MP 18

The MP18 is a German submachine gun designed by Hugo Schmeisser and manufactured by Theordor Bergmann. It is the first practical submachine gun used in combat. It was introduced to the German Army in 1918 during World War I. Although production ended in the 1920s, it was used as a basis for many future submachine guns and was still in service all the way to World War II by Germany and Japan.

Battlefield 1942
The Mp18 is issued to the Japanese and, on certain maps, German Medic kits. It has a 32 round magazine, a high rate of fire, medium damage, low recoil and low accuracy. It can kill in 5-8 shots. Although having low recoil, its relatively bad accuracy can make it very difficult to use for longer ranges, although shooting in 2 shot bursts can keep good constant fire on a far away target. It is essentially a close quarters weapon.
