The MP40 submachine gun can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:Popular culture has portrayed the MP 40 as an almost stereotypical sub-machine gun as it is so prevalent in both war movies and video games, nearly to the point of surpassing the fame of the Thompson sub-machine gun.

In movies and video games, soldiers usually incorrectly hold the MP40 by its magazine instead of its grip right above the trigger which is the proper way to hold it. They also usually never fold out the stock. I guess its because it makes the German Army look more like "gangsters" rather than soldiers. Any trained soldier would know how to properly hold the gun.
