I've got a PPSH-41 and this video is absolutely WRONG about it not having a selector switch. The selector switch is the thing in front of the trigger inside the trigger guard. Forward is full auto and back is semi auto. I have videos posted with my family and friends firing it on full auto.
The part about there being no selector switch and the later versions having the box magazine are incorrect. The vast majority of PPSh-41s produced had fire selectors. Along with that, most men equipped with a PPSh were issued a couple drum magazines and then several box magazines.
@Pest789 yeh sorry mate I'll delete the comment for wrong info. I was told this by someone else and now after 4 months of russian weapon interest and research, I forgot I had posted this as wrong. I'll check ur vids :)

Hah they forgot to say that the germans developed this gun at the end of WW 1 but the allies were so afraid of it that they baned the germans of ever thinking of it again lol. Russians came and took the idea lol.
@GeneralBlackNorway are you refering to the mp 18 by chance? if you are, that gun was infulenced to build all the submachine guns of ww2 mainly because it was the FIRST sub machine gun ever made, however the ppsh looks, fires, and handles much differently the the mp 18
@GeneralBlackNorway ya no worries i mix up some guns quite often (i.e mp-18 and the mp-28) as for who came up with the design for the papasha (ppsh-41) i cant think of his name, but he was very brilliant thats for sure.
@VegaSec Ummm... NO! The Suomikonepistooli was exactly the same shape and functions as the Russian PPSH, Russia just made a mass production version of it.
@Horrorlord1 Please go to the library or if you are to lazy too, wiki it. The Soviets were "inspired" by the Fin's Suomi.
-The barrel of the Suomi isnt chrome-lined.
-PPSh-41 is chambered for a smaller caliber.
-The Suomi doesn't have a compensator.
-The Suomi doesn't have a hinged reciever.
The list goes on. Shape and function can be emulated. So please don't generalize. Its like saying the AK-47 is a copy of the STG-44... which ofcoarse it isn't.
@VegaSec Though to be fair, from what I understand a good portion of the people who worked on the STG-44 were captured by the Soviets at the end of the war and ended up helping Kalashnikov design the AK-47. It may not be a copy, but the STG likely served as a good foundation to design a superior rifle.
@Yorsefener the drum mag jammed often. in the end it came down to having 75 bullets,jamming and taking 5 minutes to shhot again. or just having the 31 shots able to be fired clip after clip
@LTPRICE1112 i donnu made, shooting 75 shots with a single magazine and let it jam is still faster than shooting 2 seperate magazines and reload them...
it also helps the soldier's accuracy since he doesn't need to stop and reload and thus lose hit target with the drum magazine.
not to mention that many soldiers died before they even managed to empty a single magazine :(
@Yorsefener because The russian soldier can cary more ammo this way. The most drum magazines you can realisticly carry with all your other equipment is two. You can carry 6 or more 31 round magazines with less of a weight penalty.
@Yorsefener To conserve ammo and cut costs ammo costs money and takes resources neither of which is infinite towards the end of the war Russia was broke....
@bangbangshow I know this weapon from firing one myself, and seeing it used by the Al-Qaeda and other groups in Iraq, funny story, these weren't just used in WWII and Call of Duty, they are being used in Iraq and Afghanistan by insurgent groups.
This gun is indeed a copy of Suomi SMG. Not as good though as the russian engineers hadn't enough skill to make them as good. As a payback for raping this cool gun, finnish people have made a copy of russians beloved AK-47, which in theory could easily match any other modern day assault rifle. In finnish army this gun is known as RK95, otherwise GK99.
First of all that is BS. Second of all Suomi SMG did indeed look a lot like the German Bergmann MP18 and MP28 that came before it. A lot of early submachineguns looked very similar and were influenced one way or another.
Also it's complete BS that the russians engineers didn't have enough skill to make them as good. Really? They first actually made the PPD-40, which was fine but way too expensive to manafacture. That's where the Suomi M31's biggest flaw was.Too expensive to mass-p
In an all out total war a weapon needed to be fast to produce, reliable and fairly cheap. Therefore they abandoned the PPD-40 and made the simplified PPSh-41, of which over 6 millions were made, more than any other submachine gun in the entire war.
The British realized the same when they made the Sten. Cheap, simple and quick to produce (thought not as reliable as the Ppsh-41).
The German soldiers used all Ppsh41's they could get their hands on,and many prefered them to the MP40.
Ppsh-41 was made with finnish blueprints (with small changes to them). Guy who gave the blueprints to the russians was a spy called Vilho Pentikäinen.
Wait . . . it fired only on full auto??? Are you sure, a few sites which I generally look up for info suggest otherwise, so . . . what is with this contradiction?
The Suomi KP/-31 is regarded by many as one of the most successful submachine guns of World War II and it was so successful that many of its features (including the soon developed 71-round drum magazine) were later copied and adopted by the Soviets for their PPD-40 and PPSh-41 submachine guns.
If I was asked to recall an event signifficantly connected to a certain firearm it would rather be the battle of Königgrätz or as the frogs call it Sadowa.
Instead of hating on call of duty, you should be thanking it! I'm 15 years old, and yes i play cod, but i would have never thought i would be interested in this kind of stuff until i started playing it. I actually found this video by searching "ww2 gun history" not anything about cod
For every 15 year old like you (with proper grammar and a good head on his shoulders), there are 20,000 15 year olds that type like orangutans with bagels for fingers, and act like they are the ultimate experts on fire-arm knowledge
@kimbrough32 same here when I got a copy of call of duty 3 I was like what makes these submachine guns so different so I looked up the Thompson and found out that there was different models for it and alot of guns do to like the M16 the M4 the FAL there are so many guns in this world that i want to learn about all of them
If your European and don't speak German,You can thank this S.M.G.! This is the gun that beat Hitler!(However Finnish S,M,G.'s though expensive were incredibly accurate and reliable).
God what a stupid mistake for going against Russia! There army was so massive that they had 1 million man charges. If Hitler didn't go for Russia, the Allies would have lost the war.
@cajoby Hitler attacked the Russians because he was sure the Red Army was so badly led that it would collapse easily - he thought this because just before he invaded the USSR, the Red Army had fought the Finns. The Finns lost 25,000 men compared to 220,000 Soviet dead in four months!
The Finnish M/44 submachine gun developed during 1943-44 at Tikkakoski OY, Finnish arms-making company, as alternative to to overly costly Suomi submachine gun. This weapon in fact was a reverse-engineered copy of Soviet Sudaev PPS-43 submachine gun.
maybe, but red army were recrutiting soldiers, their training level were very low. They have might even taken young boys from families and given them mosin nagant and told them just how to reload and fire
Germans were well trained, but MP40 sucked at winter so they took some ppsh from dead russians. Officer's didnt accept that, because it was against the rules.
Point of making STEn MK.II was that it was cheap to manufacture, it used the german MP40 magazines and it was powerful. And Sten Mk.II S was the first suppressed submachinegun in WWII
they made only 400 000 Strumgewehrs, but thats good number of built in year :) Germans used PPSh's but they couldn't keep them because the warlaw disallowed illegal guns. MP40 was more powerful thatn ppsh but ppsh had the drum magazine. that made ppsh shine.
actually the MP40 tended to freeze and jam in the extremely cold winters on the Eastern Front, and therefore many German troops prefered using captured Ppsh41's to their own MP40's.
the magazine of the MP40 was particularly prone to trouble when things got cold and dirty
71 rounds was restricted to drums, and I don't think many soldiers carried more drums than stick magazines. But still, I would choose the PPSh-41 over every other WWII SMG.
Why are people complaining about the translator? I can understand him fine.

