I'd take the MP-40 slightly over the 1928A-1 Thompson, due to larger magazine capacity (32 vs. 20 rds.) and lighter weight. But I could survive in hostile territory with either weapon, given sufficient extra loaded magazines. If I had the MP-40, I would also want a Walther P-38 for common ammo- if I had the Thompson, I would want a 1911-A-1, again for common ammo.The MP-44 is the best small-arm of WW2, and it saw more action than the Owen - so if you ask me it should be on the list, but nevermind.
If I had to choose between the above I think its going to be a tie between the Thompson and MP-40.
