WAW is pretty well balanced, the MP40 is only good for CQB. Even then a Thompson with stopping power will kill in the same number of hits. So I don't know why people don't complain about the Thompson, it kills in the same number of hits as the MP40 (with stopping power), has a higher rate of fire, and lower recoil (the 20 rd. magazine doesn't matter as it has a very quick reload). When you unlock the Type 100, it's the same as the Thompson with a larger magazine. That spells out OVERPOWERED. So quit complaining about the MP40 on its own, there are many more overpowered weapons.
