Unlock the loaded weapon only when i t i s ra ised for f i r ing . When f i r ing long bursts , the weapon hasa tendency to move up and to the right. The firer can control this tendency by always taking a correctf i r ing pos i t ion .

D A N G E R O U S C O N D I T l O N S

Before firing, the firer must be sure that the bore of the submachine gun is free from any obstruction

in the bore that will result in damage to the weapon and possible injury to personnel.

Clear the weapon of all ammunition before starting the inspection. Remove the magazine and check thechamber to insure it is empty. Do not actuate the trigger until the weapon has been cleared.

D A N G E R O U S S O L U T I O N S

Avoid skin contact with P-C–111. The compound should be washed o f f thoroughly with running water

if it comes in contact with the skin. A good lanolin base cream, after exposure to the compound, is help-ful. The use of rubber gloves and protective equipment is recommended.

Section II. DESCRIPTION AND DATA

1-4. General

The Submachine Guns, M3 (fig. l-l) and M3A1(fig. 1-2) are aircooled, blowback-operated, mag-azine-fed, automatic shoulder weapons. They arelight, compact and rugged. The stock is one pieceof formed steel rod which can be telescoped forease of handling and the ends are drilled andtapped for usage as a cleaning rod. The stockcan also be used as a disassembly tool or wrenchand is made so it can be utilized to load the mag-azine. There is no provision for semi-automaticfire, however, because of the low cyclic rate offire the operator can fire single shots throughtrigger manipulation. Both submachine guns arefed fed a magazine which has a capacity of 30rounds. For convenience of maintenance, theweapons are divided into groups and assemblieswhich consist of magazine, barrel, gun stock ex-tension. bolt and guide rod group, trigger hous-ing group, trigger and sear group, and receiverassembly.

1-5. Difference Between ModelsThe Submachine Gun M3A1 is basically the sameas the Submachine Gun M3; however, the differ-ence in the two models is specified in a through cbelow:

a. The housing assembly M3A1 (fig. 1-3) hasbeen changed in design to eliminate the retractinghandle, spring, lever assembly, and oiler clip. Itcontains the ejector, which is secured to the hous-ing by two rivets.

b. The bolts for the M3 and M3A1 vary in de-sign as shown in figure 1-4. The M3A1 bolt con-tains a circular cut which permits the cocking ofthe weapon by retracting the bolt with the finger.It also contains an ejector groove extending thelength of the bolt. This permits the removal ofthe bolt and guide rod group without necessitat-ing the removal of the trigger guard and hous-ing assembly from the weapon. The retractinglever pawl notch has been eliminated and a cover-hinge-rivet clearance slot has been added.

c. The receiver assembly M3A1 is designed toincorporate the oiler in the stock. The coverhinge is riveted and now is part of the receiverbody.

Section II. OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

2-2. General

Care and cleaning of the submachine gun in-cludes daily preventive maintenance, which is theordinary care of the weapon to preserve its condi-tion and appearance when no firing is done. Be-fore firing cleaning insures that the weapon issafe to fire and is properly lubricated for effi-cient operation and after firing maintenance in-sures that all corrosion–inducing agents are com-pletely removed. For cleaning procedures refer toparagraph 3-12. For lubrication procedures referto paragraphs 3-6 and 3-7.

2-3. Loading, Firing and Unloading

a. Loading Magazine. Use the stock extensionas a hand loader. Place the butt of stock on topof the magazine, then place the base of the maga-zine on a firm surface. Push down on the stockextension to depress the magazine follower, In-sert a cartridge, base first, into the magazine.Lift the stock extension and push the cartridgeall the way into the magazine. Push down on the

2-2

stock extension, depressing the cartridge andmagazine follower (fig. 2-3 ). Repeat the opera-tion until the magazine is full.

b. Loading Submachine Gun.

Warning. Care must be exercised to eitherhave the submachine gun raised or pointed downrange when loading.

To load the submachine gun, pull the bolt sharp-ly to the rear (cock), close the cover (lock), jn-sert the magazine, and push it upward until themagazine catch clicks into the magazine notch(load).

c. Firing.

Warning. The firer must be sure that the boreof the submachine gun is free from any obstruc-tion in the bare that will result in damage to theweapon and possible injury to personnel.

