Rivals Shpagin submachine gun. Part two

98
26 April 1942, the war has been going on for almost a year. The Red Army was able to recover from the unsuccessful start of the war, with the upcoming summer campaign and the Red Army and the Wehrmacht pin great hopes. At the same time, in the rear, the evacuated Soviet industry is increasing the output of military products, so necessary to the front. Gunsmith designers also work and develop new models based on real combat experience. weaponsincluding submachine guns. The second stage of the competition for the creation of a new submachine gun for the Red Army took place from April 26 to May 12 1942. It was then that the star of Alexei Ivanovich Sudayev and his brainchild - PPS rose.

Alexey Ivanovich Sudaev entered history small arms as the creator of one of the best submachine guns of the Second World War. He was the first of the Soviet designers in the 1944 year created a prototype of a machine gun chambered for 7,62x39 mm. Submitted by him in 1942 for testing the submachine gun was not inferior in combat qualities to the models of Degtyarev and Shpagin, but with the equipped magazine it was lighter than 1,7-1,8 kg, demanded in the manufacture of 2 times less metal and 3 times less labor costs.

Automation PPP worked under the scheme with a free gate. For firing from a submachine gun 7,62 × 25 TT cartridges were used. Shooting from PPP was conducted with an open shutter. Used trigger mechanism allowed firing only in automatic mode - bursts. The fuse was in front of the trigger guard. In the forward martial position of the submachine gun Sudaev's fuse was transferred by pressing the index finger before placing it on the trigger. The Soudaev submachine gun consisted of a barrel, a stamped receiver box, connected to the barrel casing by welding and riveting, a fire control handle and a butt. The metal butt of the submachine gun was made collapsible, it was folded up on the receiver box. Folding butt reduced the length of the weapon, which was one of the advantages of the model.

To improve the accuracy of fire on it was used a simple but quite effective muzzle brake-compensator. Sights PPP consisted of a fly and flip-pillar, which was designed for distances 100 and 200 meters, these fixed positions were designated as "10" and "20". The most effective was shooting short bursts of 2-5 shots. The power of a submachine gun was carried out from box magazines with a capacity of 35 cartridges. At the same time, they were not interchangeable with PCA stores and had an outlet on the 2 cartridge, which greatly facilitated the process of their equipment and provided the weapon with greater reliability of work.

28 July 1942, the Sudaev submachine gun under the designation PPS-42 was put into service, and after some improvements in the 1943, it received a new designation PPS-43. Production of small arms was initially deployed in besieged Leningrad. The city was surrounded by enemy troops, the supply of weapons to it was hampered, and the front demanded replenishment. From the end of 1942 to June 1943, Alexey Sudayev worked in the besieged city. In this case, the designer did not sit out in the rear, he repeatedly traveled to the operating units at the Oranienbaum bridgehead and the Karelian Isthmus to look at his weapon in action. I communicated with fighters, listened to their wishes and comments. After these meetings, he made changes to the design of his weapon, if they were really useful. And although the PPS did not become as famous as the PPSH, during the war years they produced a sufficiently large number, more than 500 thousand PPS-42 and PPS-43.

His future submachine gun Sudaeva secured himself in a fairly tough competition. At the second stage of the competition for the new submachine gun for the Red Army, which was held from April 26 to 12 May 1942, 7 samples were presented:

1. Degtyarev PDM (KB plant number 2 named Kirkizh) number X NUMX and number X NUMX.
2. Bezruchko-Vysotsky PPV (Artakademiya).
3. Zaitsev (OKE. A. Nudelman) 16 and 1 samples.
4. Sudaeva (SCI).
5. Korovin (KB plant number XXUMX).
6. Rukavishnikova (SCA).
7. Ogorodova (NKVD).

PPS-42 and PPS-43


Already at the testing stage of the presented samples by firing it turned out that only Bezruchko-Vysotsky, Degtyaryov, Korovin, Rukavishnikov and Sudayev models would be allowed to further tests. So Ogorodova submachine gun was not debugged, giving up to 7,5% of delays, and its important details were not thermally processed, which led to the failure of the weapon after the 120 shots. The Zaitsev submachine gun was also incomplete, sample No. XXUMX gave 1% of delays, and sample No. XXUMX gave 15,4%, which was the reason for their removal from testing. The submachine gun presented by Rukavishnikov gave 2% delays when tested by shooting, however, due to the overall originality of the design, significantly different from other samples, he was admitted to some further tests to determine the accuracy of the fight, the effect of different conditions on the operation of its automation and others specifications. This was to help deal with the feasibility of further refinement of this sample.

