Cleon's weapon in 'Nam


I've been trying to find out what weapon Cleon uses in the Vietnam scenes, it's a foreign submachine gun, its not the 'swedish k' that I know since I've been using them. It annoys me like hell not to place that weapons name and origin. Can someone help me out here ?

It's an M3A1 Grease Gun, a .45 ACP submachine gun that was in limited use in 'Nam. It was used much more frequently in WWII and Korea.

Thanks alot för the information, i think it's a good detail by the director to let Cleon use a more rare weapon than for example the '16.

Cheers!


btw. great link!

In the early 80's when I was in the Army and deployed in Germany alongside combat troops I would often, and only, see tankers (tank crew members) with grease guns.
