The '''{{w|MP 40}}''' (''Maschinenpistole 40'', German for "Machine Pistol 40") was the standard submachine gun of the European Axis Forces during World War II. It was designed by Heinrich Vollmer for the German army as a cheaper production version to the weapon's predecessor, the '''MP 38'''. The MP 40 and MP 38 are iconic images from the Second World War, often featuring prominently in war movies and other media.

The '''MP 40''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield 1942]]'' and is issued to the [[Wehrmacht]], [[Afrika Korps]], [[Royal Italian Army]] and [[German Elite Forces]] [[Medic]] kits,as well as the [[Jetpack]] kit in [[Secret Weapons of WWII]] expansion pack.
 
   
The weapon has a high rate amongst all infantry weapons at 540 rpm, but with a lower damage per shot compared to assault rifles and light machine guns available to the Assault kit. It requires four shots to the body to kill at minimum range, and seven at one hundred meters and beyond. Although the MP 40 has low recoil per shot, during sustained firing its high rate of fire can make controlling the weapon difficult, throwing the user's aim up and to the left or right. This, along with high spread deviation with long shots, makes the MP 40 a poor choice for long range engagements, at which the gun is only semi-effective even when fired prone and in bursts or single shots. As with other submachine guns, the MP 40 is, therefore, better suited to close quarters engagements, as well as shooting on the move thanks to its weapon type having the lowest max spread deviation.

When comparing the MP 40 to the allies [[Thompson]], both weapons have identical spread, damage and recoil patterns, and only differ in reload time and magazine capacity, with the MP 40 being slightly faster by 0.5 seconds, and with two more bullets in the magazine. The Thompson, however, surpasses its counterparts in rate of fire, at 600 rpm versus 540 rpm of the MP 40, giving the Thompson a slight edge when up close. The [[MP 18]], MP 40 and [[Sten SMG]] are identical in terms of stats and function.

The '''MP40''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield V]]'', first appearing in the [[Battlefield 5 Official Reveal Trailer]].

===Singleplayer===

Throughout the singleplayer war stories, the MP40 is the general weapon used by enemy [[Wehrmacht#Battlefield V|German]] [[Assault#Battlefield V|Assault troops]]. MP40s are also wielded by various characters throughout the singleplayer [[Battlefield V#Singleplayer|War Stories]] [[Nordlys]] and [[The Last Tiger]]. Player character [[Solveig Fia Bjørnstad|Solveig's]] uses it as a starting weapon in the third act, and is the main weapon used by her and [[Astrid Bjørnstad|Astrid]] in cutscenes. Similarly, [[Peter Müller]] uses the MP40 as his primary when exiting the [[Tiger I#Battlefield V|tank]] while the same weapon is used by [[Hartmann]] and [[Schröder]] during the campaign.
  +
  +
===Multiplayer===
  +
In Multiplayer, the MP40 is issued to the [[Medic#Battlefield V|Medic]] class, unlocked at Medic rank 6. The weapon shares many attributes with the kit's starting weapon, the [[Sten#Battlefield V|STEN]], including fire rate, magazine capacity, reserve supply and [[Specializations#Battlefield V|specialization tree]]. It also possesses similarly light recoil including lower horizontal recoil, at the cost of lower muzzle velocity of 455 m/s. The key strength of the MP40 is its greater base accuracy, coupled with a best-in-class partial reload of 1.96s. This allows the MP40 to rapidly reengage after depleting the magazine, but is offset by a much less impressive 3.33s empty magazine reload. Despite its limited application in very close quarters due to its low rate of fire, the MP40 has considerable reach because of its light recoil, especially when tap-fired, in addition to increased sustainability in gunfights produced by a very short downtime between reloads, with the caveat that magazines must not completely expended.
  +
  +
In terms of [[Specializations (Battlefield V)/Weapons|specializations]], the MP40 lacks any default unlocks unlike its close relation. It has available Quick Reload, Enhanced Grips, Polished Action and Recoil Buffer on its left path, and Quick Aim, Ported Barrel, Barrel Bedding and Custom Stock on the right.

This article is rated as standard

The MP 40 (Maschinenpistole 40, German for "Machine Pistol 40") was the standard submachine gun of the European Axis Forces during World War II. It was designed by Heinrich Vollmer for the German army as a cheaper production version to the weapon's predecessor, the MP 38. The MP 40 and MP 38 are iconic images from the Second World War, often featuring prominently in war movies and other media.

Battlefield 1942

The MP 40 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942 and is issued to the Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps, Royal Italian Army and German Elite Forces Medic kits,as well as the Jetpack kit in Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack.

The weapon has a high rate of fire amongst all infantry weapons at 540 rpm, but with a lower damage per shot compared to Assault Rifles available to the Assault kit. It requires four shots to the body to kill at minimum range, and seven at one hundred meters and beyond. Although the MP 40 has low recoil per shot, during sustained firing its high rate of fire can make controlling the weapon difficult, throwing the user's aim up and to the left or right. This, along with high spread deviation with long shots, makes the MP 40 a poor choice for long range engagements, at which the gun is only semi-effective even when fired prone and in bursts or single shots. As with other submachine guns, the MP 40 is, therefore, better suited to close quarters engagements, as well as shooting on the move thanks to its weapon type having the lowest max spread deviation.

When comparing the MP 40 to the allies Thompson, both weapons have identical spread, damage and recoil patterns, and only differ in reload time and magazine capacity, with the MP 40 being slightly faster by 0.5 seconds, and with two more bullets in the magazine. The Thompson, however, surpasses its counterparts in rate of fire, at 600 rpm versus 540 rpm of the MP 40, giving the Thompson a slight edge when up close. The MP 18, MP 40, and Sten SMG are identical in terms of stats and function.

— In-game description

The MP40 is a weapon featured in Battlefield V, first appearing in the Battlefield 5 Official Reveal Trailer.

Singleplayer

Throughout the singleplayer war stories, the MP40 is the general weapon used by enemy German Assault troops. MP40s are also wielded by various characters throughout the singleplayer War Stories Nordlys and The Last Tiger. Player character Solveig's uses it as a starting weapon in the third act, and is the main weapon used by her and Astrid in cutscenes.
