Eh well I started using the mp40 more and came to find out what is really is. Now when the mp41 came out, that is all I used, probably more than anyone and here is what I found after using the mp40 for a week straight. The mp40 has more range and is more accurate at higher ranges. I don't think it fires a little faster than the 41. The mp41 at long ranges isn't as accurate, use the mp40 and 41 firing at the enemy from 700 to 800 meters and you will see what I mean. Now this is where I feel bad, I would much rather use the mp40, BUTTTT the mp41 has less recoil, so it is better to hipshoot with. The difference with hipshooting with these guns are huge, so I have to stick with the 41 unless their is a map that doesn't have them or has the 44 one. Range: 40 > 41 Hipshooting 40 < 41 Damage: 40 = 41 Recoil 40 < 41
