The Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun is most distinctive for its very high rate of fire - approximately 1250 rounds/minute - and large drum magazine. What may come as a surprise to those who have not tried it is how this very high rate of fire does not actually make the weapon difficult to control or hold on target. In fact, the PPSh-41 is an easier SMG to shoot effectively than the later PPS-43, at leas tin my opinion.
The Soviets and the Germans make quite different choices in magazines and rate of fire with the PPSh and the MP40, but both turned out to be very good submachine guns. The glaring weak point of the PPSh are its magazines, and the difficulty in finding a drum that would run reliably in this particular example is why today's shooting session is done with one of the 35-round stick magazines instead.
Thanks to Marstar for letting me examine and shoot their PPSh-41!

I can imagine a Soviet version of Goldilocks and the three bears, or Ivan and the three PPSH-41's, This mag too tight, This mag too loose, this mag just right!
Weaponsandstuff93
that why fins are just welding rings on mags so that soldiers can simply rope them and keep their own. Simply solution. Though it probably is the exact result of all this expirience with those smgs:D
There's a Finnish guy on TH-cam who I watch a fair bit and while he was hiking through some woods he was talking about his bench he made and wouldn't it be terrible if the 3 bears where sitting on his nice bench with Goldilocks head on a stick. Funny guy actually I think Finnish humour is my sort of thing. It's this guy not sure which video though th-cam.com/users/Helsinkipop
Or more accurately, this is why they made the magazines interchangeable... And had mag loops to tie the mags to a belt, as no pouch for the mags was available. Please remember that the PPSH drum mag is a soviet copy of the KP-31 mag.
I imagine that the Finns probably had better quality control though as mentioned in the last video due to smaller factory output of the mags, I know with my PPSh-41 that the drum mag it has barely fits into the mag well, it almost needs lube to go in, no rattle whatsoever when it's in there though.
Looks like a great channel, will give him a sub.
"Comrade Stalin, we have new gun for war"
"Da, how it works?"
"It shoots fast."
"Good enough"
Shoots fast and can be mass produced such that entire platoons could be armed with them. Five times as many PPSh's were produced as MP-40s. Quantity has a quality all its own, and it's how the Red Army kicked the shit out of the Wehrmacht.
God, you guys are whiny. Just face the facts:This gun is awesome.
Ibrahim Awad German tank advances frequently had to halt due to the infantry not being able to catch up, because at its peak, about only 10 percent of the German army was motorized. Germans were still using horses in a time where every other country was motorizing it’s infantry. Yes, some German tactical doctrines were revolutionary, like their ideas about machine gunners, but others weren’t so, blitzkrieg was a flawed plan that only really worked due to just them being lucky. and another thing, German industry wasn’t as advanced as you claim. let’s look at Germany’s tank forces. by the time of operation Barbarossa, 50 percent if not more of the German armored forces were captured from other countries, that’s why you see French and Czech tanks on the eastern front. Even the legendary tiger and panther had numerous issues, they often broke down before reaching the front, guzzled gas that Germany didn’t have a lot of, the production lines were so unstandardized that they couldn’t come out with tanks efficiently enough. you know what happened to the first shipment of panther tanks to the eastern front? They caught fire getting off the train because the panther had a problem on inclines of gas rolling into the engine. Ask most serious historians on world war 2, they’ll tell you a lot of the German army was laughable.
@@BigMikeMcBastard if by "kicked the shit out of" you mean "sufferring several times higher losses and basically winning thanks to lend lease and Germany fighting a war on 2 fronts, then yes. It doesn't change the fact that soviet engineering was a lot better than people think, and in many aspects soviet weaponary was really damn good.
@Ethan Weight Where did you get that nonsense from? In 1939 the population of the Soviet Union was ~169mln ppl. At the same time Germany proper had the population of 70mln, which effectively increased to ~87mln after Germany annexed Austria and other territories with mostly german population. So you start with less than 2x total population advantage for the Soviet Union. On top of that by 1941 Germany occupied most of the Europe, with Italy, Hungary, and Romania being direct allies with nazi-leaning governments and total population under effective Hitler's control far exceeding that of the Soviet Union. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, you had the *coalition* with troops not only from Germany, but also from all aforementioned countries - Italy, Romania, Hungary + individual formations from most other European countries served on the German side over the war. Furthermore, within 6 months the Soviet Union lost most of its western territories with the highest population density, including Ukraine and Belorussia - tens of millions of people. Furthermore, over the course of war Nazi exterminated ~15mln Soviet civilians. You are probably mixing Soviet Union with the British Empire, which in 1939 had well in excess of half-a-billion people under its control.
It's weird how wobbly guns look in slow motion. This comical almost-flying-apart-look.
I does absorb the kinetic forces though
It's especially weird when you see certain longer guns firing in slow motion and you can see the barrel harmonics-the way the barrel actually bends and flexes, and enough to send a bullet WAAAAY off target if the timing weren't right, but the engineering is such that the bullet leaves the barrel at just the right moment when the barrel is perfectly aligned, hence the "harmonics" bit. Resonance.
It's their arms and wobby bits that get me
You look way less cool when your arms and cheeks are wibbling back and forth
I'm assuming it works the same way as swords. If the metal is too meleaable/bendy, it's not effective at causing damage as a melee weapon, and I assume it would just plain make a gun not work. If it's too strong, it's easier to either shatter or chip off parts of it.
@@magikbullet5570 from what I know from scallagrim's and shad's channels your dead on about the sword bit.
"German are having the fastest MG right now"
"We have the handheld version"
In 2009, I was the US Army advisor to an Iraqi COL who carried this instead of a sidearm everywhere he went.
When I asked him why, he let me fire it.
Unbelievable in simplicity, sevicability, controllability, ruggedness and "punch". IMHO, the best submachine gun of the war, hands down.
I don't have any experience with Sub-machineguns (Only British L85A2) But God damn this PPSh-41 looks lethal at close range. It even looks relatively light compared to the Thompson/MP40
@@tbrowniscool The thing that makes me sit up is that not only do people say it's fairly easy for conscripts to get hits with, the 7.62x25 it fires is only a little weaker than .357 magnum. I wonder if it could be considered to be kinda straddling the border of PDW like the M1 carbine

