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. [1]
