Title: MP40 Submachine Gun with Strap (Schmeisser Feed System) – Collectible Replica

Description:

This meticulously detailed MP40 submachine gun replica with strap (featuring the iconic Schmeisser feed system) is a captivating piece of World War II German military history. Crafted from metal and plastic, this non-firing replica boasts realistic features including a simulated firing mechanism, detachable magazine, and an adjustable leather strap.

The MP40 (Maschinenpistole 40), designed by Heinrich Vollmer in 1940, was a pivotal weapon in equipping German soldiers with effective close-quarters combat capabilities. Chambered for 9mm Parabellum cartridges, this submachine gun utilized 32-round magazines, providing a reliable firing range of approximately 100-150 meters. Its relatively low rate of fire, even in bursts, resulted in manageable recoil, enhancing accuracy at close range—ideal for urban, forested, or other confined environments. While effective in close combat, its limited range made it less effective than other weapons in open warfare.

Approximately 1,047,000 MP40s were produced by the end of World War II, with thousands falling into the hands of the Red Army. Its legacy extended beyond the war, seeing service with the French Army in the Indochina conflict and later in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
