The .45 Thompson sub-machine gun and M3 sub machine gun (grease gun) were used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam War. A sub-machine gun is called a SUB machine gun because it uses "pistol" ammunition. The M3 sub-machinegun looked exactly like a grease gun; hence the name.

No. .338 vs .500 If you are referring to World War 2, then you probably mean the .308 bullet used in the British Enfield rifle, the typical infantryman's rifle used in World War 1 & 2. It was a rifle round that was 0.308 inch diameter. The "50 Caliber" was a 0.500 inch caliber bullet that was about 4 inches in length that was used in heavy machine guns that were used on tanks and aircraft.

But no, a .338 is in NO way a .50 cal.
.58 cal.
.22 cal
