Whats the point of having "more technological" weapons if they are not reliable.......

I can only imagine how many German crews sat in a technologically advanced, broken down Panther while being confronted by the inferior T-34's.....

In my opinion the the mp-40 was better, I am not sure were you got the numbers on maximum range but it was 200m for both. The mp-40 was harder hitting and hard a larger caliber bullet, although the ppsh had a higher rate of fire.
I have read German accounts which would contradict the above. Many would leave their MP-40's behind after they would jam or freeze and grab the PPSH instead.
