The 3-inch anti-aircraft gun M3 was an American anti-aircraft gun which served throughout the 1930s and into early World War II.

M3 VTS: Armoured ambulance variant reconfigured to carry four stretchers in the troop compartment. [3] It has an unusually large one-piece rear door rather than the smaller twin rear doors on the VTT.

The M3 is an American .45-caliber submachine gun adopted by the U.S. Army on 12 December 1942, as the United States Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M3. [12] The M3 was chambered for the same .45 ACP round fired by the Thompson submachine gun , but was cheaper to mass produce and lighter, at the expense of accuracy. [ 12 ]
