Heidler. When introduced in January 1943, made almost entirely from sheet metal, soldiers gave the M3 the mocking nickname "Grease Gun" because of its resemblance to the mechanic's tool. The nickname stuck, but the reputation grew to appreciation for its dependability. The M3 saw action not only in WWII, but also in Korea and Vietnam, and was copied by foreign militaries. This title gives the story of this weapon, from development to combat, including descriptions of ammo, accessories, and experimental models. 224 pages, 551 color and B&W photos, 8½"x 11", hardcover.
