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.

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.

Agree with the music suggestion. It definitely has to go. Just use the ambient sounds of the tools. You can then record room tone for 25 minutes and lay that “almost silent” sound underneath all your assembled edit clips on it’s own separate audio track. The audio will soften the room tone inconsistencies between your various clips and link them together audio wise.
