CALL OF DUTY - German WWII MP40 Sub-Machine Gun 1940

PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE REPLICA GUNS AND ARE INCAPABLE OF FIRING. THESE ARE TO BE USED AS DECORATIVE ORNAMENTS ONLY.

The MP40 (Maschinenpistole 40) was designed by Heinrich Vollmer in 1940, with the aim of equipping German soldiers with an assault weapon. It used magazines of 32 cartridges of 9mm and its effective range was about 100-150 meters. It was a very reliable weapon and it was very economical to manufacture. It had a relatively weak recoil even when firing in bursts, due to its low rate of fire; this allowed it to be more precise for the close range (urban areas, forests, etc.) than other submachine guns of that same period, but it was less effective in the open areas because of its limited reach; this was one of the reasons that motivated the design of the Stg-44, the predecessor of modern assault rifles.
