Welcome to the one and only website that is solely dedicated to the german Maschinenpistole mp40. This site’s purpose is to gather and spread information about this famous worldwar 2 submachinegun as well as get in contact with mp40 collectors and enthousiastics.
The gun itself was a revolution within the development of the submachinegun in general at the time. Think of it’s never seen before fold-up stock, the pistol-handgrip and the patented telescope spring. Many countries made their own “copy” of the mp40 like the US M3 “greasegun”, the Yougoslavian mp56, the Egyptian Port Said, the Portugese FPB, etc
I have tried to be as careful as possible in writing down the information although I know a lot of information is still missing. If however you feel I’m giving the wrong information or if you have additional information please drop me an email info@mp40.nl and I will add or correct it. Any new information or photo's are very welcome as well off course! Although I enjoy investigating everything related to the mp40, I want to clearly state that I don't want to glorify war or the political system that developed these weapons in any way. Also I want to mention that owning and collecting these guns is subject to local laws and regulations.
Enjoy this website!

Below is where I will put any new information relating to the MP38/40/41 that I read on the web or hear from other enthousiastics. If you have anything interesting please let me know at info@mp40.
9-4-2012: Drill Sgt. Gunny comes to a nasty conclusion which we need not necessarily have to agree with.................................... The "Chopper" VS the "Schmeisser"

8-4-2012: I added a necessary addtion to the accessoiries pages. The MP38 and MP40 carrying sling. One of the most common accessoiries but previously still missing on this website. Please let me know your comments. info@mp40.nl
4-3-2012: Interesting link where you can find some e-book downloads and digital articles of MP40 related books. Most of them in Russian but also some in English. Otherwise nice to watch the pictures. Unfortunately not all links seem to work.
26-2-2012: For the collectors under us who have $ 95,000 laying around there is this fantastic opportunity. A MP40/I. Currently I have identified 6 MP40/I. 2 in the USA, 1 in the UK, 2 in France and 1 in Austria. Probably there are a few more. It's a mystery why the MP40/I was on the main regulation D 97 + "equipmentlist (Vorschrift D 97+ "gerätliste") since it was issued in very limited quantities. The MP40/I was equiped with the exact same dual magazine system as the MP3008 prototype. A few mp40's from different factories (different codes) were rebuild and equiped with the dual magazine feeding system. The MP40/I was never newly (of factory) produced. This MP40/I is also featuring in Frank Iannamico "Blitzkrieg". It's currently offered for sale at this website together with some MG's.

5-2-2012: Interesting picture (to the right) found on the internet that shows a painted white MP38 as well as the pouches. The MP38 is equiped with the early safety strap. It shows that there are more versions of this safety strap since some are attached to the barrel and barrel protector other are attached to the receiver muzzle. Most of them seem to be improvised in the field and not manufactured.
