The MP-40 was a common German SMG. It did it's purpose and was carried quite a bit at least several soldiers in a squad during WWII. The best SMG which was present from 1943 was the Sturmgewehr 44. (You might have seen Brad Pitt carry one in the movie Fury.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44 It was a more controllable Machine Gun although it was catagorized under "Rifle" in the German armaments.
    yeah I've always had a soft spot for ww2 weapons and the Sturgewehr 44 is one of the coolest even if it was used by the nazi's

    The only way I can see us acquiring the mp-40 is from a prepper stash like some gun collector hide his stuff away so that the cult couldn't use it

    Although they did make a reproduction model in the states that was semi auto so maybe the cult bought some and has a gun smith within there ranks who could convert it to full auto

    Yup you're right. I recall that another manufacturer has GSM MP 40 replicas mostly in 9mm and another one is making them in .22. In fact I seem to recall that other German SMGs also are being remanufacturered as replicas now as well in the .22 cal. Guess that brings the price down to a more reasonable one.
