This video delves into the Schmeisser MP41 submachine gun, clarifying common misconceptions. It explains that the MP41 is not merely an MP40 in a wooden stock but a hybrid design combining the MP40's upper receiver with the MP28's lower receiver, itself an evolution of Schmeisser's WWI MP18. A key distinction highlighted is the MP41's semi-automatic and full-automatic fire selector, absent in the MP40. While mechanically different, its handling, rate of fire (500 rpm), and weight (8.2 lbs) are similar to the MP40. The video notes the MP41's limited adoption by the German military, with most production (26,000 units in 1941, 1,800 in 1944) supplied to Romanian troops. The description also emphasizes Hugo Schmeisser's design role, justifying the "Schmeisser" designation.

This video provides a comparison and shooting experience of two World War II submachine guns: the German MP41 and the Italian Beretta 38/44. Both are described as typical submachine guns firing 9mm Luger from open bolts with fixed firing pins and blowback actions, featuring wooden stocks and bottom-mounted magazines. The MP41 has a semi/full selector, while the Beretta uses separate triggers. The reviewer expresses a personal preference for the Beretta 38/44 due to its shorter, handier feel and perceived controllability.
