Revision as of 12:15, 23 March 2012
Popular culture has portrayed the MP40 as the most common weapon in the hands of WW2 German soldiers; this is actually incorrect, as the bolt-action Kar 98 was more common, but in movies and especially in videogames the MP40 will be seen issued on at least a one-to-one basis with the Kar 98, and is often more common than it.
There are a number of common errors related to the magazine; the MP40's straight dual-column, single-feed magazine was notoriously prone to misfeeding if used as a grip, and the correct grip is to grasp the top of the magazine well. However, it is not strictly incorrect for an actor to grip the magazine, as a wealth of stock photographs exist of real soldiers holding their weapons in this way. Additionally, the MP40 magazine was prone to spring failures if fully loaded; rather than being loaded with a full 32 rounds, soldiers would typically use 30 or 28. Videogames will almost always show them with a full 32 rounds.
The MP40 sub-machine gun (or one of it's variants) can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
