GERMAN WW2 MACHINE GUNS FOR SALE FULL
The full auto-only 9mm MP40 was the first major military weapon to eschew wooden stocks. The German 9mm MP40 submachine gun was an elegant though thoroughly utilitarian design. The MP38 can be identified at a glance by its longitudinal receiver grooves and a dime-sized hole in the magazine well. Where the MP38 was crafted around an extruded steel tube machined with flutes for decreased weight and increased strength, the MP40 used an inexpensive stamped steel receiver. The MP40 was an evolutionary development of the previous MP38. While the Germans suffered from a deplorable lack of standardization during World War II, the most common German SMG of the war was the iconic 9mm MP40. Practically every major combatant nation of the war had them, and their influence remains evident even today. In the days before widespread use of body armor, the SMG reigned supreme as the ultimate room-clearing tool and short-range weapon. Submachine guns (SMG’s) are compact fully automatic shoulder arms that fire relatively low-powered pistol cartridges.
45 ACP “Grease Gun” was a simple, utilitarian design that saw service at the end of World War II.
Those terrible six years also saw quantum advances in small arms development - and just one part of this was a veritable explosion of submachine gun development. During this time, 56 million people lost their lives, and spinoff technology from war-related projects revolutionized everything from engineering, material science and electronics to transportation and food. World War II changed everything about life on planet earth.