Tests of the second stage of the competition for a new submachine gun were carried out under conditions that were as close as possible to the actual combat situation, based on the fire training course - KOP-38 and real combat episodes of the ongoing war. So, among other things, weapons were tested from a moving tank, and one of the tasks simulated an attack by partisans on a German convoy. During the tests, the best accuracy was shown by the Korovin submachine gun, followed by the Sudaev submachine gun with a slight margin. The members of the commission also checked the convenience of firing submachine guns in various positions of the shooter. The leader here was a modernized Degtyarev submachine gun. But the faculty also showed itself very well, limiting itself to the following remark: “Weapons are docile, but the draft of the butt creates inconvenience when using the handle. Uneven pace and uneven blows to the shooter's shoulder. The slot of the pillar is rather small, the eye is tired. The rest of the faculty does not create any inconvenience to the fighter when firing in all positions. "

The test program even included such an item as the convenience of firing a submachine gun from a tree. At the same time, the comments of the commission members arose only on the model of Bezruchko-Vysotsky, who was shaking badly, and on the model of Degyatrev, because of possible cases of pushing the shop latch by the knot that served as an arrow pointing, which led to the loss of the store. And when testing with a tank armor, oddly enough, the worst result was demonstrated by a sample of the Bezruchko-Vysotsky design, despite the fact that it was the only submachine gun with a tank stop. The best were the designs of Sudayev and Korovin.

Submachine gun system Bezruchko-Vysotsky


The next stage, which again sifted out part of the competitors, was the test of the reliability of the automation and the survivability of the weapon. Shooting at the survivability of a submachine gun was carried out with normal lubrication with short bursts and whole shops (on 30-35 cartridges) until 15 thousand shots were reached. After every 150 of shots, the barrel of the weapon cooled, after one thousand shots were completed, inspection, cleaning and lubrication of the submachine gun followed. The control shooting of weapons on the accuracy of the battle was repeated through 5 thousands of shots. At this stage, the Tula sample of Korovin was cut off, which gave 4,7% delays during 3917 shots. The reason, according to testers, was the wrong choice designer size of the chamber.

In the process of testing the survivability of weapons from samples of Bezruchko-Vysotsky, Degtyarev and Sudayev, the accuracy of the battle was checked every 5 thousand shots (3 series on 20 cartridges on 100 meters with a single fire from the stop). By the time the tests were completed, the accuracy of combat at the Degtyaryov and Sudayev submachine guns remained at about the same level, and in the Bezruchko-Vysotsky sample, it deteriorated approximately 2 times to 10 thousands of shots and 4 times to 15 thousands of shots. The deterioration of the accuracy of the battle in this model submachine gun depended solely on the wear of the barrel due to its poor condition. In the end result, only three samples were allowed to test for reliability: Bezruchko-Vysotsky, Degtyarev and Sudayev.

The conditions of this test were as follows:
1. Firing at elevation and declination angles close to 90 degrees.
2. Firing a weapon after dusting it with cement dust in a special box and blowing it with furs for 5 minutes while the sample is on one side and 5 minutes on the other side (the sample was lying on stands without touching the bottom, the store was inserted, spare stores were also in dust box with sample).
3. Firing when washed with kerosene and wiped dry parts of weapons.
4. Firing with grease guns guns.

The best results on the results of tests for reliability were shown by two submachine guns - Bezruchko-Vysotsky and Sudayev. At the same time, the results of the Sudayev submachine gun were particularly prominent. 15 405 shots were fired from the weapon and total 0,19% delays were received. Of these, with normal lubrication - 13 985 shots and 0,18% delays, under various conditions - 1420 shots with 0,3% delays.

PPSH-2


For a better test of the operation of the automatics, the samples of Bezruchko-Vysotsky and Sudayev were subjected to additional tests: 1) shooting cartridges that were heated in a thermostat to + 60 degrees Celsius. The only result of this test was a reduction in the rate of fire of the Bezruchko-Vysotsky submachine gun; 2) shooting with the overcoming of a water obstacle by the shooter and the subsequent crawling along the sandy stretch of the coast. It turned out that the design of Sudayev was more reliable, the submachine gun was less sensitive to the ingress of sand. At the same time, the Bezruchko-Vysotsky submachine gun refused to work in all cases, and only after washing it in water again was it operational. Especially testers noted the unsatisfactory fastening of the lid of the shop in a Bezruchko-Vysotsky submachine gun. After testing for serviceability (throws from a two-meter height onto two types of surface: pavement, paved with sandstone and tamped sandy soil), the sample of Sudayev turned out to be better.

