- The M2 Hyde-Inland was submitted as a simplified Submachine gun design to replace the M1928 Thompson. It was a more reliable design and more accurate in full automatic then the Thompson. It was originally intended to replace the Thompson with the M2 and keep the Thompson as a back-up, but due the disruption in manufacturing this would create, it was decided to have the M2 as secondary. However, by the time the production line had been set up and issues had been sorted, the M3 Grease Gun had been chosen as the new sub-machinegun. Fewer then 500 were made and none were issued to Army units.
- The Hyde-Inland M2 was the highest-rate United States submachine gun design submitted for trials at Aberdeen Proving Ground in February, 1941. Work was undertaken by General Motors Inland Manufacturing Division to develop workable prototypes of George Hyde's design. The design was designated U.S. Submachinegun, Caliber .45, M2 as a substitute standard for the M1 submachine gun in April, 1942. As Inland's manufacturing capacity became focused on M1 carbine production, the US Army contracted M2 production to Marlin Firearms in July, 1942. Marlin began production in May 1943; but Marlin's original contract for 164,450 M2s was canceled in 1943 upon adoption of the M3 submachine gun. The M2 is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge and used the same 20 or 30 round magazine as the Thompson. Its cyc

Only 400 at the most were manufactured and none were issued by any branches of the United States military.
