MP 40
The MP 40 is a German submachine gun designed by Erma Werke. Utilized extensively by the German military in World War II, the MP 40 has become an iconic weapon in World War II media.
Popular culture has portrayed the MP 40 as the most common weapon in the hands of German soldiers during World War II. This is actually incorrect, as the bolt-action Karabiner 98k was more common, but in films, television, and especially in video games, the MP 40 will be seen issued on at least a one-to-one basis with the Kar 98k, and is often more common than it.
There are a number of common errors related to the magazine; the MP 40's straight dual-column, single-feed magazine was notoriously prone to misfeeding if used as a grip, and the correct grip is either to grasp the magazine well or support the underside of the weapon directly behind it (see how the masked assailant fires the MP 40 at Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark). 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 MP 40 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.
N.B. In several films, novels and television series, the MP 40 is colloquially referred to as the "Schmeisser", which was the nickname assigned to it by Allied soldiers during World War II. In fact, German weapons designer Hugo Schmeisser had no part in the design or manufacture of the MP 40, except for a patent on the magazine. Schmeisser's name was associated with the weapon due to his involvement in several earlier designs, including the MP 18, the first submachine gun deployed in combat (during World War I).
The MP 40 sub-machine gun (or one of its variants) can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

MP 40/I
The MP 40/I was a prototype submachine gun introduced in 1944. It was designed to increase magazine capacity by designing a double magazine system. After firing rounds from one magazine, the assembly of both magazines could be moved to the side and fire could be started again. The whole project turned out to be impractical and work on it was stopped. The same system of magazines has a later design by Erma Werke. More precisely, we are talking about the Erma EMP 44.

It featured wooden furniture and a wooden stock. Production ended because of legal action by the designers of the MP 40.
