MP40

Discover the MP40's strengths and weaknesses in Call of Duty 2026. Learn about its moderate damage, fast rate of fire, and historical context, plus its jamming tendencies.

The MP40 submachine gun is an effective room-clearing weapon in Call of Duty 2026. It boasts a relatively minimal climb, making it manageable even when fired fully automatic in extended bursts. Its advantages include reasonable accuracy, easy handling, and stability during prolonged firing. However, a disadvantage is the 32-round magazine placement, and a potential weak point is the feeding system's tendency to get dirty, which can cause jams, especially with the cylindrical 9mm cartridges.

Historically, the MP40, often called "the Schmeisser" by Allied troops, was developed by Heinrich Vollmer of Erma Erfurter Waffenfabrik, not Hugo Schmeisser. A late modification, the MP 40/II, featured two side-by-side 32-round magazines for easier switching.
