MP40 Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile While the PPSH was quite reliable, it had manufacturing interchangeability issues in that not all magazines would fit into all guns. 
The Sten and M3 had magazine reliability issues related to feeding from a single set of feed lips (no alternate feeding like on the modern autoloading rifles). The MP38/40 had that issue to some degree as well. The Thompson had the best magazine feed system, but was overly complicated to manufacture. None of them were perfect, nor did any stand out as above the others. |

7.62x25, 35 round magazines and 71 round drums. Probably a good bit cheaper than Thompsons. Early versions also had semi auto. The one pictured here seems to have the selector switch. Quoted:

Might be because there are different versions as the war went on. Germans even made them in 9x19mm. |

Those had magazine interchangeability issues. Often the magazine was serial numbered to the gun to mitigate this. |

Too bad the manufacturing of the Reising wasn't optimized.....
Coulda been a contender.....supposedly tightly fitted parts and no true interchangeability of said parts led to it being very prone to jamming unless maintained thouroughly. Light. Good round. Ran well and did the job when kept clean. |

Ran well and did the job when kept clean. My dad's cousine carried a Reising during the war but never fired it. I think .45 is a fine pistol round but prefer 9 mm or 7.62x25 as SMG rounds. Mostly due to weight and flatter trajectory. |

Swedish k? Yeah, this! How is this not even on the list? It's essentially the same type as a sten, but just a bit different. And it looks better than most of the others. If I could get a swedish k, in 45 acp, that takes grease gun mags and could be easily suppressed, I'd be in heaven. |

It was definitely not the Thompson. Too heavy and too labor intensive and expensive to produce.
Valid arguments can be made for both the Sten and the MP40. |

Yes but what does that prove? It was a crude, inaccurate stamped pos with a horrible trigger and no sights to speak of. I have trigger time with most in the discussion and wouldn't look twice at the grease gun. Junk |

The Thompson was really a WW1 gun, in both construction and doctrine, although it arrived too late. The rest used "modern," for the time, construction and hewed to the doctrine of volume production and volume fire rather than craftsmanship and marksmanship. In WW2 I Like to think I'd have humped the extra weight of the Thompson and its ammo but realistically The MP40 was probably more practical. I do have a sorta 'so ugly it's beautiful' soft spot for the M3 though. I guess you'd say I feel strongly both ways.