An important fact, which was established during the tests, was the unequivocal conclusion of the commission about the advantages of stores with double-row cartridges from both their reliability and the convenience of equipping such stores.

The tests of submachine guns would not have been completed without the new Shpagin model. From 30 May to 2 June, additional tests of its PPSH-2 were conducted at the NIHTPL. This submachine gun used automatics with a free gate. The fire from it was conducted from the open bolt, firing was allowed only in automatic mode. The role of the fuse on the PPSH-2 was performed by a folding dust cover of the groove for the charging handle, which had two cutouts for fixing the handle when the cover is closed and the front or back position of the weapon shutter. Meals were supplied from double row detachable box stores. The butt of the submachine gun was wooden, detachable (such a decision was considered by the military as a lack of weapons due to the possibility of losing the butt in battle), while PPSH-2 could shoot with the butt removed. In the design of the submachine gun was widely used stamping from steel sheet, on the muzzle of the barrel there was a compensator toss the barrel.

The technological assessment of the new challenger has shown that a worthy competitor has appeared in the competition for a new submachine gun for the Red Army. In the opinion of experts about this sample, it was said that it possesses better indicators than the sample of Sudayev, with the exception of efficiency and metal consumption, where PPP is better. Also PPSH-2 showed a lower rate of fire and the best indicators of survivability and the number of costs. However, a significant lack of weapons was low accuracy when firing bursts. According to the testers, this was due to the fact that the designer unsuccessfully selected the dimensions of the wooden butt and used the unfortunate construction of the compensator.

The results of the second stage of the competition and additional tests with the participation of PPSH-2 were reviewed by a special plenum of the Artillery Committee of the Red Army Army GAN 17 on June 1942. At the same time, there was no unambiguous decision in favor of one or another sample. The Sudaev submachine gun was a little better in terms of “combat” indicators, and the PPSH-2 was slightly better in terms of technology. Both options still required some refinement, and the designers promised to bring their samples to the mind and meet the tactical and technical requirements as soon as possible. As a result, the final selection of a new submachine gun for the Red Army was again delayed.

As a result, the final “race” with the participation of the last applicants took place from 17 to 21 in July 1942. Both samples were tested on a special program of the Artillery Committee GAU. The tests were quite tough: the samples had to be dragged 10-15 meters across the sand with a rope tied to the butt, then wipe the bore and shoot: 70 shots (2 magazine). Also, the testers checked the reliability of the automatics of the weapon by making 1000 shots from each submachine gun without first cleaning the weapon and without interruptions designed to cool the barrel in the process of firing. The reliability of the automatic operation of the weapon at very low temperatures was also checked. Submachine guns were cleaned, lubricated with winter rifle grease and placed in a box with carbon dioxide at a temperature of -50 degrees Celsius, where they held 2 hours. Equipped shops were attached to the weapon. And if the freeze test could not withstand both submachine guns, the firing on reliability showed a clear superiority of the Sudayev system. When the weapon was contaminated with fine sand, the PPSH-2 gave 12,7% delays (147 to 1153 shots), and the future PPP - only 5,9% (68 to 1155 shots).

It is safe to say that it was this test that was decisive in the fate of the future faculty. Commission members concluded that the new Shpagin PPSH-2 submachine gun, in terms of the number of delays when firing under conditions of heavy pollution, did not withstand competitive tests. At the same time, the competition between the two designers started at the test site was transferred to the bureaucratic / paper plane, where not only the results obtained were important, but also the posts of supporters of a particular model of a submachine gun. In this regard, PPSH-2 did everything quite well, since the People's Commissar of Arms of Ustinov personally acted as his advocate. As a result, JV Stalin was personally able to resolve the dispute between two designers, who ordered to issue for the military tests on 1000 pieces of submachine guns of both models. In this case, the final choice in favor of PPP was made already in 1943 year. And he justified himself: the submachine gun remained in service after the end of the Second World War. And his copies were made not only in the countries of the socialist camp, but also in Finland, Germany and Spain. In the last two countries, the Finnish version of the 9х19 mm cartridge was issued in small batches.

