GET THAT FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER

;) Just kidding, great post, I wasn't able to go to any of the defense days this year :( But I'll be doing it for real from 5th of July onwards so I guess I came out ahead anyway ;)

Oh and that WW2 gun is a M3 or M3A1 "Greasegun", a sub-machine gun type of weapon

Operation: Automatic
Caliber: .45 ACP
Capacity: 30 round box magazine
Weight: 9.9 lbs
As the Thomson was getting too expensive to produce, a new submachinegun was formally adopted on December 24, 1942, as the ‘Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, M3.’ After several revisions, the M3A1 was born. Its crude look gave it the nickname ‘Greasegun.’
