I just noticed that the weapon unlocks were added in the profile last update so I thought people might like to see them. Talk about the unlocks you like and dislike!

The ability to unlock different cosmetic stuff like the trigger guard for the K98 and black handgrip for the P38 is a nice touch IMO. :IS2: The fact that the mosin and TT33 don't seem to have any cosmetic upgrade saddens me, though. 
Also, I want that 20-round C96 magazine ASAP.

The Mp40 unlock is the MP40/II. It's basically 2 magazines and is stupid. The gun was never fully produced because it failed so badly in the testing. The dual mag made it unbalenced and too heavy and it jammed twice as much as the normal MP40.
The Nagant can have a silencer but its stupid thats its ingame because its more for NKVD and special forces. Not for front line troops.
DP28 couldn't really have any unlocks :/ But the MG34 gets a dual Drum. I'm so ****ing pissed. 75 Rounds is probably the same One drum but just magically had 75 rounds. What the **** was wrong with just a 100 - 150 belt upgrade?
Would of made a lot more sense if they added another type of Scope. Snipers would of never used Bayonets. When they were that close they would try to hide the fact they are Snipers incase they get captured.

Im sure the mg's will be balanced some other way.
I'd rather have weapons have some differences than to play both sides with the exact copies with only a different skin.
Making the double magazine available for the MP40, just so it has the same number of rounds as the PPsh is already laughable.
Lets not kill immersion any more by trying to balance the guns in such an arbitrary way.
I'll take a 32 round MP40 over a 75 round PPsh anyday, since it;s much more accurate and controlable. The 64 round magazine is just overkill.

duel mag for MP-40 should be at level 50. And drum for PPSH should be at level 0. It's stupid that the MP-40 unlocks an extremely rare mag at the same time that the PPSH unlocks the extremely common mag. Which I would guess was probably the most common mag in the world at the time (though I could be wrong), considering that most guns at the time used stripper clips.

Totally agree.
It's funny that every Assault/Teamleader/Squadleader on the axis side will have submachine guns with bigger clips than the Allied Machinegunner. This would be the biggest issue for me, were it not that using such a rare piece of equipment as a wildly available commodity is quite ridiculous.
Also, bayos on sniper rifles? Arguably even more laughable.

Probably two magazines "taped" together for a quick reload on the MP40.
The silenced nagant actually did exist. Because of the way the cylinder moves forward it seales the cylinder gap and creates an airtight seal making it possible to be "silenced" (unlike other revolvers where gas/sound escape between the cylinder and barrel).
The use of a suppressor would have been extremely rare though and only some very special recon-units might have had one.

Woohoo the MP40 will be even more of a super weapon...with more ammo to snipe with.
As said before the MP40 with double mag was the MP40/II. It was an experiment that didn't work..it was to heavy, unbalanced and totally unreliable. The MP40 jammed enough and was prone to dust and dirt already.
Just wish that a weapon that was designed for room and trench clearance wasn't suddenly able to snipe very small targets at the limit of it's so called effective range.....anyway rant over it's a bone of contention for me.
As for unlock making the weapons look abit different I'm OK with that.

you sure about that in my eyes the mg34 is already alot better than the dp (in my eyes at least and that 200 meter thing but youll get used too it)
Now giving it more than double the rounds will make it even more superior

I for one think its a nice touch and will add a bit of variation.
Its not a 64 round magazine....

Imho, they should have sticked to cosmetic upgrades only: nice to look at and no need to further balance anything...

I could be wrong, but this is what wikipedia is telling me, can't find more info anywhere else.
From this, I would infer that the drum mag was more common, until after 42, which would be after Stalingrad. Again, I could be wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that the drum mag was a lot more common than the MP-40 double mag.
And there was a reason the double mag was not produced in large quantities. It sucked, had horrible feeding and jamming issues. I would rather a single mag to a double in real life.
