You get to pick one small arm from world war 2 for self-defense;

Rules:

-For home defense

-No modern self-defense ammo, just more or less standard FMJ ammo that was used in the war (no hollow points due to Geneva convention or something like that).

-Can be fully automatic/whatever it was at the time.

-Try to consider over-penetration, neighbors, etc.

-The weapon and all the ammo is unlimited and free.

-Still have to follow self-defense laws

I think I would choose the MP40. It's one of the lightest SMGs, very little recoil, quite short with the stock folded, and is 9mm if you're into that. Most of the rest are either too heavy, too long, both, or shoot a less than ideal caliber. PPS-43 would be great except for the round. M1 carbine too, but semi-auto, and only 15 rounds.

Also the Italian Beretta Model 38 but it's an absolute beast.

Remember this isn't for combat, but self-defense.

A Scottish broadsword. Any miscer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.

M3 grease gun

Shorter than the thompson, folding stock, slower rate of fire so a mag would last longer, .45 > 9mm, and best of all it isn't a nazi gun

Walther PPK.

I own a West German made PPK, its realiable af, and super easy for concealed carry.

But if its for home defense would choose a Grease Gun or a MP40.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
