Nice to see the gun ban working out so well in the UK...the only people who can get them now are criminals and children.

Looks like a WW2 era 'grease gun'.
Any of my armorer friends identify this?

Holy Moley! That's an M-3 "Grease Gun." WWII vintage, .45 cal issued to airborne troops.It truly is a submachinegun.

It looks like it’d jam after 2 shots-—like that thug gun the Tek-9

It looks like a WWII vintage sub-gun (a Sterling perhaps). They were made out of inexpensive stamped metal parts and cheaply finished. They worked however, effectively and reliably.

Leave it to a Freeper to be able to ID any firearm on sight. LOL

I would imagine that her father or grandfather probably served in World War II and brought that home with him as a souvenir.
I know that when I was a kid, maybe seven or eight, my uncle brought me a pineapple grenade as a souvenir. The explosives and the detonator had been removed, but otherwise it was real enough.
Big deal. The whole country is going to the dogs, Muslim gangs are running amok, burglars are getting suspended sentences, and these jerks have nothing better to do than to use hydraulic rams to break down the door and arrest a 13 year old for having an old family souvenir in her closet.

I was incorrect in suggesting it was a Sterling (a British weapon). Another FReeper properly identified it as a WWII US made M3.

Depends on the condition of the magazine. But if the magazine is in good shape, I would bet not. You’ve never seen a sturdier or simpler weapon than the M-3 grease gun.
