BAR or M3 grease-gun?

[Wer525]

Hi,

as title says which weapon is better and when? In early game which one should be taken first?

Well the m3 is Like a Bit Weaker gun of the thompson, it's good in close Quarter fights. Or just at close range. the bar is more likely Medium range weapon however you get the Pin down ability but it is Not that good i Would rather you to use the m3.

Thanks, so it is true that the suppression ability is not that good.

I think suppression is a great ability. I use it pretty often, especially mid/late game to tie down the elite axis soldiers. I really do use it a lot, but it usually takes at least 2 bars to work fast enough to be worth doing. If you get the lieutenant call in riflemen you get two free bars plus an extra rifleman for just 60mp more. Now you have a 45 mu ability that can tie down elite inf and then close in with thompsons without having as much risk losing your assault squad to mp44s.
Tbh I never really get the grease guns except for really situational moments.
