Background & Other Details:
An WWII era weapon that was chambered in both 9mm and .45 ACP, used by the American Military. Commonly called the 'Grease Gun' or the 'Greaser' due to its similar appearance to the tool of the same name, it is a relic of the past that is a rare sight Stateside, save perhaps a private collection or a museum. However, it is a very common weapon in the hands of the guerillas of the Islas del Tortuga. The ones found around there are chambered for 9x19mm, and were 'generous' handouts from the United States which were then reverse engineered and produced for it simplistic design and low cost of production in the islands. Some are milled...erm, 'mediocrely' while others are well produced and far more elegant to fire. Some are equipped with integrated silencers and are spray painted to reflect the jungle terrain of the islands.
