LE LOUP DES MERS Posted August 3, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2021 Hey guys check out my original ppsh-41 it's dated 1943, all matching numbers and the barrel is even marked very rare. It has no import stamp which leads me to believe it was a vet bring back. I only have one drum mag shown but I have a total of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE LOUP DES MERS Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted August 4, 2021 Yeah no problem, I can't believe how heavy the thing is even without a fully loaded drum mag, now I understand why soviets loved vodka lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custermen Posted December 18, 2021 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2021 What was the rate of fire? Here is an article that describes the use of this Machine-Pistol in a ground-attack airplane--named the Fire Hedgehog. This article says it fired a 7.62x25mm cartridge at a rate of fire of 900 rd/min. I didn't know this infantry weapon could fire that fast. The Russian used a TU-2 and mounted 88 PPSH-41 guns on a rack that was lifted into the belly of the bomber. It was arranged to fire downward at an angle. Each of the mounted submachine guns had only a 71-round drum magazine, which allowed just over 4 seconds of fire. Flying low at 250mph, it could fire 6,000 rounds to cover a space of about 1800 feet long and about 4 feet wide. The Rack of 88 guns. Link to War History OnLine article: Yes the Tu-2 ‘hedgehog’ could fire 79,200 rounds per minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LE LOUP DES MERS Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted December 23, 2021 I had no idea they used ppsh41s on aircraft interesting. But 900 is wrong, the ppsh41 has a rate of fire at 1250rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