To fire the weapon, raise the cover and pull thetrigger. The weapon has no mechanism for semi-automatic fire. However, it is possible to fire sin-

TM 9-1005-229-12

Figure 2-3. Loading magazine.

gle shots by proper functioning of the trigger,pressing it and then quickly releasing it. It takespractice far a firer to become proficient at firingsingle shots. When the magazine has been emp-tied, the bolt will close on the empty chamber.Cock the weapon and close the cover, before in-serting another loaded magazine.

Warning. Always keep the cover closed as itlocks the bolt either forward or backward andfunctions as a safety. The submachine gun hasno mechanical means of locking the trigger. Theinsertion of a loaded magazine loads the gun.If the cover is open and the bolt cocked, pres-sure on the trigger will fire the gun. If an un-locked gun is dropped, it may fire whether the

bolt is cocked or not. When firing long bursts,the weapon has a tendency to move up and tothe right. The firer can control this tendencyby always taking a correct firing position.

d. Unloading. Remove the magazine, and raisethe cover. If the bolt is forward, pull it to therear. Inspect the chamber (look and feel). Pressthe trigger and allow the bolt to go forward, thenclose the cover. At this time the weapon is clear.

2-4. Firing Malfunctions and Stoppages

a. Malfunctions. A malfunction is a failure ofthe weapon to function properly. Malfunctionsare classified as defects in the weapon that nor-mally do not cause a break in the cycle of opera-tion.

(1) Sluggish operation of the weapon is us-ually due to excessive friction caused by dirt, lackof proper lubrication, burred or bent guide rods,or a dent in the receiver. See table 3-3, trouble-shooting.

(2) Uncontrolled automatic fire (runawaygun) is fire that continues after the trigger hasbeen released. This may be caused by the follow-ing:

(a) A worn sear nose(b) A worn sear notch on the bolt(c) A weak or broken trigger spring

b. Stoppage. A stoppage is an unintentionalinterruption in the cycle of operation. A stop-page occurs when the submachine gun does notfire when the trigger is squeezed through nofault of the firer. Periodic inspection and propercare and cleaning will reduce the possibility ofthe submachine gun having a stoppage.

c. Immediate Action in Case of Failure to Fire.

(1) AS the first step in reducing a stoppage,remove the magazine, retract the bolt, and inspectthe chamber to insure that it does not contain alive cartridge or any other obstruction, If there isno obstruction, close the cover, replace the maga-zine, open the cover, and attempt to fire. If weap-on still does not fire, check to see whether a livecartridge has chambered; if it has not, remove themagazine and insert a new magazine.

(2) If there is a live cartridge or other ob-struction lodged in the chamber, cock the weaponand hold the cover down firmly; remove the bar-rel; then clear the chamber by using the stock topush the obstruction out of the barrel.

Note. Under combat conditions, when time is short.omit the step of removing the barrel.

Section III. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS

2-5. General

In addition to the normal operation of the subma-chine gun, special care in cleaning and lubricationmust be observed where extremes of temperature,humidity, and atmospheric conditions exist or areanticipated, Proper cleaning, lubrication, storageand handling of lubricants not only insure opera-tion of the weapon, but also guard against wearof the working parts and deterioration of the ma-teriel.

2-6 Operation in Extreme Cold

Note. Use general purpoue lubricating oil (PL special)to lubricate all component of the weapon when temper-ature is expected to vary down to -30°F temporarily.When temperature is expected to remain at O°F to 46°Fweapon will be lubricated with weapons lubricating oil(LAW) after cleaning.

a. It is necessary that the moving park of theweapon be kept absolutely free from moisture.Excessive oil on the working parts will solidifyand cause sluggish operation or complete failure,

(1) Before firing in temperatures below 0°Fahrenheit, disassemble the weapon and clean allparts thoroughly. Oil parts lightly by rubbingwith a cloth dipped in weapons lubricating oil(LAW). Keep the bore and chamber free of oil.

(2) When the weapon is brought indoors, al-low it to come to room temperature; then disas-semble it, wipe it completely dry of any moisture,

clean and oil lightly with weapons lubricating oil(LAW).

(3) If the submachine gun has been fired,the bore should be immediately swabbed out withan oily patch, When the weapon reaches roomtemperature, clean and oil as prescribed in para-graphs 3–6, 3-7 and 3-12.