North Korea uses the shit from the 70s because they can't afford quality, they even use anti rocket systems from the 70s.
@Owen Yin the thing is the older the parts the less reliable they become and having rocket tracking systhems from the 70s and other equipment from that era lacks in reliability and due to the fact that those are old soviet things( Russia at that time weren't the best in making high quality and sometimes spared extra effort by doing things not completely through)I wouldn't consider myself lucky.Theoretically you would be better of if you would use an M1 Carbine and that is litterally an oversized Pistol.
That gun reminds me of the old circus stall that had the B.B. guns that had a really high rate of fire that you had to shoot out the star on a peice of paper.
allan fulton they still have them in Atlantic City NJ
toomanyaccounts With this,you could probably tear down the stall.
I suspect most people are paying a buck or two just to spray a bunch of BB's downrange. Heck they even load the gun with all those freaking BB's for you. What a deal!
Yeah the one near me had a Tommy gun version and it was so insulting that they don't even trust you to load the gun yourself not only that but the stars are just ironically sized so you run out of ammo just before you cut it out.
All of you have it wrong. It's actually impossible to cut out the star because of tension on the paper. Once you get to a certain point, the BBs no longer cut the paper because there's not tension left. It simply pushes the paper without damaging it...that being said I still love playing with the full auto BB gun :)

Yep
Same, literally was just commenting that.
Anyone notice how when he first shoots it, he seems to overcompensate for recoil and actually moves DOWN? This gun must be smooth as fuck. Impressive.
@Vicks VaporRub it was obviously a good class build
I think it's from the open bolt slamming forward. Generally open bolts tend to make it bounce just slightly forward or down when it's fired. So he might be expecting a jump up from the shot but it's lessened by that bolt hitting
@Vicks VaporRub it started on 1941, hence the 41 in its name, so it's turning 80 this year.
@@jordanwootton3567 Yeah, it's a thing you see in people shooting open bolt subguns in general. The bolt has a lot of mass and it slamming forward moves the center of gravity forward, tipping the gun down.
No that's very much recoil that causes the depression

