	Submachine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A submachine gun is a firearm that combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the ammunition of a pistol, and is usually between the two in weight and size.
		Submachine guns lend themselves to moderation with suppressors, particularly so in cases where the weapon is loaded with subsonic ammunition.
		Prominent recent examples of the submachine gun are the Israel Military Industries Uzi submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch MP5 series, the Ingram MAC-10, the Skorpion, the Sterling and the FN P90 (itself part of a new generation of 'personal defence weapons', firing cartridges intermediate in power between a pistol and assault rifle round).

	M3 Grease Gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M3 "Grease Gun" (more formally United States Submachine Gun, Cal..45, M3/M3A1) was a submachine gun developed by the United States during World War II as a cheaper substitute for the Thompson.
		It was nicknamed the Grease Gun because of its resemblance to an automotive grease gun.
		When the M3 was adopted as a standard weapon, the Thompson was categorized as a "Limited Standard" or "Substitute Standard" submachine gun.

	Swedish K/Carl Gustav M45 Submachine Gun
		The Swedish K submachine gun is a good design, however, its fame in this country is almost entirely due to it being highlighted as a "weapon of choice for SEALS in Vietnam" back in the late 1960's.
		The gun is compact, has a rigid, useable folding stock, and is blessed with an easy-to-load double row magazine which does not need a loader, the cartridges being pressed straight down into the body.
		The original gun has a sheet steel receiver formed into a round upper section for the bolt to ride in, and the same piece is formed into a flat rectangular section where the lower frame parts and mechanism are riveted into position.

	M3 .45 Caliber Submachine Gun
		Both submachine guns are fed a magazine which has a capacity of 30 rounds.
		Note that in the submachine gun, the chamber pressure is relatively low and the bolt is relatively heavy; this eliminates the need for the steps of locking and unlocking.
		If the gun is accidentally dropped, the bolt may be jarred far enough to the rear to clear the top cartridge in the magazine, but not far enough for the sear nose to engage in the sear notch.

	MP40 Submachine Gun
		Of all infantry weapons conceived during the 20th century, few were as important as the submachine gun, a weapon designed specifically for close-quarter combat.
		The MP40 Submachine Gun is the first illustrated book to describe in detail what was arguably the best such weapon used in World War II — the German MP40 submachine gun.
		It follows the path of its development from the first SMG designs of World War I through the refinements of later post-war models used by several nations, and its direct predecessor, the MP38, culminating in the robust, mass-produced weapon that was used by the German armies — and their enemies — on all fronts.

		The M3A1 followed the same general pattern as the M3 but with one quite substantial change introduced as a result of combat experience: the ejection port was enlarged and exposed the full travel of the breech block.
		The complicated cocking mechanism of the M3 was simplified, replacing the cocking handle by a finger-hole in the breech block, into which the firer's finger was placed to draw the bolt to the rear, thereby cocking the weapon.
