The MP40 was invented in 1940 by the Germans.
The first operational MP40 prototype was created by Erma Werke firearms LTD in 1938, though the gun wasn't introduced to the Wehrmacht until the following year, during the invasion of Poland in September of '39.
The MP40 utilized 9x19 Parabellums - standard 9mm rounds.
The MP40 was almost 33 inches with the stock extended (about 25in with it folded).
The DEMIL code is used by the Department of Defense. If the MP40 sub machine gun was issued through the Department of Defense then there will be a DEMIL code assigned to the weapon.
The MP40 utilized 9mm bullets, in a 32-round stick magazine.
The 'MP' in 'MP40' stands for maschinenpistole. The number '40' refers to the fact that it was the 40th machine pistol prototype.
