The MP 40 is a German submachinegun chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, which was extensively used during the Second Weltkrieg. One of its major advantages over prior German submachineguns such as the MP 28/II was the use of stamped steel, which allowed the MP 40 to be produced with staggering speed. It features a forward-folding stock and is fed from 32-round magazines compatible with Schmeisser's SMGs (MP 18 and MP 28/II). About a million of these weapons were produced, being mostly issued to paratroopers and NCOs. Hundreds of thousands (both originals and reproductions) lie around in Oceanyka, beloved for their controllable automatic fire.
