Good evening gentlemen, and welcome, to the call of duty zombies armoury.
Today is a good day. Why? Because our weapon today is none other than the fatherland's magnificent, MP40.
A fully automatic sub-machine gun, used in World War 2, and saw limited use in the Cold War era. Loaded typically with 32 9x19mm parabellum rounds.
The MP40 is a simplified version of the MP38, which in turn was a simplified version of the MP36, developed by Manufacturer, Erma Werke.
Contrary to popular belief, the MP40 was not as wide spread as you may see in general media.
And were issued primarily to Paratroops and platoon and squad leaders.
Most other soldiers carried the Kar98k.
However after the battle of Stalingrad, Germany learned more of Soviet Tactics, where the Kar was easily outgunned in urban combat.
As such, the mp40 was in high demand, but materials and labour were too expensive with the Kar98k also in production.
After 1943, the Kar was replaced outright, by the MP40, and the new MP44 later known as the STG44.
A little sooner, and the war could have taken a drastic turn.
The MP40 is the only World at War weapon to return in the Black Ops maps, being found in Kino Der Toten, and Call of the Dead; in both maps the MP40 is located two rooms down from the starting area's, for one thousand points.
The fire rate is fairly low, being the lowest of its class.
Also slowest in terms of your speed when moving.
Despite this, it has the most ammo of all sub-machine guns by far, with a total of 192, excluding the 32 in the magazine.
To make up for the slower running speed, Stamin-Up is a wise choice if no other perks are to your liking.
Double tap also brings some much needed fire-rate increase. Also proving useful.
Expending 5000 points for the pack-a-punch upgrade will grant to you, the Afterburner.
Doubling in two aspects, that of damage and magazine size.
Total spare munitions remain at 192, regardless, the Afterburner still has a higher ammo count than most smg's, second to the upgraded AK74u
No other changes to note, but a vibrant history and healthy statistics, make it a dangerous wonder, to behold.
This concludes our session.
Good Luck.
