The "New" MP40, a suggestion by The_Emperor

What you guess why almost everyone is taking an StGw44 or a captured PPSh ingame rather than taking/keeping his MP40. The game simply ****ed up the gun. Which is really sad :(.
No, which is really realistic.
German soldiers really likes more ppsh than mp40. Thanking bigger magazine and smaller recoil. Yes, recoil really is less at ppsh than mp40. You can find many photos of German soldiers in the Internet then they holding in hands ppsh. A lack of ammo was not, in June-August 1941 Germans cap the whole warehouses with ammunition.

Yes they did use them. But why should the MP40 have a higher recoil than the PPSh?
The MP40 chambers the 9x19mm Parabellum round of the Luger Pistol 08, the Luger has no high recoil, does it? So it should be the same recoil as the Luger Pistol.
The PPSh41 chambers the 7,62x25mm, this is a larger round, isn't it?
Not that much bigger, but still.

The barrel length is 251mm with the MP40, the PPSh41 has 270mm of which 240mm are drilled inside, so actually there is no real difference.

Have you videos to prove your ideas? :) Share them with us here. :)
