One time in the Guard, I had to expend 2000 rounds of match-grade .45 ammo, so I grabbed a couple of M3A1s from the arms room (we still used them for armored vehicle crewman).

I'm not sure which was cooler: Actually firing them, or just walking around with them all weekend at the base.

I have a favorable opinion of the grease gun. It's compact, handy and I don't remember having any stoppages. Mechanically, it's simple, safe and sturdy. I would definitely like to carry one, but only because it looks so cool.

It has a perceptable locktime, so that you pull the trigger and wait for the bolt to "ker-thump" forward. Firing was controlable, and it was fun to blast away: "K-chunk, K-chunk, K-chunk...".

For a "Dirty Dozen" kind of mission, kicking in doors and spraying rooms, I think it's great. More of a PDW than a real offensive weapon.
