The Legends M3 Grease Gun takes a classic .45 cal warfighting submachine gun and turns it into an incredibly authentic airgun copy that gives you almost identical look and feel when compared to the original. It's based on the later M3A1 variation and let you shoot at speeds up to 450 fps with a rate of fire of 1025 BBs per minute, so you can experience what these guns are like without having to go through the expense and hassle of trying to find a real steel model.
One of the first things you'll look for if you're an enthusiast is the flip open dust cover and the hole in the bolt that you use to cock it, and both of those features are included on this airgun. That's the main upgrade over the original M3, and it means you don't have to worry about a crank cocking lever.
With this version, you just put your thumb in the hole to cock the bolt, and then either hold the trigger down, or pull it as fast as you want, depending on whether you have it set to full auto or semi auto. Plus, the gun features blowback action, a drop free stick magazine, and a collapsible wire stock to give you a look and feel that's very close to the original version.
This airgun uses two 12 gram CO2 cartridges, and you'll get to shoot about 120 BBs (4 magazines) on fresh cartridges. For sights, the Grease Gun uses a fixed blade front sight and a fixed peep style rear sight.
If you want to find out what it's like to use a gun from history in an affordable full metal CO2 version with the same features as the firearm model, get a Legends M3 Grease Gun at Airgun Depot Now.

Pros
It is just perfect, I like everythingng about it
Cons
none
I like WWII collection. As a collector of military firearms, I purchased this because i cant afford the real thing. I also purchased the MP40 for the same reason. Please make an MP44 / STG44 as that is the holy grail for collectors and would be a must have.
Pros
Feels nice / good quality. Solid and heavy. Looks great. Everyone I have shown it to has been very impressed.
Cons
None
If you want a speed loader, have a friend or print one yourself on a 3D printer, go to Thingiverse and search for Umarex MP-40.
This is NOT my design but it works great. I use a hair streach band to hold it in place while I pour the BB into it.
Pros
All metal, has some weight to it, well made. Fun to shoot.
Cons
Magazine needs a notch at the bottom so the spring follower tab can be locked back so it will be easier to load.
Na
Pros
Looks great
Heavy and feels realistic
Cons
Doesnt seem to have much power even with new co2 cartridges
Quality very good. Even the internal barrel appears to be metal
Pros
Fun! I do place a dime between the two c02 cartridges to assure adequate piercing. Can use one empty cartridge if only want to shoot 1-2 magazines.
Cons
Depending on brand of CO2, may need to use "dime" back to get to pierce cartridge. This is especially true if using one empty cartridge.
Pros
This gun is a Blast. Bought to get rid of the squirrels in the loft. Full Auto is Fantastic.
Cons
Nothing wrong with this gun. Only thing i would change is the mag capacity. Make it hold more as 60 shots on full auto is over in about 3 secs
I am a 75 YO Vietnam veteran. I like the real thing, I've had them, but the BB equivalent sure does fits the bill, and it reasonable to shoot. I also like the airsoft rifles and have quite a few.
Pros
Wow, this is a great product. I have the MP40 also and the M3 is much like it in how it functions. Pay attention to loading the magazine, do it one BB at a time and use good BBs, esp. the Umarex. Believe it or not, they are better than other brands and will save you a lot of time and frustration loading the magazine.
Cons
I don't know, I really like this item. I am 75 YO and still get a kick out of these items. The squirrels will tell you that they don't like them though.
I carried the real deal M3A1 .45 sub through Germany, Korea 1974-78 as an M601A1 and M551 crew member. Loved that crude lil shooter. THIS replica in .177 BBs is the closest Ive found to the real M3A1. Love love love the appearance and operation. You will not be disappointed. Buy with confidence.
Pros
Authentic appearance, authentic weight, authentic operation (single shot capability!).
Cons
No offer of a combo package: extra magazine, sling, and flash hider add-on.
Great gun at and reasonably price, plus fast shipping and great customer service.
Pros
The gun is an exact replica of the ones carried in Vietnam and would fool anyone who looked at it into thinking it was real. Heavy and well made with the look and feel of the original M3.
Cons
I wish the magazine held more BB's because it takes only about 17 seconds at full auto to empty it.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Hello, is the Legends M3 Grease Gun shippable to Canada?? THANKS.
asked Eric from CanadaYes, this is rated below 500fps.
Adam from USADoes the magazine detach? If so can you buy extra magazines and load them?
asked Curtis from USADrop free magazine means it does detach. And with most Umarex Legends replicas spare magazines are available if you look online. I have the Umarex Legends M1A1 and the Umarex Legends MP40 and the Umarex Legends m712 which are all fully auto capable BB guns. And with regular maintenance and having a bit of a touch for running the system I have never had a problem. They are awesome.
Timothy from USAGot my M-3, the gun works fine but the magazine does not feed well at all, tends to jam after one shot. I imagine other users have experienced this problem - any suggestions?
asked Douglas from USAWith these types of magazines, if while firing you hold the gun by the magazine you can interrupt the action of the follower which pushes the BB's up into the chamber. This happens especially after the first one or two shots. Check the front of your magazine where the follower and the spring are. The follower which is the small plastic piece behind the spring may be hung up and if you tap it it will release and continue to send BB's towards the chamber.
Timothy from USAHello, Zabby_do here. Is this "Legends M3 Grease Gun" made in China or Japan? Zab
asked Robert from USAMade in Taiwan
Troy from USADoes the screw on bottom of hand grip come off or unscrew like originals for the oilier. Thanks
asked Terry from USAHow and at what shop can I find the correct sling? (NOTE. I was issued one in Force Recon, USMC)
asked Force Recon-USMC from USAI have found replica slings at Epic militaria.com.Also good ol' Amazon.
Timothy from USASemper Fi from 1st Force Recon
Terry from USAM1 Carbine sling was what was initially issued per my research (along with the same oiler in the handle for this model - unsure if the Umarex allows access - on the side for the earlier model that had the cocking handle). They can be ordered on a ton of places online - run a search like "m1 carbine sling for sale"
Timothy from USAIs this gun are the real gun or just for game
asked John Griffin from Papua New GuineaIt's understandable I peop need to purchase an airgun for "pest control" , rat an the like but, just to shoot people or animals for fun, this gives arguments a bad name. We as airgun enthusiasts and collectors respect our airguns as real weapons. We handle our airguns in the same fashion as a real firearm. These are NOT toys. The can cause serious life threatening injuries to humans as well as animals. If a person wants to shoot as a toy, get "airsoft". However, even those should be handled safely and with respect. To buy an airgun inexperience can hurt yourself and others. No matter the firearm always learn about the gun and safe handling or, "you'll shoot your eye out kid"..
Walter from USARead description and the Specifications...They should always be read before purchase...
Walter from USAYou forgot about the part; ...."and you'll shoot your eye out ! "
DAVID from USAThis is a .177 caliber bb gun, it is used for shooting targets only. Shooting people or animals with this would be cruel, it would hurt small animals severely and cause significant pain, the same goes for people.
Jeffery from USA
Had a co worker bring in a full auto Glock pistol bb gun so much fun I had to buy one made a great choice with this one!!!
Pros
FULL AUTO!!!! Heavier than I thought it was going to be, but a awesome real feel weight of a gun. No ear pro needed ! Very fun toy!!!
Cons
The two co2 cartridges is odd but putting a dime between them works so not a big deal.
