The MP 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 German Armament services 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, 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 weapons designer Hugo Schmeisser. Schmeisser had designed the MP 18, which was the first mass-produced submachine gun, and saw extensive service at the end of the First World War. He did not, however, design the MP 40, although he held a patent on the magazine. He later designed the MP 41, which was an MP 40 with a wooden rifle stock and a selector, identical to those found on the earlier MP 28 submachine gun. The MP 41 was not introduced as a service weapon with the German Army, but saw limited use with some SS and police units. They were also exported to Germany's ally, Romania. The MP 41's production run was brief, as Erma filed a successful patent infringement lawsuit against Schmeisser's employer, Haenel.
All the articles manufactured by DENIX have a decorative character only, gift or collection, reason why the company does not take responsability for the badly use, illegal handling or manipulations that these articles can suffer. The imitations of cutting weapons, by the material of which they are made, lack edge by both sides and the firearms lack appropiate mechanisms for it and have the obstructed tube.
Assembled/Kit, non-firing Replica Models should be used only in the home as scale model displays or as collector's items, or for theatrical or training purposes, and always under the supervision of a responsible adult. They should never be carried on the street, pointed at anyone, hidden on your person, or left carelessly in your car.Do not leave them where they are accessible to unsupervised children or irresponsible adults. the carrying, handling or brandisshing in public of any model that resembles a real weapon may be in violation of the law, may create undue apprehension on the part of law enforcement officers or other person, and could result in injury to the person handling the model.
Do not point this model at other people, even as a joke. It could cause alarm or be seen as a threat, with serious or even deadly consequences.
Avoid excessive dry-firing as this may cause breakage.
To avoid mechanical failures, keep the model clean and lightly lubricated.
The public sale of DENIX articles adjusts to the normative of free commerce without being affected by the Regulation of Arms, as it comes off the opinion of the Permanent Inter-ministerial Commission of Arms and Explosives (CIPAE) dated November, 7 th . of 1995 and of the Central military finance service of Arms and Explosives (ICAE) of the Main directorate of the Civil Guard.
In spite of it, we hardly recommend you to avoid to put our articles in the hand luggage, in the cabin, due to the security normative of airports.
