Added discussion of MP 40 "tube guns" to "Civilian ownership in the United States" section.[edit]

Apologies if I did not initially provide a citation for the paragraph on tube guns, that has now been added. GMan552 (talk) 03:28, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Romania au folosit mp40 ?[edit]

da sau nu 2A02:2F01:8A0C:8500:793C:CECC:12D0:2937 (talk) 07:37, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vigneron can't use MP40 magazine?[edit]

The article on the Vigneron states very specifically that these similarly designed magazines are incompatible, and that the MP40 magazine will not work in the Vigneron. I have no knowledge or experience in this myself, but somewhere in one of the two articles there is some kind of error to be corrected. TooManyFingers (talk) 02:28, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usage in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war[edit]

It is fairly easy to find images online of soldiers in the war wielding the weapon. Namely a few reddit posts of Donbass(?) militants with the gun in full combat gear come up when you google the key words. I don't know if regular issuance is a prerequisite for having a conflict listed in the "conflicts" section, but I thought I'd draw attention to it. I see that the STG 44 article now has the Russo-Ukrainian war listed under its conflicts after a similar situation with a few pictures of it being used as a rear-line weapon circulated the internet.