In the movie "Stalingrad" a German soldier hands one of these to a comrade, saying "Here, use this. They work better than ours".
I have edited this comment because I now know the defintion to 'comrade' the orginal message was
Comrade means friend right?
@@jerry0331 Comrade means associate in a profession or activism.
Ouh yeah saw that one
@Muster Gwarfield I believe it depends on which weapons you are talking about. Generally (as in Stalingrad and today with the AK 47) Russian weapons have been made "looser" so they will not freeze up or get fouled. If you are talking about in the ETO you are generally not talking about bitter cold temps and German weapons would be seen as reliable by Allied soldiers under those circumstances.
I can explain: as you can see the PPSH-41 is more indicated for close range spraydowns and that would happen often in the alleys or the buildings of Stalingrad.
Having something like more than 1000 RPM is going to mow down enemies quicker than an MP-40 with 650 RPM.
But in another situation (fighting in plains or hills or in trenches) the MP-40 was better as it was way more accurate.
Notices Ian is shooting the PPSh-41 left handed. The top ejection port means it is probably one of the more left-hand 'friendly' of the pre-cold war era guns. It seemed like there wasn't too many that had this taken into consideration during WWI/WWII
Unless it affected your ability to kill it wasn't really a concern. If you were left handed you had to adapt or get used to hot brass getting flung into your face if your commanding officer even allowed to you to shoulder it to the left. And that doesn't even get into how nobody cares about your hearing.
This thing is gonna be all over factory in early wipe.

Does the PPSh 41 have asbestos in it?
Nice video, it’s a pleasure to listen to you and to learn about every details of the ppsh-41 , we feel you very passionate and that’s why this video is so good. Thanks it’s hard to find non-boring video about weapons on TH-cam.
The "brake" at the end of thr barrel shroud does an amazing job you can see it forcing the barrel back down as it fires
I absolutely love that gun. The simplicity, ruggedness, ease of manufacturing, and controllability are just awesome. Thanks for the great content, Ian!
Sorry,but this gun is nothing special. Every simple blowback gun is easy to make, it's quite bulky because of its fixed wooden stock, it breaks easily (I have no idea why it's widely regarded as indestructible) and as you can see, the Russians couldn't manage to set up proper production lines which causes these ridiculous mag issues which Ian adressed.
Robuster Polonier they were under a war footing. If it had been desgined and made in peace time it would have been better QC
Alistair Shaw Not only that but before Stalin came to power Russia had hardly any heavy or manufacturing industry, at least compared to Germany. You can rightfully hate Stalin for the atrocities he committed, but his program of rapid and massive industrialization was a good idea. But Russians weren't familiar with that and they rushed it and that's why you get these flaws.
eh, it's a bit more complicated than that
The production tolerances were a bit more loose, as Ian says. That was intentional, to speed up the production. However, they then went and matched magazines to guns. Each gun would get two drums assigned to it before leaving the factory. If you loose them, you were in a lot of trouble.
Robuster Polonier
I actually agree with most of your points. It really isn't anything special in the great scheme of things, but I just have some sort of partly irrational obsession with the PPSh-41.
I usually prefer telescoping bolt subguns with folding stocks and pistol grips but something about the PPSh just does it for me.
To my eye it's infinitely more beautiful than say the Thompson or other subguns that are generally regarded as good-looking.

Ppsh is pronounsed as pe-pe-sha. This abbreviation consists of three Russian letters ППШ, where Ш = SHA
A Russian speaker heard me call it "Pa-pa-sha" and told me the same. The soldiers were very attached to their Pe-pe-shas. Put a lot of Nazis into the ground.
@@jamallabarge2665 pa pa sha was a nickname for the ppsh. It means dad (papa)
@@burana96 I used the name "papa-sha" in front of a Red Army Vet from 2nd world war. He was wounded in action twice. Cause of his Jewish blood they kept pushing him to the front, knew he wouldn't surrender. He did not like Soviets.
I said that term, he said "Peh-peh-sheh". Interesting dude, smart as hell.
@@jamallabarge2665 Sorry I'm not sure if you're denying that people called it "pa pa sha" which roughly translates to daddy? But the correct russian pronounciation is "pe-pe-sha" (пе пе ша).
@@burana96
I'm saying that I used to call it "Pa pa sha" until a Red Army Vet corrected me.
American soldiers used to call the M-60 Machine gun "the pig". So I'm not surprised that Soviet soldiers had a pet name for the gun that won the Eastern Front.
The Nazis confiscated PPSh-41s and rebarrelled them for 9mm Luger. Which to me shows how good they were for everyone.
Ian, thanks for everything you do, I just wish everyone who likes to shoot was able to try these sub guns like you were able to do. Yes, there are events and places that give us the chance to try these weapons, but sadly, they are far away from where I live.

