About

blowback-operated, magazine-fed, automatic shoulder-fired weapons (fig 1 thru 4). They are light, compact, and rugged. The stock is one piece of formed steel rod which can be telescoped for ease of handling; its ends are drilled and tapped so that it can be used as a cleaning rod. The stock may also be used as a disassembly tool or wrench. The stock of the M3A1 has a hand loader that is used to load the magazine. b. Magazine. The magazine (fig 1 thru 4) holds 30 cartridges. The upper cartridge is stripped from the magazine and chambered by the forward movement of the bolt. When the last cartridge from the magazine has been fired, the bolt closes on the empty chamber. c. Rate of Fire. The automatic rate of fire is limited only by the firers ability to change magazines rapidly, aim and fire.
