The Stormtroopers are on the offence. You try halling around an MG08 into battle. The MP18 is a lightweight manuverable assult weapon and the is a big gatling gun sluggish but tough Deffence Weapon. The MP18 would see more use by the Stormtroopers than the big heavy MG08. Besides, it's between Special Weapons. It could work.
