Brass Eagle / Ions would be like a Glock .45 (or anything larger than 9mm); i.e., it's made of plastic and when you pull the trigger it might put a shot where you want or explode on you instead

The frames are polymer and therefore plastic.

There.... wasnt one?

The US had a "grease gun", know as the M3A1 http://www.ginklai.net/images/galerija/2662_m3_a1_2.jpg

.45, cheap/ easy to make (stamped aluminium parts). Much cheaper and more simple than the thompson... Came out in 1944......iirc. I know they had more of a role in the Pacific front....

Maybe you mean the german Mp-40? http://www.aucn89.dsl.pipex.com/Sales/mp40%20accs.jpg

9x19 (9mm), had a barrel attachment to shoot around corners..... called a Schmeisser sometimes...

Yes, i know way to much about WW2 small arms...

Well, feel free to take your chances, but...

"Disturbingly, reports of Glock 21 pistols that have been exploding in the hands of their users has been increasing in recent years. The latest incident happened to not one, but *two* individuals within a week right here in Portland, OR. Here is a link to the latest incident..."
