The Nazi\u2019s inability to conquer Europe wasn\u2019t their only failure of the Second World War. They also failed to successfully invade Russia, exercise basic humanity, march-like normal people, and a host of other blunders. Suffice it to say that in 1,000 years they won\u2019t be remembered as successful, virtuous, or honorable.<\/p>\n

But despite their eventual surrender, Hitler\u2019s forces did manage to use more iconic weapons of war than any other army. The Luger pistol, the steel helmet, and the stick grenade became regular fixtures throughout the European theater, but Maschinenpistole <\/em>40 surpassed them all.<\/p>\n

The MP40 from German Sport Guns and American Tactical combines a historically accurate appearance with modern manufacturing.<\/p><\/div>\n

The MP40<\/h2>\n

Known in the English-speaking world as the MP40, it\u2019s difficult to imagine a Nazi soldier without one of these firearms swinging by his side. The Germans produced over 1 million MP40s from 1940 to 1945 and used them to devastating effect against the Allied forces.<\/p>\n

American Tactical<\/a> is now importing the very first reproduction of the MP40 chambered in 9mm. It\u2019s manufactured by German Sport Guns (GSG), and I had a chance to test drive one earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A stock would have provided greater stability, but this gun is still seriously fun.<\/p><\/div>\n
