In movies and video games, soldiers usually incorrectly hold the MP40 by its magazine instead of its grip right above the trigger which is the proper way to hold it.  They also usually never fold out the stock.  I guess its because it makes the German Army look more like "gangsters" rather than soldiers.  Any trained soldier would know how to properly hold the gun.
