mit a new catalogue of materiel for all the supplies and equip-
ment which will be required by 0.5.5. in the next quarter,
and that the requirement for Sten guns and ammunition will be

for 9-mm ammunition. It was taken for -,ranted in this re-
cuest that these guns would be as good as or superior to the
Sten gun.

by 0.5.5. of 14,200 Marlin submachine
9-mm caliber, and in addition to a, rove the
0.S.S. requirement of 250,000 rounds of 9-mm

paper stating in effect the background con-
cerning the production of the M-2 gun and
ammunition therefor which had been given
by COLONEL STUDLER; and recommending that
since the United States must operate in
both the Far Eastern and the European
theaters it should produce an all-metal

respectively.

EXCERPT FROM
JP% SUBCOMMITTEE
MINUT2ki
August 191 1942
COIMIELi STUDLER exhibited two models of the M-2
Submachine Gun, 45 cal., which has bison developed *I 44 al-
ternate for the Thompson Submachine Gun (M4). Discussion
of the possibility of uming thisgun in place of the Stem
Gun brought out the following information:
1, The U. S. program for prodlotion cr
machine guns is for one hundred thousand M-1,8
(Thompson) and ten thousand M.208 per month.
2. The M-2 is superior to the Stem Gun in
construction and use.
3. Although the 11-2 will not break down in-
to as small a package an the Sten Gun, it can be
broken into two parts capable of being packed in-
to containers to be dropped from planes.
4. The original contract price for the 11-2
gun is thirty-acven dollars and twelve cents and
the British cost for the Stan Gun, on the basis
of a production of two miltion, is about twenty-
four dollars and would be greater in the United
Statos.
5. The O. S. S. eetimates that it will need
one hundred thousand submaehine guns in the next
ninety days.
6. The Marlin-Rockwell plant which will pro-
duce the M-2 is tooled for 9 ram. guns and has pro-
duced about fifteen thousand for the DUTCH.
7. A pilot model of the M-2 submachine gun
(11-2 converted to fire 9 mm. ammunition) could be
obtained in about two weeks after approval of the
project und the factory could be retoiled to pro-
duce U-3'8 inntead of M-2's in about six weeks.
8. Preaent production, both U. S. and Can-
adian, of 9 mm. ammunition is twenty million rounds
per month which will increase in the near future
to thirty-fivo million rounds per month.
9. Additional capacity for production of 9 mm.
ammunition can only bo obtained by releasing the

mment capacit4 for 46 calibre ammunition in, ich
there is presently extrg oipacty. There will be
little difficult' in roUnd for production of
qr 9 am. ammunition.
10. There would be little difference in oost
in 9 MO6 ammunition and 0 oali6re ammunition.
COLONEL DONOVAN pointod out that ono inportant too-
tor to be considered is the estimatied length of tbe War.
If it is to be a long war the quglity of the submachine pus
should be reasonably high, and this condition is better met
by the M-2 than by the Oten Gun.
He stressed another basic factor is the desirabil-
ity of not being wholly dependent on the British on production
of a 9 mm. submachine gun for use in German ocovpied terri-
tories, which applies to production of ammunition as well.
LT. OM. BLAKENEY raised the question of whether
the output of ten thousand M-213 per month has been allo-
cated to a definite use. If not, the present production
could be switched to M-3 '8 and be regarded as a 3ubstitute
requirement rather than as a supplemental requirement.
CAPTAIN GROSSIOPF recommended that present pro-
cedure should be.
1. To determine whether the present produc-
tion of M-2's is already allocated and for what
purpose and area.
2. If the allocation is for Europe the 11-2's
should be converted to 9 mm. calibre.
3. If the allocation is for areas where the
enemy is not using 9 ma. ammunition and whore the
U. S. is proposing to enter, the M-2' hould not
be converted from 45
COLONEL STUDLER Stated that conditions seemed to
be such that it would be desirable to develop a cheap all
metal submachine gun of 45 calibre and aIao of 9 mL. cal-
ibre and store them for use in either theater.
COLONEL DONOVAN proposed to moot the immediate
need of the 0.5.3. by borrowing ono hundred thousand Sten
Guns from the British, on a replaceable basin, and go into
the immediato produotion of M-2's converted to 9 as. calibre.

To: ' Colonel Donovan ,
rim Colonel Goodfellow
Yesterday I went to the Ordnance Departmert and
talked with Colonel Studler. They think very well of the
Sten Gun. He said if we needed 100,000 in 90 days he could
,show us how we could get 100,000 in that period of time.
They showed me all the new guns they had, includ-
ing a new gun whidt simulated the technique on the Sten gun
made of all metal. There are two hitches to it so far as
S. O. ana guerilla activities are concerned - you can't
break the gun down and package it into the containers which
fit the bomb racks in the plane.
They should 45 ammunition and we can't get that
there. The Sten guns will shoot ammunition which they can
steal from the enemy if they run out.
I saw a new carbine which weighs less than 6 pounds.
Sten guns weigh about 7 pounds. The carbine is the kind of
thing every boy would love - it's light; shoots 30 calibre.
It is too long to package - one piece with a wood stock.

Colonel Studlersaid they wei4,getting in produc-
tion on the carbine, and I as gaing to I*, in for 2,500
right away, since there will be a fight' on priority.
The carbine should be the fixed weapon of guer-
illa units, the Sten should be !wed behind the lines.
I talked with two of the fellows who had given
us bids on the gun, - we have three bids so far, and they
are a4 substantially the same.
I would recommend that we make, just for insurance
purposes and for our own supplies, 100,000 of these Sten guns.
Colonel Studler can get me 100,00G in 90 d's. They farm
out the small parts to smaller companies, and then they as-
;Amble them.
The War Production Board sent a fellow over and asked
if any of the gadgets we manufacture could be farmed out to
smaller firms - if so, they would appreciate it.
As to the British, who will have this complement of
2,000,000 guns with 370 rounds of ammunition as of April 1,
and will have a capacity for 300,000 for the next year. This
should be contiAued to be built up, but for our purposes we
4.�A,

would needi100,000 right away. Therefore, gine* we can't
get, them from the British, 40 insurance fop ourselves we
should, MIN 100,000 then take another look at the situation.
Wo nhould aloo t4ot priority for 4 certain mount of amm
