Amazing little gun. Only problem is the wondering how many men this thing may have killed. Once handled a 1941 MP40 and the same thought came mind. It was worse knowing it was used against the Allies.
Don't worry it probably hurt no-one. In Afgan and Iraq apparently 250,000 rounds fired for every one that was effective. Second World war 50,000 I think. I just love the design of that little rifle, a bit restricted by the round ,but heh, 200 yds is a long way.
