About

Step back in time and experience the firepower that defined the battlefields of World War II with our immersive World War II Assault Machine Gun Package. Start off with the Thompson M1, famously known as the "Tommy Gun," the your weapon of choice for many American Soldiers. Its powerful .45 ACP rounds and unmistakable roar made it a favorite among Allied troops in close-quarters combat, delivering the stopping power needed to turn the tide of battle. Next, take up the M2 Carbine, a lightweight yet fierce companion that gave paratroopers and infantrymen the speed and versatility they needed to face down the enemy. With its rapid-fire capability, the M2 was crucial in skirmishes where every second counted.

Feel the tension of urban warfare as you handle the MP 40, the iconic submachine gun of the German Wehrmacht. Known for its compact design and precise fire, the MP 40 was a formidable opponent in the hands of Axis forces, striking fear into the hearts of those who faced it. You'll also get to wield the Sten MKV, a British innovation born from necessity. This submachine gun, with its simple yet effective design, played a vital role in the hands of Allied forces during the war's most intense street fighting. Finally, grip the rugged Grease Gun, officially known as the M3, a weapon that became synonymous with reliability under fire. This cost-effective submachine gun was the trusty sidearm of U.S. troops, its slow, steady rate of fire providing a dependable option in the chaos of battle.

The World War II Assault Machine Gun Package is not just about firing weapons; it's about connecting with history and understanding the tools that shaped one of the most pivotal conflicts in human history. Each firearm you handle tells a story of bravery, innovation, and the relentless push for victory.

WWII Assault Arsenal

  • Thompson M1 - The Thompson M1, famously known as the "Tommy Gun," was a symbol of American firepower during World War II. With its .45 ACP rounds and high rate of fire, this submachine gun was a favorite among U.S. soldiers, particularly in close-quarter battles where its stopping power and reliability were unmatched.
  • M2 Carbine – The M2 Carbine was an evolution of the M1 Carbine, providing soldiers with select-fire capability during WWII. Lightweight and easy to handle, the M2 Carbine became a versatile weapon for paratroopers and infantry alike, offering rapid fire in skirmishes and urban combat scenarios.
  • MP 40 – The MP 40 was the standard submachine gun of the German Wehrmacht, widely used by infantry, paratroopers, and officers. Its compact design and controllable rate of fire made it a formidable weapon in close-quarters combat, earning it a fearsome reputation on both the Eastern and Western Fronts.
  • Sten MKV – The Sten MKV was the British answer to the need for a cost-effective, reliable submachine gun during WWII.