I have been waiting for you to cover this gun! It is one of my favorites! A beast it is!
I find your observations on controlability and easy accuracy in full auto at 100 to 150 yard ranges to be spot-on from my experience. Both of your vids on this weapon are excellent.
By far hands down my fav weapon of all time thanks Ian that's awsome!!!!! I appricate you

In Soviet Russia, you do not control firearm, firearm controls you.

Interesting analysis of the controllability of super high fire rates! Thanks for sharing.
4:20 this explanation looks like a resonance frequency of a system made of the shooter body + weapon with a excitation by the rate of fire. This is a nice perspective. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from France 🇫🇷
I love how inconsistent the ejection is in the slo-mo at 1:50. The first empty comes out and just kind of hangs around; the second one zooms straight past it and, evidently, into orbit, while the first one is still on the screen when the third one comes hurtling out. :)
You have to wonder at the age of the ammo , some sounded a litttle off . Cheers
Sure would have been sweet to demonstrate how easy it is to stay on target if you had some down range clips, even if you were dirt shooting we could see what was going on.
CLIPS?! How about some downrange MAGAZINES!!!
But seriously, good suggestion. Downrange footage would be cool
bass779

If the dudes that use them call them clips, then I think it's okay to call them clips even though we all know they're magazines. :) Clippazines!
Agreed.
Has anyone seen the clup of Hickok45 shooting the PPSH41 in Texas? It's easy to find.
He did his normal routine of shooting cinder blocks and soft drink bottles at 20-30 yards and, clearly, struggled to keep the gun on target at even those ranges.
Most would agree Hickok45 is a better than average shot!
The slow-mo footage is great! I love how, on the first round, the bolt come gingerly back and then the next round has the receiver jumping out of the stock.
The first shell casing at 1:48 was like "where do I go?" and the second one zoomed by like "Zis way, Comrade!"
Da comrade

Nice job as always.
Of all the WW2 subguns ive personally fired, the PPsh was my favorite.
The US Thompson was a pleasure to fire but a nightmare to actually use. Its extremely heavy and awkward to operate. Its accurate but probably my least favorite to actually fight with despite the .45 acp power.
The Grease gun was just OK considering it looks and feels like its made from leftover plumbing parts.
The German MP-40 was good as was the STG 44 but heavy.
But the little PPsh was ergonomic, controllable, not to heavy and accurate out to 150 yds or so.
Definetely the one Id choose if i had to go into battle.
hold 'er Newt, shes rearin' ? the m3 grease gun is a great weapon for its purpose
what about the STEN? truly a beautiful and reliable weapon.....
Polkka - very true. but i never got the chance to fire a STEN back to back with the others so although i liked it when i did fire it i didnt feel it was a fair comparison.

THIS VIDEO GOT IN MY RECMENND AFTER THE SEASON IN WARZONE
Almost everyone got it 🤣
Every time a new cold war gun comes out i always get recommended this channel and i love it
Really cool video. It's interesting to see these old war relics operate. With this weapon I think the 7.62x25 cartridge was loaded to a higher pressure than that intended for pistols. If the cartridges intended for the ppsh-41 were used in a pistol there was a risk of breaking the pistol. I may be wrong but there are interesting stories of such things happening with surplus ammo used in pistols. Only the cz-52 with it's roller locked breach could safely handle the smg ammunition. Might be an interesting thing to look into? Awesome videos!
I believe that most of that hot ammo was Bulgarian made. Also, I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading that, besides the CZ, the Romanian TTC could also handle the higher pressures somehow. I wonder how well the new production Zastava M57 holds up with the hot ammo.🤔

