The Iconic "Burp Gun" - Shooting the PPSh-41

/ forgottenweapons
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg...
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!

There's a Finnish guy on KZbin 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 kzbin.info

[@Iceman_zZz]

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.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

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.

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.

[@SuperIv7]

@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 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.

@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.

[@edyslavico3761]

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.

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.

[@coenijn]

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.

[@19Koty96]

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.

[@Papperlapappmaul]

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.

I saw this man cheat death time after time at the siege of Stalingrad. As long as he lives, the heart of this army cannot be broken. He makes us all proud.

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.

[@stormthrush37]

Interesting analysis of the controllability of super high fire rates! Thanks for sharing.

[@gizelefs7899]

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.

When you realize that the WWII Soviet SMG shoots faster than your P90

[@BigWheel.]

The ergonomics on your p90 are much better. P90 ergonomics are fantastic, it feels like it was made to be held and shouldered.

UnclePutte don't you mean gopnika and the three commisars tovarishch?

The term is gopnitsa (го́пница). But in this situation I think a better adjustment would be to replace Goldilocks with "Imperialbeard"... although it does not feel as fitting in describing Ian.

[@Oliverdobbins]

The thing I found fascinating in this video was in the slo-mo shots. After the second round and onwards, the amount of flex in the whole thing was amazing!

[@nindger4270]

Holy shit how that receiver jumps around in its stock

[@farcticox1409]

just what I was thinking, the flex when it gets to the second shot !

[@johnm3907]

Yeah why is the first shot less harsh?

[@nindger4270]

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?

[@johnm3907]

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

[@farcticox1409]

yes, pretty violent when it hits the back stop/buffer on a full stroke

[@stanleystrycharz2572]

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!

[@jcurbin305]

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.🤔

The way it flexes, crazy 01:50 to 02:07 I don't think I've seen a gun flex that much before!

[@user-fc7oq1vn9m]

It is common for WWII guns. For example, SVT-40 flexes even more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KyapWipJ2nhZY&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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2m7f3R6ZdaEfc0

You havent seen many guns fired in slomo then, its pretty common. The AK wobbles so much it looks like a liquid lol.

[@barafundlebumbler]

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)

[@macmurfy2jka]

I saw this as well

[@aserta]

First is a release, second and after are gas action.

[@alimanski7941]

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.

[@ePiiCeaglepwner]

underpowered ammo i would think.

[@AsbestosMuffins]

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

[@versoarmamentcompany]

Great video

[@panzershock441]

Im always marveled at how much all the individual parts of the gun shake like theyre going to break apart when firing.

whats interesting to note is that there is no real recoil until the bolt handle smacks the end, you can see this in 3:43, where the bolt handle doesnt quite reach the end and the gun doesnt shake at all, yet in the next bullet, it smacks the end and it rattles the gun, I didnt know this but its pretty cool

Love these guns, they don't really move or climb at all when you shoot them.. just kind of sits still and lightly vibrates.
