MP-40 Schmeisser Steel Series

Combat prototype

MP-40 was a modification of the MP-38 submachine gun, which in turn was a modification of the MP-36 - a weapon that underwent field tests in Spain. MP-40, like MP-38, was designed primarily for tankers, motorised infantry, paratroopers and infantry platoon leaders.

This gun is often referred to as Schmeisser, after the German gunsmith, although the creator of MP-40 was the talented designer Heinrich Vollmer. MP-40 is the most famous German submachine gun of the Second World War, despite the fact that Wehrmacht troops were poorly armed with it.

Characteristics of design

Abstracting from the weapon purpose and simply looking at the design, we have before us the most refined barrel in the Historic Weapons category. The magazine, buttstock, barrel, grip - the elegance and uncluttered details are a joy to the eye.

The Steel series indicates that the weapon body is fully metal and will stand up to hundreds of games. The bolt carrier is used for reloading. Together with the buttstock, these are the only running parts. Everything else is monolithic.

Durability properties are unquestionable.The pistol grip has a corrugated surface and an adequate inclination angle. The trigger is stiff and retains the character of that era. The standard sights require skill, but are generally comfortable, taking 1-2 games to adapt. The game set is additionally equipped with a carrying sling clamp for the tactical strap.

Gaming characteristics

The scope of supply included a weapon. Hit sensors, chargers and gun belts are to be purchased separately. The weapon is packed with a 2.2 Ah lithium battery. The tagger will effortlessly run for 36 hours. The charging slot is located in the pistol grip.

The range varies depending on the choice of optical system. The installation of an OLED display and recoil simulation technology is not provided for thismodel. The anti-vandal lock is used for turning the game set on.
