PPSh-41

Soviet PPSh-41 Submachine Gun - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

Soviet PPSh-41 Submachine Gun with 35 round stick magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

File:PPSH-41 9MM CONVERSION.png

PPSh-41 with 9mm conversion, something that happened to captured PPSh-41s. The captured weapons were adopted by the Germans as the MP717(r) - 9x19mm Parabellum.

Information

The PPSh-41, "Pistolet Pulemyot Shpagina model of 1941", was a mass produced Submachine gun used by the Red Army during World War 2. Designed to be easier to manufacture and more reliable than the PPD-38/40 that it replaced, it was a great success in spite of its weight. This gun was used with a 71 round drum magazine, but since 1942 PPSh was also used with 35 round stick magazine, since the "disk" (as the Soviets preferred to call it) was heavy and hard to load. The PPSh-41 has become completely inseparable from the image of a generic WWII Red Army trooper, and thus is found on countless monuments.

PPS-43

Soviet PPS-43 Submachine Gun - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

Chinese Type 43 Submachine Gun PPS-43 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. This is virtually identical to the Soviet Model save for markings.

Information

During the siege of Leningrad, the PPS-43 "Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudaeva" submachine gun was developed. Manufactured entirely within the city under siege, it was lighter and easier to use than the PPSh-41, dispensing with the drum magazine in favor of the 35 round stick magazine. However, the design was virtually suppressed after the war, though some production did occur in Soviet satellite states. Note: The PPS-43 is commonly misidentified as the PPSh-43, which is incorrect, but understandable since it is a descendant of the PPSh-41.

Suomi KP/-31

Information

Suomi KP/-31 - 9x19mm Parabellum

Suomi KP/-31 (aka Suomi M/31), commonly known as Suomi submachine gun (Suomi konepistooli) in Finland, was a sub-machine gun based on the early Bergmann MP18 design. First designed in 1922, by Aimo J. Lahti, the gun was revealed to public in 1925. It is among one of the most successful gun designs of World War II, and many of the designs were later copied by the Soviets for their PPSh-41 and PPD-40 sub-machine guns. The Suomi (which means Finland) KP/-31 was in service in the Finnish Armed Forces from 1931 to the 1960's, when it finally became obsolete as the Rk 62 replaced it. Some special versions stayed in service through the 1980s.

Specifications

• Cartridge: 9x19mm Parabellum
• Action: Straight blowback
• Rate of fire: 750–900 rounds/min
• Muzzle velocity: 750–900 rounds/min
• Effective range: up to 500m
