Table of Contents

In January 1943, when the "U.S. Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3" was officially adopted, it was a step into the future of weapons-manufacturing technology. In absolute contrast to the milled, high-quality Thompson models, the M3 was almost completely made from sheet metal. Many soldiers mockingly called it "Grease Gun" owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic's tool, but it soon gained a fighting reputation. The Grease Gun saw action not only in World War II, but also in Korea, Vietnam, and various other conflicts around the globe. China and Argentina made copies for their armies, and US surplus can still be found in foreign service today. This book tells the complete story of this remarkable weapon, from development and manufacturing, to combat. Included are descriptions of accessories, ammunition, and experimental models. The reader will find many hitherto unknown details, background information, and numerous photos.

Best Wine Opener ever
I hoped I made a wise choice to buy this wine opener and boy did I make the right choice. I have had 2 other electric openers and this is by far the best. You place it on the bottle and press the button once. You hold the bottle and opener and the opener does its job, you don't need to hold the button down. Once it pulls the cork turn it up side down and place it on the counter. It automatically stops and then automatically reverses and ejects the cork. You dinner guests will love watching it. Great opener!!!!!!

Excellent Buy!
I love this little beauty! Works like a charm, and is slightly smaller than its competitors, so it’s easier for packing and portability. I’m a flight attendant, so I actually use this on the plane to open bottles in premium class. It’s sharp looking too…and the attached foil cutter is well designed.
