I fired one of these. My impression was that it was possible to hit the broad side of a barn ... if fired from the inside.

It is one of those tools that met a need.

Can be fabricated at any well equipped machine shop, yes?

I remember when you could buy one of these demilled through the mail. A few minutes with a file to remove the weld and you were ready to rock and roll!

An old tanker told me his unit was issued Grease Guns during the first Gulf War. Don’t know if that was widespread or is he was just lucky.

At least it wasn't the British Sten gun, which made the M3 "Grease Gun" look like a finely-made piece of machinery in comparison.

I carried one for a week or two while I was in Vietnam. Looked great and was simple to clean - but I realized very quickly that it was completely ineffective past maybe 50 meters and with a loaded magazine weighed exactly the same as my loaded M-14.
Since my M-14 was much more effective at all ranges, I ditched my M3A1.

I remember one of the Call of Duty games this thing was just no contest hands down the best indoor/alley gun in the game.
Couple that with best sniper weapon in the same game, MosinNagant, you had the possibility of running the table on any map.

This was still standard issue when I was in. You couldn't qualify on it because it wasn't accurate enough to hit targets that could be counted. It was sure fun to shoot, though.
If it ever got down to bad guys within 75 feet I would have used my 1911 because I could hit a target with that.

Carried one of these in the field for awhile.
One word: Boat Anchor. (well, maybe two words)
The little thing by itself wasn’t heavy but steel magazines full of .45 ACP made for a load.
Utterly reliable and a great brush chopper.

My sister's boyfriend had one in the early 70's. Will not say if legal or not as I never asked. I was a senior in high school.
We shot it a lot on our ranch. Ammo back then was cheap. As the vid showed the gun was very easy to shoot and accurate.
That's not the only gun we shot up there.

My dad used one of these in Korea. Apparently it was assigned to his tank. He said they called it a “burp gun” sometimes.

The M-60s had these. I loved 'em.
Shot one with a curved barrel. You wont have anywhere near this much fun with out shooting a Tommy gun.

It sounds like WWII. Masculine, no frills, get the job done right with more to spare.
