In October 1942, George Hyde faced an impossible challenge: design a submachine gun that performed like the Thompson but cost 90% less. From the GM Inland Division in Dayton, Ohio, to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Hyde’s radical T20 prototype—the future M3 “Grease Gun”—redefined American small arms. Discover the story of innovation, battlefield triumph, and the ugly gun that saved lives in WWII, Korea, and beyond.
In this video, we explore:
How the Thompson submachine gun became too expensive for mass production
George Hyde’s revolutionary engineering approach
The T15 and T20 prototypes leading to the M3 Grease Gun
Manufacturing innovations at GM’s Guide Lamp Division
The M3’s battlefield performance in Italy, the Pacific, and the Battle of the Bulge
How the “ugly” gun became more reliable than any other U.S. submachine gun
Watch as history proves: beauty doesn’t save lives—function does.
