The PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina machine pistol) was a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgi Shpagin as an inexpensive, simplified alternative to the PPD-40. Intended for use by minimally-trained conscript soldiers, the PPSh was a magazine-fed selective-fire submachine gun using an open-bolt, blowback action. Made largely of stamped steel, it had either a 35 round box or 71 round drum magazine, and fired the 7.62×25mm pistol round. The PPSh saw extensive combat use during World War II and the Korean War. This sub machine gun was capable of firing 900 rounds per minute.
