Okay, first of all the Mauser is intended to be a single shot weapon. That's what it's design specs were. America was the first country to have a successful semi-automatic rifle, so yes they have the advantage in this respect. Doesn't make the Mauser worthless without a scope, as it still fires a 7.62mm round and is very accurate. The MP-40 has quite a bit of kick, since it's such a lightweight weapon, nonetheless it is still a useful weapon. I prefer it over the thompson, but the tommy gun is a bit heavier and thus it won't jump around in your hands as much.
