No other weapons to compete against it? How about umm... I don't know-the MP 40? Why don't u use the MP 40 against people that use MP40's and stop complaining? Maybe because you can't use it as effectively as them? Sheesh-I get sniped all the time-I don't complain about them. Snipers take a risk, run'n' gunners take different risks and campers different-get over it. And yes, the MP 40 is my favorite gun-there's a reason allied forces would take it off of dead German troops and throw their crappy weapons away!! IF it wasn't for superior German weapons and Tanks, WW II would have been over a lot before it actually did. Treyarch kept true to the spirit of the War-they have much better things to fix-like people with modded controllers, bayonet jumpers and other glitches!![/quote]
Hmm, I don't know, maybe there are 22 other guns that I'd rather use, and at the same time like it if at least one person on the enemy team used one of those 22?
The MP40 was the least powerful submachine gun in WWII. Last time I checked, a .45 caliber bullet has more stopping power than a 9mm pistol round. Guess what the Thompson fires? .45 caliber bullets.[/quote]

Ahh, I see-we should start using guns you like. Too good to use the MP 40 are we? And as for the Thompson, sure it had a higher rate of fire and it's .45 caliber round had more stopping power than the MP 40's 9 mm. You're forgetting one thing though, round velocity-the MP 40 round had a velocity of 380 m/sec compared to the slower Thompson round with 280 m/sec. That's why the Thompson was replaced by the M3. The thompson is also a lot heavier than the MP 40 and combined with a high rate of fire, heavy trigger pull and a stock with excessive drop, increases the tendency of the gun to climb off target in automatic fire-which is why most people use steady aim perk
- So yeah the MP 40 is more effective in run'n gun situations than the Thompson in spite of the obvious reasons you point out. -

Yeah, you guys should start using guns that I like. I like 27 guns in this game. There are 28 guns in this game. I wonder what that last one is... is it that one that I will never have a class for every again, and will never pick up ever again? I wonder what that one could be...
