Same build, same looks. Same functions
Just different numbers

No friend, there’s a big difference between a Grease Gun (m3) and a Schmeisser (mp40):OuchProgramme wrote:Yes i knowammosmoke wrote:EDIT: Oh, and btw the mp40 wasn't the grease gun. The mp40 was a german gun. The m3 was the grease gun, and american gun.

Yeah, I know that Schmeisser was just a nickname, as was Grease Gun.THUNDERLORD wrote: @ The Judge, you may be aware of this but "Schmeisser" was just a nickname for the mp40.
That's because when the americans picked them up they didn't know the proper name and the magazines were made and stamped "Schmeisser"
But I believe the actual SMG's were made by another company.
The nickname "Schmeisser" stuck though.
They were also considered one of the highest quality SMG's supposedly much better than a British Sten SMG or American "Grease Gun", which were just banged out.
