The M2 Hyde was the proposed substitute to the M1 Thompson SMG, developed in the 30's and trialed in 1942, it easily beat contemporary submachine guns in accuracy and reliability tests, but due to the increase in production of the M1 Carbine, Inland was unable to start producing the weapon, which lead to a less suited manufacturer which was not able to meet the quality standards of the army. Eventually, the proposed M3 proved a cheaper, easier to build and more reliable weapon.
