One of the reasons both guns (mainly the MP40) were known for jamming was due to the improper use of the magazine as a hand grip, causing the magazine to slightly pull out, the bullet to misfeed and the gun to jam.

All in all, you can, but it's not proper...[/quote]

I don't know where you got this information, but the US issued M3 and M3A1 used the magazine as a forward grip--as noted in the US Army FM 23-41. The German issued Mp-40 also used the forward magazine as a grip, as noted in the "Maschinenpistole 40 - Beschreibung, handhabunge, und behandlungsanleitung" manual. There were no reports of misfeeds jamming due to this.
