Weapon damage data (as dictated by the server) from ET g_weapon.c lines 2777-2834. As you can see, the MP40 and Thompson are the same in this regard:
// JPW
// mechanism allows different weapon damage for single/multiplayer; we want "balanced" weapons
// in multiplayer but don't want to alter the existing single-player damage items that have already
// been changed
//
// KLUDGE/FIXME: also modded #defines below to become macros that call this fn for minimal impact elsewhere
//
