Firing the MP40

Pretty cool weapons. A friend of mine had the chance to fire a full-auto MP-40 this summer. He said he was hitting targets at 80 yards, With the "crappy rear sight" being the limiting factor. The weight, slow rate of fire and controllability had him putting all 4-5 rounds of a short burst into the torso of a silhouette out to 40-50 yards.

I admit that I am a bit jealous

Read that during the Stalingrad fighting that Germans actually preferred captured Russian PPsh-41's over the MP40..as it was less prone to jamming. But the drum of the PPsh-41 was known to failure also due to it's thin stamped material..but in close quarters more rounds the better. Love to have a MP40 in my collection...
