"Another problem was that the magazine was also sometimes misused as a handhold, which could cause the weapon to malfunction when hand pressure on the magazine body caused the magazine lips to move out of the line of feed, since the magazine well did not keep the magazine firmly locked. German soldiers were trained to grasp either the intended handhold on the underside of the weapon or the magazine housing with the supporting hand to avoid feed malfunctions."

I counted 6 errors in the 2 lines I quoted. But don't worry, I've seen much worse. :p

Grease gun!

not a grease gun. I think the only thing the MP40 has in common with the grease gun is being an automatic sub-machinegun. The grease gun is a cheap weapon manufactured by England and probably the US for various resistance movements in occupied Europe. The MP40 is a Nazi Germany weapon.

Another thing they both had in common is that they were both made from stamped metal

No sir. Grease Gun is an M3. That is an M40, as previously stated.

Grease gun is a generic term used to define any simple and easy to produce submachine gun. Since they use stamped sheet metal parts for most of the construction they sometimes tend to look like a grease gun.

The sten Gun is a grease gun, as is the Mp40, the M3 and m3a1, the ppsh43 could be classified as one too.

The M3 grease gun was developed because the thompson was very expensive to produce, was heavy, was sometimes prone to jams, and wasnt the ideal weapon for the US airborne.

The Sten Gun had problems with its magazine, it held 32 rounds but it was advised to only load 30 as the extra 2 could put to much tension on the spring and cause problem feeding, you were not supposed to use the magazine as a grip as you could torque the feed lips and jam it.

The Mp40 was built from the mp38 which is nearly identical accept the mp38 was made mainly of the machined parts, so they redesigned it to be built with stamped parts to simplify construction, make it lighter, and cheaper. you were not supposed to hold onto the magazine, but the magazine well, some videogames and artists get that wrong but oh well. but then again WHO CARES.

Pillar of text.

The US M3 "Grease Gun" is the only SMG referred to as such do to its wire stock and cylinder body that closely resembles a craftman's calking gun or mechanic's grease gun.

still, that is the "proper" way to hold on to a MP-40.

The M3 Grease Gun was never manufactured in any significant numbers, if at all, in any European country. The U.S. did send a bunch of guns over during the lend-lease act early in '42 and some prior to that. Closest English analogue would've been the Sten, which was a 9mm sub-machine gun with most variants lacking the features of the more powerful M3.

Ok, well since were getting technical, why not point out the cap? It's m43 field cap, and yet it only has one button. One buttons were found on the waffen ss infantry officers. The red insignia is clearly not an ss totentopf. Sooooooo

So, in short, our foxie grabbed the wrong hat and then forgot that he needs to slide his hand up a little further so that he's grabbing the magwell.

Case closed.

Removing machien gun tag, Sub machine guns and machine guns are two different things.

Fun fact- one of my family members was a nazi luitennent(Idk how to spell it) And participated in july 20 plot to kill hitler. His last name was Breidbach-Burresheim, Burresheim is my family.

always look good in uniform \,,/

too many peaple to respond to, that is how you hold that verdammt gun!
