The PPSH-41 - "Russian Burp" Gun
Have you heard of the "Burp Gun"?, no not the Grease gun. This Russian gun is rich with history. The sub-machinegun was used as a close-quarter gun during WWII by the Russians against the Germans. The Russian PPSh-41 was known to many as the "Burp Gun" due to the sound it made when fired. With an incredibly high cycling rate of around 1,000 rounds per minute, this submachine gun is incredible. The PPSH can fire from a stick magazine that holds 35 rounds or a drum magazine that holds 71 rounds. The light, recoiling cartridge allows for very controllable firing...
http://americanshootingjournal.com/p...-burp-gun/amp/ --------- Amazing weapon. The Red Army would have assault units armed with nothing but PPSH-41s. The design was selected in peacetime with an eye to mass production as it was a simple design with only 41 parts.

They had one on a table tied down with a chain at the 45th Infantry Museum in OKC. It was a heavy SOB. Wish they would have put their Stg. 44 out like that but they had a set of Kraut web gear for it so it was under glass with the uniform.

That raft is under a twin engine light bomber, a Tupolev Tu-2, the Soviets had.

Commie gun worked until it didn’t. They all work until they don’t. The PPSH was bad ass, no doubt about it!
