	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The Maschinenpistole 40 (MP 40) is a German 9×19mm Parabellum submachine gun developed on the eve of World War II and produced in large numbers for wartime service. It is an open-bolt, blowback-operated weapon with a folding stock and extensive stamped-steel construction intended to simplify mass production. Although fully automatic only, its relatively modest cyclic rate and controllable recoil made it effective for close-range fighting in infantry, airborne, and vehicle-crew roles.
	~~=HISTORY=~~		==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~~.		Designed in 1938 and fielded from 1940 onward, the MP 40 evolved from the earlier MP 38 and became one of the most recognizable German submachine guns of World War II. Its design emphasized modern manufacturing methods, using stamped parts and spot welding alongside a compact layout with a metal folding stock and a detachable box magazine. In service it was valued for portability and handling, though it could be sensitive to magazine-related feed issues if the magazine was abused as a gripping point or contaminated with dirt.

	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.		After World War II, large numbers of MP 40s circulated globally through capture, redistribution, and later resale, appearing in a wide variety of postwar conflicts. During the [[Vietnam War]] era, MP 40s were present in Southeast Asia in small numbers, primarily as legacy weapons that had been captured, reissued, or acquired through irregular supply channels, and they could be encountered on both sides alongside a wide mix of older submachine guns.