2-7. Operation in Extreme Heata. In tropical climates where temperature and

humidity are high or where salt air is present, andduring rainy seasons, thoroughly inspect theweapon daily and keep lightly oiled when not inuse. Remove the groups at regular intervals and,if necessary, disassemble them for cleaning, dry-ing and oiling. Be careful to see that all unex-posed parts, as well as exposed surfaces, are keptclean and oiled with general purpose lubricatingoil (PL special).

b. In hot, dry climates, where sand and dust arelikely to get into the trigger housing, receiver,and bore, the weapon should be wiped cleandaily, or more often if necessary. Groups shouldbe disassembled to insure thorough cleaning. Im-mediately after use in sandy terrain, the weaponshould be cleaned and lubricated with PL special.Lubricants should be wiped from exposed andnoncritical operating surfaces. This will preventsand or dust from sticking to the lubricants andforming an abrasive which can damage the mov-ing parts.

Section I. INTRODUCTION

B-1. GeneralThe maintenance allocation chart indicates speci-fic maintenance operations performed at theproper maintenance levels. Deviation from main-tenance operations allocated in the chart is au-thorized only upon approval of the commandingofficer.

B-2. Maintenance FunctionsThe maintenance allocation chart designates over-all responsibility far the maintenance function onan end item or assembly. Maintenance functionswill be limited to and defined as follows:

a. Inspect. To determine serviceability of anitem by comparing its physical, mechanical, andelectrical characteristics with established stand-ards.

b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detectelectrical or mechanical failure by use of testequipment.

c. Service. To clean, to preserve, to charge andto add fuel, lubricants, cooling agents, and air.

d. Adjust. To rectify to the extent necessary tobring into proper operating range.

e. Align. To adjust specified variable elementsof an item to bring to optimum performance.

f. Calibrate. To determine the corrections tobe made in the readings of instruments or testequipment used in precise measurement. Consistsof the comparison of two instruments, one ofwhich is a certified standard of known accuracy,to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accur-acy of the instrument being compared with thecertified standard.

g.Install. To set up for use in an operationalenvironment such as an emplacement, site, orvehicle.

h. Replace. To replace unserviceable itemswith serviceable like items.

i. Repair. Those maintenance operations nec-essary to restore an item to serviceable condition

through correction of material damage or a speci-fic failure. Repair may be accomplished at eachcategory of maintenance.

j. Overhaul. Normally, the highest degree ofmaintenance performed by the Army in order tominimize time work in process is consistent withquality and economy of operation. It consists ofthat maintenance necessary to restore an item tocompletely serviceable condition as prescribed bymaintenance standards in technical publicationsfor each item of equipment. Overhaul normallydoes not return an item to like new, zero mileage,or zero hour condition.

k. Rebuild. The highest degree of materielmaintenance. It consists of restoring equipmentas nearly as possible to new condition in accord-ance with original manufacturing standards. Re-build is performed only when required by opera-tional considerations or other paramount factorsand then only at the depot maintenance category.Rebuild reduces to zero the hours or miles theequipment, or component there of, has been inuse.

Recoverability Aspect

Applied to repair park (assemblies and com-ponents), special tools and test equipmentwhich are considered economically repair-able at Direct end General support mainte-nance levels. When the item is no longer eco-nomically repairable, it is normally disposedof at GS level. When supply considerationsdictate, some of these repair parts may belisted for automatic return to supply forDepot level repair as set forth in AR 710-50.When so listed, they will be replaced by sup-ply on an exchange basis.

Repair parts and assemblies which are econo-mically repairable at DSU and GSU activi-ties and normally are furnished by supply onan exchange basis. When items are deter-mined by a GSU to be uneconomically repai-rable, they will be evacuated at a depot forevaluation and analysis before final disposi-tion.

High dollar value recoverable repair partswhich are subject to special handling and areissued on an exchange basis. Such repairparts are normally repaired or overhauledat Depot maintenance activities.

Repair parts specifically selected for salvageby reclamation units because of preciousmetal content, critical materials, high dollarvalue reusable casings, or castings.

This fine document...

Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it. Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it... They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not letting you give those free manuals to your friends?

I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share, republish, sell and so on.

I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in search engines:
