For the submachine gun in Battlefield Heroes, see Submachine gun (Battlefield Heroes) The MP 40 was the standard Sub-machine gun of the European Axis Forces during World War II. It was designed by Heinrich Vollmer for the German army. The MP 40 is an iconic image from the Second World War; it often features prominently in war movies.

Battlefield 1942
The Mp40 is issued to the German and Italian Medic kits, with 4 extra magazines. It has a good rate of fire, medium damage, low recoil and low accuracy. It remains a very effective close-quarters weapon, but it is relatively ineffective at long ranges as its accuracy deteriorates quickly; even going prone and burst firing will often result in wasting ammo.
