Game kiddies should not be posting on gun boards.

When I was a kid I would hear bullshit like that all the time, usually at GUN SHOWS hahahaha.

But lots of them aren't just OLD Walter Mittys . I remember REAL veterans who bought into the urban myths on the battlefield. My own father was a decorated WW2 vet. He was a B.A.R. gunner, but he bought into the myth that the M3A1 grease gun had no rifling, had a smooth bore barrel and that's why it was called the "Grease gun" (he was never issued the M3A1, so he only heard this "urban legend" through other G.I.s. He did train on the Thompson). Anyway, it seems ironic that I am arguing with my father, who was a decorated World War 2 veteran (since passed away) about the M3A1 grease gun. It almost seemed disrespectful, if it were not for the fact that I was right and he was wrong.
