HISTORY

The Maschinenpistole 40 or MP 40 is an iconic weapon from the Second World War. It was designed by Heinrich Vollmer in 1938 for Nazi Germany, where Erma Werke produced an estimated 1.1 million MP 40s from 1940 to 1945. The MP 40 saw extensive use by Axis infantry, paratroopers, and armored units. It utilizes an open bolt blowback operated system. Its only mode of fire is automatic, but due to its low rate of fire and low recoil it was a very controllable submachine gun that was favored by many units.

During the Vietnam War the MP 40 was used by both North and South Vietnam forces. The North Vietnamese captured the MP 40 from the French Far East Expeditionary Corps. The South Vietnamese secured their MP 40s through the CIA from the Civilian Irregular Defense Group program. There are even images of Green Berets Special Forces using the MP 40.