    PPS in all respects exceeded PPSh - both in combat, and in technological, and in economic terms. And he went in "small" series only because it was risky to readjust production during the war.

      On the contrary: the most balanced cartridge! I'm going to use it in my double-barreled recoilless machine gun for UAVs for "harassing" fire on barmaley and shaitanmobiles, as well as as a fighter for similar UAVs. The main thing is the selection of the length of the barrel and the gas outlet automation (a lot of useful energy is lost on the free bolt). The effective range is planned at 300-500m, but the caliber allows you to have on board bоlower ammunition, and relatively weak energy - and lower returns, which VERY important for LA. I will try to level these additional returns with a satisfactory level. No one has ever proposed such kinematics. Strategic partners for cooperation are invited.

          Judging by you, the 5,45x39 cartridge should not exist at all.

        Place the machine gun vis-a-vis backwards as in TU-2Sh, recoil will slow down the UAV, but rather push it. For example, the gun in the A-10 directed forward greatly interferes with the piloting of the aircraft. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger#.D0.9E.D1.82.D0.B4.D0.B0.D1.87.D0.B0

          To shoot down similar UAVs, and possibly cruise missiles, a turret is needed. Although for barmaleys and shaitanmobiles, the installation will be initially stationary.
          The problem is not to stop the UAV, but to withdraw from the line of sight, destroying vibrations. So the TT cartridge is just balanced both in the range of the direct shot and in minimizing the recoil, i.e. accuracy.
          And instead of dozens of machine guns on one aircraft, it is easier and more reliable to make dozens of aircraft (UAVs) themselves - they will still be shot down, this is a consumable for almost 1-2 departure. So I proceeded from this concept.
          But there will also be analogues of the S-8, S-8K and "air-to-air" - i.e. a complete set for any purpose.

      So the faculty converted to 9mm at first the Finns, then, from the Finnish pitch, the Spaniards began to produce it at 9mm. Well, the border guards of the FRG armed themselves with the 9mm clone of the PPS.

        In order to understand the purpose of the 7,65 × 25 mm Borchardt cartridge (the pedigree of the 7,62x25 mm TT cartridge comes from it), you need to know at least 1 thing out of two:
        1. Why the pistol was created (in the advertisement they wrote a pistol-carbine) Borchardt C93 and the cartridge for it. And it was created as "the best weapon of travelers". Those. it was no longer an army weapon. So, shoot a trifle for dinner, and drive the savages away.
        2. At least the basics of wound ballistics.
        You have no knowledge of the points above. From this and this is your constant discomfort.

        At the same time, the cartridge line must be redone. And somehow not completely, some of the weapons will still be in the caliber of 7,62 mm. But this is already a big problem, because cartridge lines need two.
        By the way, all the "extremely successful and legendary" weapons on the TT cartridge after the war and as a result of the war were asked from the army with a kick. What is it for?

      By the way, according to the results of the war, the Soviet vandervafles on such a cartridge from the army flooded everything. Have you ever wondered why this is?

          No, my dear, your "logic" does not work.
          They also shot down the grand colossal TT pistol on the same cartridge. At the same time, strangely enough, the pistols in the army themselves were not canceled. Those. not only the submachine guns were flooded, but in general everything that was on the TT cartridge.

        At the same time, the cartridge line must be redone. And somehow not completely, some of the weapons will still be in the caliber of 7,62 mm. But this is already a big problem, because cartridge lines need two.

        Only in the union, however, they were not really worried about this - Yuryuzan riveted TT cartridges and guns until the end of the 80s, the TT was in service in the rear units until the beginning of the 90s.
        As for the results of the war and the "removal from service" of the TT cartridge following the results of the war, the infantryman's standard weapon was to be an automatic rifle and a self-loading carbine under 7,62X39 with the simultaneous withdrawal from the weapon system of rifles and Mosin carbines and submachine guns, as a result, and the pistol cartridge became needed only for pistols, and just after the war, the power of the TTeshny cartridge exclusively for the pistol was considered excessive and they decided to develop a pistol according to a simpler free-slide scheme. Initially, three cartridges were planned for testing 7,65x17, 9X17, and at that time only the projected 9X18 with the maximum possible energy for a free shutter.
        So for the year that you graze on VO knowledge you have not increased, only collected a collection of nicknames, it’s good to at least once again have a barrel organ about the effective range of PPSh of 30 meters. laughing

          Only this does not seem to be true, if the gun is good, then why change it? Let me remind you that the TT cartridge was taken to the TT pistol, and the submachine gun, this is a by-product, leaning against the main one only from the side. So, the problems were in the cartridge itself, because this is the most important thing in small arms. And the calculations clearly demonstrate that rubbish was the cartridge of the TT for the army. And from this all the weapons on it. Designed for hunting gophers, it was not categorically suitable for the army.

