The PPS was developed in 1942, in response to the Red Army's call for a submachine gun that was lighter, more compact, and (most importantly) cheaper than the [[PPSh-41]].

The initial variant, dubbed the '''PPS-42''', saw around 45,000 units produced from 1942 to 1943.

PPS-42
The PPS submachine gun (Russian: Пистолет-пулемёт Судаева; Pistolet Pulemyot Sudayeva) is a Soviet submachine gun designed by Alexey Sudayev, based on an experimental submachine gun designed by Lieutenant Bezruchko-Vysotsky. The PPS was developed in 1942, in response to the Red Army's call for a submachine gun that was lighter, more compact, and (most importantly) cheaper than the PPSh-41. While prototypes were developed throughout the year, the first significant production of the PPS occurred during the Siege of Leningrad within the city itself. The initial variant, dubbed the PPS-42, saw around 45,000 units produced from 1942 to 1943. The PPS-42 can be distinguished by the separate shell ejector, 20 mm longer barrel and a barrel shroud separated from the receiver.

In 1943, the improved PPS-43 was developed with several major improvements, including a slightly shortened barrel and stock, an improved safety and stock locking mechanism, and relocation of the casing ejector. Approximately two million would be produced from 1943 to 1946. Copies were also produced on a large scale in China and Poland, and in smaller quantities throughout the Warsaw Pact. The Soviet Union phased out its PPS-43s by the 1960s, but the gun continues to see service all over the globe.
While sharing many similarities with Georgy Shpagin's PPSh-41, Sudayev's PPS-43 is ultimately a completely different weapon system. The PPS-43 shares no significant parts with the PPSh-41, including the magazine. Its 35-round magazine cannot be used in the PPSh-41, and vice versa. Drum magazines were also never developed for the PPS.
Note: The PPS-43 is commonly misnamed as the PPSh-43, which is incorrect.
