The item is an MP40 Submachine Gun accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom toy accessory modeled after the famous German MP40 (Maschinenpistole 40). It features the weapon’s iconic design elements: a long, straight box magazine extending downward, a distinct pistol grip, and the tubular receiver. The strut extending to the rear represents the gun’s folding metal stock.
Background: The MP40 was the standard submachine gun used by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge, it was widely issued to infantry squad leaders, paratroopers (Fallschirmjäger), and armored vehicle crews. It is one of the most recognizable weapons of the war, often incorrectly referred to as the “Schmeisser” by Allied soldiers (though Hugo Schmeisser did not design it). Its stamped steel construction and folding stock were innovative features for the time.
