It is one of the most famous and iconic submachine guns of World War II, the MP 40 was the primary Submachine gun of the German Wehrmacht between 1940 and 1945, mainly due to its extreme ease of use, reliable automatic rate of fire, and cheap and widespread production.

- The MP 40 descended from its predecessor the MP 38, which was in turn based on the MP 36, a prototype made of machined steel. Each was a progressive simplification of the last, with design changes such as the more extensive use of stamped steel rather than machined parts to make manufacturing both easier and faster. The MP 40 was often called the "Schmeisser" by the Allies, after the weapon designer Hugo Schmeisser. Schmeisser had designed the MP 18, which was the first mass-produced submachine gun in the world and carried some slight resemblance to the MP 40, although he did not have anything to do with the design or development of the MP 40.
- The Maschinenpistole 40 (literally Machine Pistol), despite its name, is actually a submachine-gun used by the Wehrmacht and especially the Fallschirmjager in WWII. It fired a 9mm Parabellum pistol round in a 32-round detachable magazine. It had a relatively low rate of fire compared to other submachine guns of the time (roughly 500 rpm), but coupled with the low recoil made it very manageable. The MP 40 and its older model, MP 38, saw service in the German army through the entire war and could be seen in the Eastern and Western Front, with some allied soldiers even using this trusty firearm as a back up. The weapon is still being used in cold war-era, though the number is very limited. The weapon was revolutionary in submachinegun technology in the fact that it was made entirely of stampe
