Steyr MP40, German MP40
GERMAN MP-40 9MM SMG MANUFACTURED BY STEYR
One of the workhorses of the German Army from World War II. This is an original ALL MATCHING German MP-40 in 9mm made by Steyr.
The Maschinenpistole 40, commonly known as the MP40, is similar to the Thompson, but uses a smaller 9-mm round. This submachine gun evolved out of the MP38, which was prone to misfirings that had sometimes lethal results. A simple technical innovation to the hammer eliminated the problem, and the MP40 was born. Total production is unknown but it is believed that more that one million of these weapons were produced between 1940 and 1944.

History:
The Steyr MP40 submachine gun, or the ‘Maschinenpistole 40’, was the signature SMG of the German Wehrmacht during WW2. The groundbreaking weapon was designed for both tactical superiority and ease of mass-production, a manufacturing philosophy other militaries quickly adopted.
The German MP40 by Steyr : A Modern Take on a Classic Design
The Steyr MP40, not to be confused with the iconic WWII-era Maschinenpistole 40, is a contemporary firearm produced by the Austrian company Steyr Arms. This modern iteration pays homage to the original Steyr MP40 but incorporates advanced materials and technology to meet the needs of today’s shooters.
The Steyr MP40 maintains the aesthetic appeal of the original WWII submachine gun, capturing the attention of military enthusiasts and collectors. However, this modern version is designed for semi-automatic firing, adhering to contemporary regulations and market demands. The rifle combines historical design elements with modern manufacturing techniques, making it a unique blend of past and present.
One of the most notable features of the Steyr MP40 is its construction. The use of high-quality materials such as modern polymers and advanced metal alloys ensures durability and reliability while reducing weight compared to the original all-metal construction. This makes the firearm easier to handle and more comfortable for prolonged use.
The Steyr MP40 is chambered in 9mm Parabellum, similar to its predecessor, providing a sense of authenticity. It features a 25-round magazine, slightly fewer rounds than the original, but sufficient for most practical shooting applications. The semi-automatic firing mode is a significant departure from the fully automatic capability of the original MP40, aligning with legal requirements in many regions and making it accessible to civilian markets.
Ergonomics and user experience are also enhanced in the Steyr MP40. The modern materials and design improvements contribute to better handling and control. The firearm includes a folding stock, reminiscent of the original design, which adds to its nostalgic appeal while offering practical benefits for storage and transport.
In conclusion, the Steyr MP40 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the original German MP40, blending historical design with modern innovation. It appeals to collectors, history buffs, and shooting enthusiasts who appreciate both its heritage and contemporary craftsmanship. Whether displayed as a collector’s piece or used for sport shooting, the Steyr MP40 continues to capture the spirit of its storied predecessor.
