Description

Denix have produced this reproduction of the PPSh-41 assault submachine gun, made of metal and wood with a fabric and leather strap, with simulated loading and firing mechanism and removable magazine.

The PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina), designed by Georgi Shpagin, was a magazine-fed, mass recoil-fired automatic submachine gun that fired from an open bolt. It used 7.62 x 25 Tokarev ammunition and had magazines in the form of a 71-round drum or 35-round curved magazines, with a rate of 900 rounds / min. It also had a hinged receiver for easy disassembly and cleaning.

Due to its robustness and reliability, it was one of the main light weapons of the Soviet army during World War II, becoming a symbol of its great victory over Germany. During this conflict, the PPSh-41 was mainly used, and an estimated 6 million units entered service, with which entire divisions were armed.

Did you know that during World War II, on many occasions, German soldiers preferred to use the PPSh-41 submachine guns that they captured from the Soviets because the magazine had a greater capacity and, also fired without problems even the Mauser pistol cartridges?

Also, in the Korean War, the USSR supplied large quantities of the PPSh-41 submachine gun and in Vietnam it was used as a weapon by the Viet Cong and communist guerrillas around the world.
