Seen a discovery channel show about american weapons of WW2. Where the tompson was of machined and fabricated parts and cost about 1200 U.S. per copy, the stamped and welded Greasegun cost about 15 U.S. per copy

We Stand Alone

Thats the M3A1, it wasnt used in WWII. IF, and thats a big if, it was, it would have been used in the closing stages of the pacific or occupational duties in Europe. The M3A1 (has a handle to operate the bolt intstead of using your finger)was used, most games that have Grease Guns in them have the wrong kind

lcarp...the Thompson didnt cost 1200 dollars to make in WWII

Good find on the M3/A1 difference, I wouldn't have noticed it, but I do have a remark

the M3A1 started production in december '44 so it could have been used 5 months.
But when I read this I wondered why they put it in the game
