The Cal. .45 M-3
Issued by the U. Fucking S. Army 1942.
My Dad, and Uncles got the attention of Nazis with this.
If the shit hits the fan it may be of use again.
Simpler than an AK-47.
Which Child Soldiers everywhere use.
It's what we engineers call a "set, and forget".
Just pull the damned trigger, and it does the rest.
I've read from a guy who seems to have a lot of engineering knowledge - roughnecks in the oil industry - that with a good lathe and some metal stock you can make your own firearms. That, a drill press, a sheet metal break (bends sheet metal) and some basic tools will let a good machinist make just about any damn thing. you can be your own gunsmith.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to learn to use all those things and build some really weird stuff.

The M-3 was, and is exactly that.
ReplyDeleteMass produced for the Allies.
Very popular with the assorted anti-Axis undergrounds.
Any kid that took shop could maintain repair or improve on it.
My kind of hardware.
