And after he said that were still back debating minor stats.
The ppsh-41 SMG fired 7,62x25 and mp40 SMG fired 9x19mm ammo
The M3 and Thompson fired .45 cal.
BIG difference when it comes to knocking someone down.
Since we don't have numbers that start at say... 50 for what we use now for 5 we cannot split hairs too much ( we cannot make one gun a 52 and another a 57 ) so the decision was made at some point way in the past that the ppsh-41 and the mp40 would be 5 and the heavier .45 cal SMG's would be a 6. Now, some could argue ( becasue that's what some people do ) that the higher ROF for the PPS should give it an edge on the MP40 so if the MP40 is 5....what's the PPsh ? 6? If the faster firing ppsh-41 is a 6 what's the slower firing M3 firing an undeniably a better man stopper .45 cal round ? A 6 as well ? Or do we downgrade the M3 to a five but wait..... we cannot do that or the M3 ends up with the same HEK as the MP40 with it's pathetic little 9mm round ? No... I guess we make the M3 a 6 but now what to do with the Thompson ? If a 400 rpm M3 is a 6 then the 700 RPM Thompson "Has" to be a 7 ??
NO it doesn't so it was decided quite some time ago that the ppsh-41 and the MP40's are 5 and the M3 and Thompson are a 6.
OK?
Play the game, it's more fun that debating stats
