German Soldier MP40 w/Stock

The MP 40 was a German 9 mm submachine gun associated with squad leaders, vehicle crews, and close-range fighting during the Second World War. Its folding metal stock distinguished it from earlier wooden-stocked weapons. German infantry squads still depended heavily on their machine gun and riflemen; the MP 40 did not equip every soldier or replace the squad’s supporting weapons. Its metal stock could fold under the receiver, reducing overall length for transport and use within confined vehicles. The MP 40 fired pistol ammunition, making it useful at short ranges but less suitable than a rifle or machine gun for distant targets. Its tactical place was therefore complementary to the squad’s other weapons.
