A fully loaded drum mag would take 71 rounds, there are 32 rounds left so someone fired 39 rounds and then stopped. Considering where it was mostly used and how inaccurate the weapon was compared to other weapon platforms around at the time, it is unlikely that whoever fired those rounds stopped because there was no longer a threat. Restoring this firearm is a real good way to show respect to someone's last moments.

You sell it short. It was probably the best, cheap SMG around at the time. It was good enough that the Wehrmacht issued them as standard to its troops even in the early 40s as it was better than anything they had as well as being available.

[@user-em9lm9us5k]

С такой скорострельностью как у него, хватало точности. С этого ПП стреляли не на дальность, в на среднюю дистанцию и ближнюю. Достаточно было той точности и скорострельности чтобы подавить врага

[@Destroyer94100]

Accuracy was fine considering the rate of fire this thing could output and it was perfect for close quarters which was ideal for the circumstances the soviets were in at the time. The thing you gotta remember is these things had to be manufactured consistently and hastily while the enemy was basically on their doorstep and what they achieved was an engineering miracle. This is a legendary weapon imo.

The solution is expensive and it can only hold a certain amount of rust per ml... So you want to get as much off as you can first. That means knocking all the dirt off then scraping all the rust below. I would also assume that in general if the solution gets saturated with dirt and other debris it will be less efficacious at holding rust.
