|quotetext=The weapon that fit the 'bad guy gun' bill before the [[AKM|AK]] came along, the MP40 is mostly remembered for its imposing looks, conjuring up the image of a scene in a fantasy movie, with a group of baddies in trench coats and helmets carrying these, and hip-firing them fruitlessly at the plucky heroes escaping their predicament. In reality, though it is a heavy and imposing weapon, it is no less a capable submachine gun, with a slow, highly controllable rate of fire, a 32-round capacity, and an affordable price tag. For the movie enthusiast, or the budget-conscious looking for a bullet hose that doesn't break the bank.|quoteauthor=Tempest
