As the Thomson was getting too expensive to produce, a new submachinegun was formally adopted on December 24, 1942, as the ‘Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3.’ After several revisions, the M3A1 was born. Its crude look gave it the nickname ‘Greasegun.’

Game Tips: The M3A1 Greasegun is nearly identical to the Thompson, the main difference being the Greasegun’s slower rate of fire. The Greasegun is very useful in the prone firing position – its accuracy will allow an easy headshot.
