true but dont you remeber that germany was the richest contry in the world at that time. they had 10 times the money of the united states. but money was the problem after 1944. and they statred making a cheap gun called a mp-3008 also known as the "peaples gun" it was a mp-40/sten

U meant Mark 4 tank? Don't forget M3 grease gun was copied, in concept, from MP40, how about British Sten ? Ever hold the Bar? Heard about u need a boy to carry the ammo? I like the Browning Auto but not carring it .

I overall think that the Nazis didn't understand that quantity almost always beats quality in a war. MP44: Great weapon, but incredibly hard to produce along with its unusual ammunition, and therefore not many soldiers were issued it. Many were armed with the Kark 98k rifle which is absolute crap compared with America's M1 Garand rifle. The Nazis made the same mistake with their stick grenade; It had metal and wooden parts, much harder to produce than the all metal grendades used by the US.

rate of fire was the problem for the tompson i know 3 peaple who used them and they all siad it jammed like crazy and ran out of all of there ammo in a 3 min fire fight. 2 of them would rather use a a german gun. the other siad he just shot in 2 or 3 bursts. the m1 carbine is only usefull if you wana shoot a guy 50 yards away its still used because the us gave it to them and they use what they got because russia aint gonna give them any aks the BAR is a good weapon BUT IT WAS 2 HEAVY.

Actually 88pie88, the BAR was an excellent gun and was used until later parts of the Vietnam War. The thompson outdoes its German counterpart, the mp40, in terms of accuracy, stopping power, and rate of fire. GUNxSPECTRE is right that the M1 carbine is a great weapon- it's still in use with Israel. The Nazis made a tactical blunder in trying to produce complecated and expensive weapons so late in the war. For each one of their Tiger tanks they made they could have produced 3 Panzer Mark IIIs...

The M1 carbine was a great weapon. And no, it was not like a pistol. Because of the limitations found by the 1911s and the .45ACPs, the M1 carbines were issued to fix the problems. If the Marines found the M1 carbine good for jungle warfare, then it's good.

the united states didnt real had good guns tompson was to unaccurate and it shot 20 rounds in 4 sec and a drum mag would jam the gun, the m1 carbine was like a pistol but with wood so it was useless the m3 grease gun was a good gun but was rarely used. B.A.R was to heavy and the m1 i would say was the best.

uh,no the german weapons were ill suited for the harsh cold climate of the Soviet Union and most of them needed constant care to work properlynot to mention their weapons were way too timeconsuming and expensive to manafacture in large quantities |
