I recently made this video of my latest PPSh-41. It's from 1944. I'm no professional speaker or photographer, so please go easy on me guys ;) I just like sharing my toys and hobby with people.
I wanted to also include some pictures showing the different markings on 4 different PPSh-41s. It's interesting seeing how different the guns were marked. I'm a history buff, so I eat shit like this up haha. 2 of these are amnesty registered C&Rs of mine, and the other two are from Russian parts kits from WW2. I know the logo for the 2 C&R guns is Molot. What about the two parts kit's logos? I thought this was interesting, and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy! The sad thing is that the guns that were cut up into parts kits look like they are in unissued condition, unlike the C&R guns. Sad.....very sad..... C&R 1944 PPSh-41 Video

Nice!
We found one in a guy's house in Sadr City with all matching numbers in damn fine condition. It was destroyed a few days later by order of the BN commander. 
I managed to get an assload of pics for posterity, though. |

Do you have a drum for it?
And can we be friends IRL? |

Love that cartridge.
It says something when Finnish and German Commando units would carry these as their preferred shoulder-fired weapons for most dudes, both nations knowing how poor Russian manufacturing was and having laundry lists of jokes about Russian garbage. It was the closest thing to an intermediate cartridge before intermediate cartridges became more common. The penetration from 7.62x25 is impressive compared to straight walled pistol cartridges. Effective range is more like 200m, as opposed to 50m for 9mm SMG's. |

My gun also loves the Rommy stuff and it was very cheap when I bought 10 cases of it. I've never shot mine with the stick mags only the drums. Mine is a reweld though but looks brand new and is built from Polish parts. I still need to get a loader for the stick mags but I built a "winder" loader for the drums that make it easier to load them and also Soumi drums. Is that a public range that allows MGs? Where is it located in Texas, always looking for other ranges to shoot my MGs at. I'm guessing by your videos it might be central Texas area. |

It's been posted before, but it always bares (bears? I'm never sure which to use) repeating;
“Ask a Soviet engineer to design a pair of shoes and he’ll come up with something that looks like the boxes that the shoes came in; ask him to make something that will massacre Germans, and he turns into Thomas Fucking Edison.”

Shot em in both tokarev and 9mm. Handled very nice for such rudimentary fabrication.

In one of your videos you mention about the changing rate of fire with it.
In my experience firing them its actually the magazine that would cause it. In the early 2000s we PACT timed one and noticed with a certain magazines it was pretty steady, with some of the others it fluctuated. The ones that it fluctuated on seemed to have a lot stiffer springs. Basically as the magazine emptied the force rounds against the feed lips would get less and it would speed up. Could be some thing you could test out. |

Dont get me wrong, it's a fun bullet hose and the built in brake and weight make it a pussycat to shoot, but the sterling is still my fave.

I think it was late '42 they stopped manufacturing the drum magazines and issued only the stick mags. Reliability issues with the drums.
By the end of the war, one battalion in a rifle regiment were only issued PPSH's. |

The gun my grandpa went to war with. I've only laid my hands on a closed bolt semi auto abomination with a 16" barrel.
Awesome video. Keep that thing forever. |

I'd pick a swedish K before the sterling. Then, maybe the sterling. |

The open bolts are fun to shoot, you know when you've shot the last round.....
The heavy bolt sort of pulls you forward. |
