== Trivia ==
*In the Hours of Darkness expansion for Far Cry 5 the MP40 is among the weapons carried by Viet Cong forces, namely the Viet Cong Chargers.
**A "unique" version of the MP40 can be found in Colonel Loc's bunker at the Plantation House in the Hours of Darkness expansion, fitted with a suppressor, which helps maintain the stealth-based perks.
**The reason why a WW2 German weapon like MP40 ended up in Vietnam is because after the fall of Nazi Germany, post WW2 local German forces were upgraded to better weapons mostly came from East Germany, so to aid Vietnam in First Indochina War, East German and Soviet Union sent WW2 German weapons to PAVN forces.
**Colonial France invasion during First Indochina War also brought WW2 German weapons along, due to numerous Frech Foreign Legion members being German veterans of WW2, and many Legionaries changed side to help Vietnam fighting against colonial France invasion, which further increased MP40 use among PAVN forces. 
**MP40 still being used by Viet Cong in Vietnam War is history accurate, as many were veterans of First Indochina War and experienced with this weapon, the MP40 also fire 9x19mm Parabellum catridge, which was abundant and common enough for guerillas to afford.
* The description of the MP40 in Far Cry: New Dawn is inaccurate, as the MP40 was invented in World War 2, years after World War 1.
