      Ok, wow, I didn’t realize until now that they gave the Italian stereotype a grease gun.

      That’s a little bit of a deep cut for some casual racism, Seth Green.

        Wouldn’t a 1928 Thompson be more accurate? Grease guns don’t have the mafia connection (at least to the public) that Thompsons do.

          Plus grease guns were introduced to the military as a cheaper, easier to manufacture alternative to the Thompson midway through the war. Thompsons were just damn expensive to make. Grease guns were about as simple as you could get other than maybe a Sten.
