The "Erika" in the song actually has a double meaning, it is a girl's name but it is also the German name for the heather plant. So the song is about sweethearts and the fields and meadows back home.

It’s certainly “edgy” to make Holocaust jokes (“original ghetto blaster” and “concentrate” comments). It’s also interesting that he’s making these comments while LARPing as a fascist (not commenting on the song FYI) and simultaneously claiming to hate fascists. I get the edgy nature of his jokes generally, and find many of them funny/harmless, but this fell flat for me. Will he change because I commented? No, and I don’t expect him to. I’m not the content police. Will I still watch his videos? Yes. Many of them are funny. I just want the channel to stick around and grow on merit instead of self destructing because of preventable injury (potential social media TOS violations).

Even when Brandon is goofing around, his level of muzzle discipline is always super high. Thank you for setting a good example for your viewers!

A classmate of mine back in the 80s had his granddad's WW2 bringback MP-40 with a couple full mags in a gym bag in our geology class one morning. His family was dead-assed broke and he'd poach deer on the expanse of forested land across from the school and have his brother come get the deer later in the day.

The "constant recoil" mechanism used in the MPs 38, 40 and 41 allowed the mainspring to totally overcome bolt momentum before it struck the back of the receiver, which made the weapon very stable when it was fired. Jerry Baber used the same principle in the AA12 full-auto 12 gauge, resulting in a shoulder-fired 12-bore machine gun with a cyclic rate of about 350-400 rpm, which had so little recoil that even complete beginners could easily control it with full-power buckshot and slugs!

For the barrel threads, MP40s also had a simpler cone shaped flash hider, to keep the repeated flashes from blinding the shooter.

MP40 - hands down the most iconic submachine gun of WW2. And the reason is.. it is very controllable and accurate. The lower rate of fire combined with a long slide and barrel mean that your bullets go where you want them to. This is 9mm pistol caliber so I wouldn't use it past 100 yards and pen power isn't something you can bank on. Fires from an open bolt.

The German MP-40 was the WW2 precursor of the modern MP5 popular now.

The mp-40 has always been my favorite weapon of WW2, just the design of the gun and the sound, the sound is very unique. German Engineering has always been above and beyond, and they always thought about the little things that mattered when it came to the weapons. I can't believe that the one you have is original, that in itself is incredible. I would cherish that submachine gun, I would clean it every day, I would almost feel bad shooting it. Such an iconic piece of history! Thank you for the videos, Brandon, and thank you for spreading the crucial importance of gun safety to everyone. Taking apart the weapon and showing us how it functions. Education is vital in any setting regarding to safety and wellbeing. All the way from Australia, God Bless my Friend.

As a german I can confirm that "Erika" is a song about a girl that is named after a flower and it is NOT a Nazi song, it is still sung today at some occasions by soldiers. Let me know if you need a complete translation of the lyrics, so I'll provide that. Beautiful montage, I have to say! It looked absolutely fun to shoot (pun intended) ^^

The MP 40 (Maschinenpistole 40) is a submachine gun chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. It was developed in Nazi Germany and used extensively by the Axis powers during World War II. Designed in 1938 by Heinrich Vollmer with inspiration from its predecessor the MP 38, it was heavily used by infantrymen (particularly platoon and squad leaders), and by paratroopers, on the Eastern and Western Fronts as well as armoured fighting vehicle crews Its advanced and modern features made it a favorite among soldiers and popular in countries from various parts of the world after the war. It was often called "Schmeisser" by the Allies, after Hugo Schmeisser, who designed the MP 18, although he was not involved in the design or production of the MP40. The weapon's other variants included the MP 40/I and the MP 41. From 1940 to 1945, an estimated 1.1 million were produced by Erma Werke. The Maschinenpistole 40 ("Machine pistol 40") descended from its predecessor the MP 38, which was in turn based on the MP 36, a prototype made of machined steel. The MP 36 was developed independently by Erma Werke's Berthold Geipel with funding from the German Army. It took design elements from Heinrich Vollmer's VPM 1930 and EMP. Vollmer then worked on Berthold Geipel's MP 36 and in 1938 submitted a prototype to answer a request from the Heereswaffenamt (Army Weapons Office) for a new submachine gun, which was adopted as MP 38. The MP 38 was a simplification of the MP 36, and the MP 40 was a further simplification of the MP 38, with certain cost-saving alterations, most notably in the more extensive use of stamped steel rather than machined parts. The MP 40 was often called the "Schmeisser" by the Allies, after the weapon designer Hugo Schmeisser. Schmeisser had designed the MP 18, which was the first mass-produced submachine gun. He did not, however, have anything to do with the design or development of the MP 40, although he held a patent on the magazine.

When my late father served with the Long Range Desert Group of the British Army in North Africa during WW2, a captured Mp-40 or MP-38 was very much the weapon of choice with him and his mates. With ready supplies of 9mm ammunition always easy to find, a MP40 or MP38 had the advantage of being way better built than a British Sten and way lighter than an American Thompson. And as my old Dad said, the 9mm round certainly got the job done.

actually its not realy a dropping safety - more like an unintentionally discharge safety by klimbing in and out of Tanks. This gun was designed for vehicle crews espacially for tank. Sometimes it happened that the charging handle got caught on the vehicle and pulled back the bold far enough to loosen a round. The leather band was the first try to keep it safe and improove it later like they did with the notch - but you can still find MP40s without notch.

The Bolt closed safety is refered to as a transportsafety on the M45 Carl-Gustav (Swedish K). When the gun is unloaded, the safety is supposed to stop the bolt from bouncing around. Never to be used with a loaded magazine, it does also stop gunk/debris from getting in through the ejection port. Makes you wonder if the Swedes got the idea from the MP40. The M45 is just a mix of Sten, MP40, Suomi and PPS/PPSh.

The MP40 is not cheap to produce, this is why the americans had the grease gun and the britains the sten. Both were junk compared to the MP40.

It also was a high quality SMG.

Yes and no. The issue is that afaik it uses stampings, and stamping is really expensive to set up. Furthermore open bolt guns are scary to the government.

I own two MP40's...modern versions, semi autos. Today at a gunshow, I held my first WWll MP40. Very satisfying.

I’m glad that I have the maturity to appreciate the German arms without childishly hating it because of where it came from. Same as all firearms, it’s an inanimate object with no feelings or beliefs, and is just as much a tool that can be used for good as it can for evil. When I begin collecting NFA items, an original MP40 will be one of the first items I want. I want to try and find one that’s been deactivated and legally restore it, in order to be as affordable as possible.

The MP40 is such a design icon. The various art deco features make it so unique and fashionable, so often overlooked.
