“	The PPSh-41 is a Soviet-era open-bolt blowback sub-machine gun produced in vast quantities during World War 2. Due to its simplicity much like the AK and the availability of its ammunition, it has proved popular with rebel and insurgent groups. With its low recoil and extremely high rate of fire, this weapon is extremely effective at close ranges. It can also take the 35 round box magazine as well as the 71 round drum magazines.	„

• Can be fired on automatic and semi-automatic.
• The sights for the PPSh-41 include iron sights only.
• The PPSh-41 has a unique damage model and ballistic performance.
  • The iron sight allows the user to zero the rifle for different ranges (from 100m to 200m).
  • It shares its damage and range profile with Vz. 61 Škorpion, but with a much faster rate of fire, higher accuracy, and a faster muzzle velocity.
  • The 1000 rounds per minute rate of fire is one of the highest in the game. It can output serious firepower in close-quarter combat but makes the gun more difficult to control.

  • Submachine Guns are an excellent weapon for close-quarters fighting but do poorly at longer ranges.

History

The PPSh-41 is a Soviet blowback action, open-bolt submachine gun. The PPSh-41 was designed by Georgy Shpagin in 1941 and was adopted by the Soviet Army in the same year. The PPSh-41 was created to replace the PPD-40 submachine gun since it was deemed too expensive and difficult to manufacture, especially in large numbers since the Soviet Union was at war at the time. The PPSh-41 was extensively used during World War II and the Korean War. The PPSh-41 ended its military service in the Soviet Army sometime in the 1960s. The PPSh-41 was eventually used by militia forces and insurgents, even to this day.

Trivia

• The abbreviation PPSh from PPSh-41 stands for pistolet-pulemyot Shpagina (Пистолет-пулемёт Шпагина) which means "Shpagin's machine pistol". 41 stands for the year the PPSh-41 was designed, which is 1941.
• A common nickname for the PPSh-41 is pepesha (папаша), which comes from the three letter prefix PPSh and means "daddy" in Russian.
