Yeah, not so much; I think Dunlap fell for hearsay, here. The MP43 I handled in Iraq (presumably from Syria…) was not that fragile–Nor were any of the others I’ve handled over the years.

Which is not to say that there weren’t some out there that were, just that I’ve never seen them. The weapon is admittedly prone to damage from abuse, but the raw fact is, you have to work at it to make it happen. As in, like use a hammer to dent or bend the sheet metal. Yeah, you could do that by going prone on top of it over some rocks, but… Not by having it fall over under its own weight.
