The MP40 is a 9x19MM Luger/Parabellum SMG used by Nazi Germany in WW2, The MP40 developed in 1940 as a simplification of the MP38, it was originally issued to German infantry leaders, paratroopers, and armored vehicle crews who would find carrying a full-sized rifle impractical. While its max capacity was 32 rounds, soldiers would often use 30 or 28 rounds as the 32 Round max would cause issues with the spring failing.

I refuse to take the Brits seriously. They unironically built a tube with a spring inside to fight tanks during WW2 and named it PIAT - projector infantry anti tank. Look at it and it’s smugness. Thinking it’s too good for a rocket motor or something.

The STG-44 (Sturmgewehr) is a 7.92x33MM Kurz/8x33MM Kurz Assault Rifle used by Nazi Germany in WW2, it is the first successful Assault Rife, being the inspiration for all Assault Rifles to come. before it was issued to soldiers in the battlefield as the STG-44, it was issued under the name MP-44 as Hitler didin't like the idea of the STG-44 and prefered SMG's, so other German Leadership members hit it as the MP44. My favorite Assault Rifle ever.
