The Reising series of submachine guns have been used in the following films:
Info
Adopted in early 1942 by the USMC, due largely to a shortage of the Thompson Submachine Gun, the Reising was never especially popular with the Marines since it proved to be a maintenance intensive weapon (something not always possible in the primitive Pacific theatre). It eventually fell to the wayside though some examples remained in service with various rear echelon units and police forces. It was favored by some due to its closed bolt operating function, which made it more accurate than the open bolt submachine guns of the time, at the cost of overheating quicker and requiring more maintainance.

Caliber: .45 Caliber Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP)
Capacity: 12 and 20-Round Box Magazines
