The British and American machine guns were no match for the German light machine guns. This is not just an opinion but it is based on facts. Their rate of fire of the German guns were higher. The BAR held only a 20 round clip. The German light MGs were not as heavy. The American Thompson and the British Sten gun were pretty good weapons but still not better than the German MP40 machine pistol. If it wasn't for the American M-1 Garand rifles, the German rifle company would probably have had more fire-power than the American rifle company. Another factor when comparing weapons is their reliability and serviceablity as to how they performed in the field when exposed to water, dirt, sand and mud. The American Model 1911 pistol could withstand much more abuse than the fragile Lugar pistol. That is my opinion.
