Having shot both.  But own a MP40.   Well, that answers the question.  I can shoot my friends MP5 pretty much any time that I want.  Both have a certain cool factor.   But at the time, old school was what I could afford.  Plus I had always wanted one.

You can't put bakelite on an MP5 though.

I'd like to shoot an MP40 but rather own the MP5

The MP5 is better at literally everything.

Get both OP.

For practicality, the MP5 for sure.

For investment, I don't know.  There is a lot more room for an MP40 to rise in value than a MP5 (which is already at the time end of the subgun market.)  I don't know how much more the MP5 can go on an inflation-adjusted rate.

And lets not forget that you can get 2 MP40s for the price of one MP5 with sear pack.


But what do I know... I have a M10.

It comes in 10mm also.  Not just 9mm

Durability wise?  MP-40.

Modern practicality?  MP5

A good MP5 is also easier to shoot, is very accurate.  I prefer the full stock to the collapisble.

Now...Mp5 vs MP41?  THAT might be a hard choice.

I've played with both (don't own any NFA items so big grain of salt).

First off, both are Great, and are the top 3 of the SMGs I've shot (the other member being a Colt SMG).

I'd go MP5 just for the advancements, and the availability of parts. MP40 is still a great SMG though (and appears cheaper).

Either would put a big smile on my face.

So what would be the typical price for a decent, functioning MP40 these days?  
that would be my choice.
