MP40

The MP40 is used by many of the SS soldiers stationed at the bunker complex. Several of the weapons are also taken by the Allied raiding force and turned against their former owners. As is common in films, the MP40 is incorrectly portrayed as being the most common weapon carried by German troops, although it is at least somewhat conceivable that soldiers guarding a secret research facility may be issued with more of these than would be considered typical.
