counter-terror confidence drills designed to maintain accuracy under severe duress. Operators are subjected to live fire on body armor and intense cognitive/physical harassment to simulate combat stress. These advanced 'Russia only' drills emphasize target identification and trajectory control under immense pressure.

This video showcases the Browning M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun, featuring Ohio Ordnance Works' Quick Change Barrel (QCB) system which simplifies maintenance. Demonstrations highlight the weapon's power against steel targets, cinder blocks, and a vehicle, contrasting its anti-materiel capabilities with smaller caliber firearms.

This video demonstrates a rigorous stress test on the Mk 12 SPR rifle, simulating real-world operational conditions. Navy SEAL Sniper Monty LeClair executes a challenging course involving physical exertion, varied shooting positions, and engagement of targets under duress. The test highlights the rifle's performance and the critical importance of marksmanship under extreme stress.

This review details a custom 'Alpha AK' build inspired by Russian FSB counter-terrorism units. It highlights the use of a Bulgarian Arsenal AK as the base, modified with a Zenit rail system, a Wilson Raptor light, Krebs Custom safety, and a rare SRVV side-folding stock. The build showcases a blend of Western accessories and Russian tactical influences, emphasizing the difficulty in sourcing authentic Zenit components.
