The M3A1 modifications resulted in a more reliable, lighter weight, easier to maintain, and easier to field strip submachine gun; the original M3 needed both the trigger guard removed and the cocking crank assembly detached from the receiver housing before unscrewing the barrel, but the M3A1 only required the user unscrew the barrel.
The Pistola Ametralladora, often shortened as the PAM submachine gun, is a series of two Argentine submachine guns (the PAM-1 and PAM-2) that were licensed variants of the American M3A1 'Grease Gun'. The main difference between the PAM series and the M3A1 was that the PAM was chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum instead of the M3's .45 ACP. [1]

The Thompson was super expensive and the grease gun was super cheap. The grease gun's slow rate of fire compensated for its low weight and design, making it very controllable(it also probably ate up less ammo than the Thompson).(side note: it actually was supposed to replace the M2 hyde, but the hyde was never in service.)