great video
starting to love when these trend every time call of duty releases a new weapon
Starting to be pretty annoyed reading this fucking comment 76 times per video though.
the first shots in Slo mo didnt seem to push the bolt back the full way compared to the ferocirty of the rest of the shots. what causes this? ( i have no real idea about guns, i just love this channel and the history behind weaponry)
I saw this as well
First is a release, second and after are gas action.
What do you mean "release"? The recoil from the first shot should, theoretically, be the same as the second shot yet the bolt doesn't throw as hard back as the next shots.
underpowered ammo i would think.
al the buffer is clearly not working all that much and the bolt is maintaining a lot of inertia and is bouncing off the back of the receiver instead of coming neatly to a stop and being brought forward by the spring. So the thing speeds up as it goes along
Thank you for the school review man😁👍
Thanks for the vid sir.
FFS I reloaded this video like 5 times due to no sound before finding out you uploaded firing with no sound 🤷🏻♂️

Rumor has it, you are a very good shooter. As well as a good instructor.
The way it flexes, crazy 01:50 to 02:07 I don't think I've seen a gun flex that much before!
It is common for WWII guns. For example, SVT-40 flexes even more: th-cam.com/video/Q1O9blo8tO4/w-d-xo.html&t=1479
P.S. This is actually very good film about WWII guns in Russian, but if you interested in video - here is second part: th-cam.com/video/I8XNAD0qQGk/w-d-xo.html
You havent seen many guns fired in slomo then, its pretty common. The AK wobbles so much it looks like a liquid lol.
Андрей Иванов - Thanks Andrew, quite interesting. :-)
sergeantbigmac - True, I only watch Ian's channel for guns, I just thought it looked quite wobbly in slow-mo.
You think thats a lot of flex? wait till you see what a chromebook motherboard can do.
Can't wait for the kid to say: ThAt Is ThE GuN FrOm WaRzOnE!1!1!1!
Hardly forgotten but great
I read a book series years ago, Vampire earth by EE Knight and the hero David Valentine ends up with one of these in the second book if memory serves and I've always wanted one since I read them.
Ian is the man! Thanks for the content sir
Holy shit how that receiver jumps around in its stock
just what I was thinking, the flex when it gets to the second shot !
Yeah why is the first shot less harsh?
Huh..interesting, I hadn't even noticed that until now. The bolt seems to slow down quite a bit before impacting the rear end of the receiver on the first shot, doesn't it?
Robin Schuhmacher yeah it looks like the bolt isnt compleatly to the rear while its cocked, funny the things that show up in slow motion
yes, pretty violent when it hits the back stop/buffer on a full stroke
This is absolutely amazing how this gun have almost no recoil. :o
Sounds buttery smooth...
Love these guns, they don't really move or climb at all when you shoot them.. just kind of sits still and lightly vibrates.
5:27 "Oooooooh Yaaaaaaa" Mr Coolade man.
That casual mag flip at 0:54 tho
Im always marveled at how much all the individual parts of the gun shake like theyre going to break apart when firing.
Can’t wait to buy one
That's interesting that this ppsh with a higher rof is more controllable than a lower rof ppsh43. I guess this is a lesson in gun-cycle harmonics!
Just got this when ppsh came out in cold war
Good job on giving us the real story behind the gun history.
Every time you fire it I just want to give the video another thumbs up but realize I already did XD
Short bursts at a high rate has got to be good. Practice makes perfect.
Imagine the heavily modified stendo magazine up to 200 round, *it nearly beats minigun in terms of supressive fire XD*
Though it has a chance of melting/self-disassembling somewhere in the middle of that 200r. ))
@@user-lm1gl5dg5y when you reassemble it, it is just cool enough to start shooting again
Love these things
Such a beautiful gun, in my opinion.
My gramps had one of these in the Red Army in the 50's. Sometimes he had to sleep in his uniform with 2 drums clipped to his belt haha.
2 drums? Sounds hella unpractical, given the weight of a single fully loaded drum
@@LET4M4RU I imagine it's not much more impractical than having 4-6 stick mags in your pockets.
@@talknight2 well regular infantrymen usually carry 3 to 4 full mags in their pouches, usually wore on the chest, so that they are not wobbling around and most importantly they are easy to carry.
Not that I doubt your gramps did that, that is totally plausible given the fucking willpower of the Red Army, but damn from what I know, a full drum weights around 2kgs each, 4Kg to your belt must bet quite the hassle
