War is a Machine Gun Hell (The MP 40 machine gun in film)
The MP 40 is one of the most distinctive, mid-modern, rapid-fire weapons and also a favorite of World War II film lovers and post-40's crime films.
The MP 40 was a submachine gun developed in Germany and used extensively by the German Wehrmacht during World War II.
At the start of World War II, the majority of German soldiers either carried a Karabiner 98k rifle (bolt-action) or MP 40s, both of which were the standard weapons of choice for a German infantryman.
