Having fired both the Thompson and the mp40 I think i might be able to give you a little insite to you question.

The thompson.

The weapon is heavy it feels like a rifle when you bring it up to your shoulder to fire but felt comfortable. I was able at 100 yards to keep a good group with short bursts of 4-5 rounds. Those bursts were easy to get off. I was able to fire single shoot easily too and they were quite acurate. The weapon climb was not bad at all mostly due to the weight of the gun helping to contol it.

The mp40

Very light. At the same range i was not able to keep a good grouping due to the fact that the ROF was to high the **** thing was spitting bullets like a SOB. The barrel climb was crazy and i'm not a small guy if any small planes had flown over our range i might have got me one(ok well it wasn't that bad).

Tactical use.

After having fired both weapons I would tend to say if i was in combat with the thompson i would aim due to the fact that i know that i would hit what i aimed at up to over 150yards. I can't say the same for the Mp40.

As for the sten gun i would compare it to the mp40 due to weight and ammo.
