The MP 40 descended from its predecessor, the MP 38. The MP 36, a prototype made of machined steel, was developed independently by Erma's Berthold Geipel with funding from the German Army. It took design elements from Heinrich Vollmer's VPM 1930 and EMP. Vollmer then worked on Berthold Geipel's MP 36 and in 1938 submitted a prototype to answer a request from the German Armament services for a new submachine gun, which was adopted as MP 38. The MP 38 was a simplification of the MP 36, as the MP 40 was a further simplification of the MP 38, with certain cost-saving alterations, notably in the use of more pressed rather than machined parts.
