Please clearify?That is foolish thinking. The 5.56 and 5.45 are both better than the 7.62x39.
Better at distance-range, terminal ballistics FMJ only, lower recoil?

Hey that FAL/SKS looks cool how about some more info, is it Photoshop or real taleented gunsmith shop. I've alway's loved FAL's and SKS's. Everybody wants to know about AK in NAM but there was 10 times as many SKS's and some looked like they'd gone through hell and still functioned and fired flawlessly.
If you built that I tip my hat, you're good.
J Lazy H Welcome to THR!I carried a model 37 Ithica with an 18 tube. I also was a Tunnel Rat so it made more sense.
But the AR can be superior if you master the system
Gordon,
With all due respect, you said, "Give the old guy a break ! He meant M3 grease gun, or M3A1 grease gun.".
How do you know what he meant? And, I'm an old guy asking an old guy a question.
No slack!
Could be that the M3 grease gun was there and the M3 with the flash hider also. They were called an M9 because of the hider instead of saying "I'll take the M3 with the flash hider" they may have said "hand me the M9"The M3 and M3A1 submachine guns are air-cooled, blowback-operated, magazine-fed, automatic shoulder weapons. They are light, compact and rugged. The stock is one piece of formed steel rod which can be telescoped for ease of handling and the ends are drilled and tapped for usage as a cleaning rod. The stock can also be used as a disassembly tool or wrench and is made so it can be utilized to load the magazine.
There is no provision for semi-automatic fire, however, because of the low cyclic rate of fire the operator can fire single shots through trigger manipulation.
Both submachine guns are fed a magazine which has a capacity of 30 rounds.
For convenience of maintenance, the weapons are divided into groups and assemblies which consist of magazine, barrel, gun stock extension. bolt and guide rod group, trigger housing group, trigger and sear group, and receiver assembly.
Following World War II, a curved barrel was made for use with the M3A1. The M9 flash hider was developed for use with both the M3 and M3A1.
Replaced by the M4 Carbine and MP5 submachine gun in U.S. service.
Shadow man , It's like if you master the M1A2 tank AND you master series 90 Russian tank.Ya get firm ware upgrades with the M1a2 !
