M3 Grease gun, built as a replacment for the Thompson M1A1 the .45 caliber M3 was far easier to manufacture than the Thompson, and has a number of excellent design features in addition. The low cyclical rate of fire made the gun easier to control than most submachine guns. The weapon's straight line of recoil also adds substantially in controlling the gun in automatic fire. The gun's loose tolerances allow for reliable operation even if very dirty and this made it more reliable than the Thompson under adverse conditions. Deactivated with a working action it can be cocked and dry fired.
This deactivated Silenced M3 Grease gun is incredibly rare. As the .45 bullet travels at subsonic speed (less than 1000 fps) and does not produce an audible "crack" the M3 has an advantage over silenced 9mm submachine guns that travel at around 1250 fps.
Due to the type of silencer, this weapon is believed to have been used by the CIA.
