The MP 40 is the submachine gun of the Axis team, and available to the Assault, Elite Assault, Engineer, Squad Leader, and Commander classes. Upon reaching veterancy, it is unlocked for the Allied team, as well. Compared to its Allied counterpart, the PPSH-41, the MP 40 has a much lower rate of fire and is unable to fire semi-auto; however, it is much more controllable, making it more competitive at mid to long range, as well as more suited to suppression due to the longer amount of time it can sustain fire.