It stopped the F****g invaders so I guess someone realized that the Aimo Lahti design works fine.

FFS. That's like a nerd being proud of a Polystation.
The ppsh was a blatant ripoff of the Finnish M/31.

when it's internals are significantly different?
time and time again it has proven the internals are different on the Stg44 and AK47 too.
If a Ferrari 599GTB is very similar looking to a Toyota Supra, does that mean Ferrari copied the Supra??
The finnish M/31 was in that case ripoff of the German Bergmann MP28, with bits taken from the Thompson too
have you ANY idea how many arms are influenced by others? the Springfield 1903 rifle was so similar to the German Mauser, Mauser sued them

Hugo Schmeisser M18 was Mother of M/31.

Point of making STEn MK.II was that it was cheap to manufacture, it used the german MP40 magazines and it was powerful. And Sten Mk.II S was the first suppressed submachinegun in WWII

The Mosin Nagant wasen't crappy. They have different roles. If you had to shoot at targets at 200m-400ms, the PPSH wouldin't have that much use.

Mosin is good, only if the shooter has aiming skills.

stg44 the best. mp40 great all around. m1928 thompson the SEXIEST...yeah. ppsh41 cheapest.

yo wats wrong wit u the ppsh was the most brolic and the strongest
sparta7042 2 years ago
there were never near enough stg44's
mp40's didn'rt work very well in freezing conditions on the Eastern Front, fact is many German soldiers prefered using captured Ppsh41's
4 million Ppsh41's were made in the war, 1 million Thomspons and not even a million MP40's
cheap to manafacture, reliable, lots bullets and a high rate of fire=ideal for WW2

@AlexDeLarge90
they made only 400 000 Strumgewehrs, but thats good number of built in year :) Germans used PPSh's but they couldn't keep them because the warlaw disallowed illegal guns. MP40 was more powerful thatn ppsh but ppsh had the drum magazine. that made ppsh shine.
gongels94 1 year ago
actually the MP40 tended to freeze and jam in the extremely cold winters on the Eastern Front, and therefore many German troops prefered using captured Ppsh41's to their own MP40's.
the magazine of the MP40 was particularly prone to trouble when things got cold and dirty

The PPSh 41 can hold 71 bullets, The MP40 can hold 32 and thompson only 20, what's the best choice?
MyraiTrunks 2 years ago 6
71 rounds was restricted to drums, and I don't think many soldiers carried more drums than stick magazines. But still, I would choose the PPSh-41 over every other WWII SMG.
qwastic 2 years ago
@MyraiTrunks and the best choice will be a PPS-43 holds 32 round and is lighter cheaper AND more reliable than any of those :P
