    "And who cares about accuracy when you have history in your hands." Perfectly said :). I have an ol' Mosin made in 1942, and if I put a round on paper, I'm happy. It's just satisfying to take her out and let the beast bark every once in a while.

      those weapons are not designed for accuracy. You have to look at warfare, close combat. Soldiers are scared, the want mass power and shoot.

    A few weeks ago I took my fully automatic MP-40 and Type 50 (Chinese PPSh-41) to an indoor range. The Type 50 shot flawlessly with stick magazines. However, the MP-40 was plagued with failure-to-feed stoppages with all 6 magazines. Since then, I ordered and installed new magazine springs and a new recoil assembly spring. Hopefully this will resolve the failure-to-feed problem and the gun should shoot like it supposed to.

    if you were born in the 70s you know that you could buy non firing original mp-40s for about 60 bucks in the late 80s.My dad bought me one in 1984 at a gun show with the waffen stamps and matching numbers for 99 dollars.All it needed was a firing pin and it was good to go.stole out of a storage unit in 92.

    Great video. One point! The MP40 can be fired by trigger control. I have done so with other SUBMACHINE GUNS. You can see documentary actual combat Eastern Front films of this being done. One squeezes the trigger and immediately releases it. In this way the bolt moves forward, strips a round and fires. During recoil the bolt moves back and catches on the sear knotch. W hole not as accurate as a closed bolt weapon one can still deliver effective aimed fire when bursts are not needed and thus conserves ammunition.

    I was very lucky to shoot a legal full auto MP-40 at a local range. VERY accurate at 100 meters or less, with a very low cyclic rate of around 600 rpm. You can easily fire 1, 2 or 3 shot full auto with this gun. One of the best open bolt SMG's of WWII, IMHO:)-Gearhead222

      I've fired the gun full auto before. I was very surprised with how well I could manage the recoil. I fired two magazines, one in short bursts (in which my accuracy was pretty high) and one where I just held down the trigger until empty. The gun was not very heavy, accurate, and the recoil was very manageable. If you ever get the chance, you should shoot one.

      Here in the USA, the leftist politician like banning ugly guns. Only criminals use them so in their agenda driven minds, they think that they are doing something. Full auto is fun until you need to take out a second mortgage to replace the ammo. Semi auto is more fun and affordable.

    The weapon is good machine gun. It naturally shoots low and to the left. This is good because it will rise to the right and cut the target diagonally when in full auto.

    • @ryanwood6754
      @ryanwood6754 ปีที่แล้ว

      huh clever I never knew that about it. I suppose it makes sense because if your first few shots were dead accurate then the later shots would skew up and miss. So if your weapon naturally aimed lower and to the left first it will correct itself to the natural position.

    I've fired an NFA-34 registered MP-40 on full-auto in Arizona a few times. It's a very easy weapon to use. The sub machine gun is a strange thing for those of us who mostly own class 1 firearms. Although it is a shoulder-fired weapon, there is virtually NO recoil. It is a delight for anyone who appreciates firearms.

  • @johnmills925

    The guy on 4:39 aims correct. It is because the of the mp40 sight isn't calibrated well. You can see, all of his shots are in the same area. He is good on aiming, he just have to aim with the specific smg a little bit right and up. :-)
    It is easy to adjust your aiming to the micro mistakes of the sights.

    Awesome video! Very informative! I had the opportunity to shoot an MP40 at a machine gun shoot last summer and it was awesome! Id love to own one some day, but they are super expensive and rare...
    One thing I would add though is that while yes, in WWII the standard US infantry squad was armed with M1 Garands and used the BAR gunner for automatic suppressive fire...
    ...There was also usually at least one (or more) guys armed with an smg per squad. The Thompson was very popular, as well as the grease gun later on in the war.
    This is obviously in contrast to the way the German infantry did it. Like you said, they focused everything on the machine gun, whereas the US focused more on tactics/movement and 'fire teams'

    Maybe this submachinegun is not so light for clearing rooms and light equipment. Actually the Maschinenpistole 40 weights about 4.11Kg, it's more heavy than an AKM or an AR-15.

    A slight correction. The light machine gun was manned by a dedicated light machine gunner who had a pistol sidearm, an assistant gunner carrying two ammo cases who also had a pistol sidearm. The 3rd man was a rifleman, who carried two 50 round magazines for the light machine gun, and did not himself take part in operating the light machine gun. Though he was, according to doctrine, not far away from the light machine gun. The 3rd man would take over for the second man, should the 1st or 2nd guy be unable to fulfill their roles for one reason or another.
    The MP40 was not issued to the squad leader until 1941 (prior to the invasion of the soviet union), and up until that point he used a K98.

    Very cool. In the U.S., you can't even own a semi-auto MP 40 since it's an open-bolt gun (open-bolt guns cannot be made after 1982). Let alone have one with the original receiver since the BATFE considers any fully-auto receiver modified to fire semi-automatically is still a machine gun. Here, there are no semi-auto only MP 40s.

    I was VERY FORTUNATE to shoot one in Full-Auto. My older brother knew a Class 3 dealer and was able to shoot the MP40, Carl Gustaf, PPSH-43 with a drum and a MAC10. I HATED the MAC10 (dangerous to shoot without a suppressor), PPSH-43 was very crude but did work Ok, Carl Gustaf was nice but nothing special but the MP40 was a BLAST to shoot VERY controllable which the MAC10 was NOT. It was very well made, hard to believe it was sheet metal and plastic. Between my two brothers and myself we probably shot more than 600 rds of various 9mm ammo with different bullet shape (conical and truncated) with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. It had enough weight that it just giggled a little when shot from the hip which was so COOL. I wouldn't want someone to shoot one at ME. It's like squirting a hose, you see where the bullets go and you move it a little up or down or left or right to hit what you want to hit. 😉😁😎

    Szia, I like the 'Submachine gun partial disassembly' poster in the back.
    They make a new reproduction of this gun in semi auto
    that is available in the USA. You are so lucky to have access to
    all the guns I see you review on your channel.

      A magyarok hozzászoktak, hogy tiszta, nem elmosódott hangokat hallassanak, azért is beszéljük olyan tisztán, elkülönülő hangokkal az idegen nyelveket is. Magyarosan. A szlovák nyelv is hasonló tiszta hangokból áll.
      Legalábbis nekem ez a véleményem. Egyszer szlovákokkal beszéltem angolul, és megdicsértek, hogy milyen szépen beszélek angolul, pedig gyengén tudok.

    There was some discussion about converting a semi-automatic MP-40 to full auto in the United States. Unless the receiver is already on the BATFE registry and was on it prior to 1968, just don't do it. If it is on the registry (pre-68) and is currently inoperative or operative in semi-auto only, you can have it converted to a transferable full auto weapon. If it isn't on the registry, you are manufacturing a new machine gun that is not transferable on a Form-4.

    In a real combat situation at distances MP40 was meant to shoot (100-200m) no one has time nor willingness to aim the gun so precisely and shoot very accurate fire, because in a real war situation you neither see the target so well and for so long, nor you want to become stationary target yourself while you aiming your gun. So MP 40 is a perfect machine pistol. Everything is just perfect about this gun. While very precise fire is for snipers. Machine guns are used for most fire density from longer distances, so there's no necessity to get to even closer distances.
