: A few comments on the comments: The important detail here is that it was
: adopted in 1938. Accounting for the time needed to standardize and
: distribute production documents and tooling, plus time needed to produce
: enough complete units and spare parts for general issue, it's not likely
: that many combat units could get the P38 in the same year it was approved.
: For comparison my Swedish Mauser is of a pattern 'adopted' in 1896, but the
: earliest production specimens date to 1898.
: Considering how obscure the P4 is to begin with, I wonder how Jones(?) even
: knew about it. Perhaps he was acquainted with someone who owned one?
: The MP41 was a rather rare item, and could be charitably described as the
: upper half of an MP40 mashed onto the lower half of an MP28. It never saw
: general issue with the German army, though SS and police units apparently
: used it, and production was discontinued after the owner of the MP40
: patents sued for infringement. Even if Pathways were set circa 1942, the
: MP41 wouldn't be a likely choice.
I'd also like to note that the P4 looks a fair bit different than the P38 (which the handgun in Pathways is); the P4 has a shorter barrel that doesn't extend past the slide unlike the P38. I also noted on the rarity of the MP-41 in an earlier post of mine.