      I will add that this PP was the most popular among scouts and crews of tanks due to its low weight and dimensions.
      In addition, PPP was a great success in other countries:
      Finland - in 1944, at the Tikkakoski factory under the m / 44 brand, production of the 9-mm PPS-43 modification (chambered for the 9 × 19 mm Luger cartridge) was launched, using stores from Suomi. In total, about 10,4 thousand units were produced. such submachine guns. In 1957-1958, m / 44 was in service with Finnish UN peacekeepers on the Sinai Peninsula.

      The Finnish variant m / 44 was produced under license by small parties in West Germany and Spain under the designation DUX 53 and in 1953-1959 was in service with the German border guard (Bundesgrenzschutz).

      NDP - under the name "PPS wz.1943 / 1952" from 1948 to 1955, an option was made with an awkward wooden butt instead of a folding shoulder rest.

      PRC - after the end of World War II, it was produced under the name "Type 54". Minor changes were made to the design and production technology due to adaptation to the characteristics of Chinese industry.

      DPRK - was produced after the end of World War II.

      Yugoslavia - supplies for the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia began in 1944, after the war remained in service under the name Automat 7.62 mm PPS M43 (s)

      AND OH HORROR !!! The third Reich - captured troopers under the name Maschinenpistole 719 (r) entered service with the Wehrmacht, SS and other paramilitary groups of Nazi Germany and its satellites. By the end of the war, German factories began to master the production of PPS-43 clones under the name MP-709 due to the fact that resources for the war were already chronically inadequate, PPS required little metal, and labor costs for its production were not at all comparable with other samples of the same German small arms. This is especially for those who believe that the faculty can only fill up the rabbit.

      Mr. Operator. I hasten to inform you that:
      1. The standard range of submachine guns is and was a distance of about 100 m. By the way, it is the poet SMG Thompson called SMG, not MP. And SMG is translated, not as a submachine gun, as it is customary to "translate" in Runet.
      2. For army (and hunting) weapons there is such an indicator as "lethal range". Simply because a gopher or a person is different in structure from a piece of paper on a shooting range. So, the German MP40 has this range of about 60 m. Rubbish, not a submachine gun. And for PPSh it is 35 m. Therefore, it is "legendary". What is the demand from the legend?
      Quote: Operator
      only until the appearance of machines using a cartridge of 7,62x39 mm.

      But what about the TT pistol on the TT cartridge?
      By the way, I hope you are aware that the "assault rifles" on the 7,62x39 mm cartridge are actually not automatic weapons, but self-loading weapons with the ability to conduct automatic fire at close ones (submachine guns, that is, about 100 m) distances.

        Damn, you have forgotten how to read Russian - the aiming range from PPSh and PPS was not 100, but 200 meters, which was ensured by the initial speed of the 7,62-mm bullet in 500 m / s.
        The slop MP-40 submachine gun used by the Wehrmacht and your UPA had an aiming range of only 50 meters, which was determined by the braking initial velocity of the 9-mm bullet in 380 m / s.
        Those. at a distance of over 50 meters, no more / less stopping effect could be exerted by the 9-mm bullet by definition. And an army battle, unlike police operations, is fought precisely at great distances.

        You should at least watch the Soviet and modern chronicle of firing from AK-47 / AKM or recall the presence of a fighter with SVD in the rifle compartment (not to mention familiarizing yourself with the instructions of the SA on the tactics of battle of the rifle compartment) before flogging nonsense about the mission of the AK-47 / AKM for conducting a single fire in self-loading mode.

          Yes? Are you firmly convinced of this? If I were you, I would not be in this not that firm, but generally sure. In addition, at 60 m, such a bad and weak bullet, with a high-quality hit (not right through, not tangentially), in any place was guaranteed to bring down the enemy to death. And at the PPSh, with its powerful and strong bullet, this effect was observed only at 35 meters. In addition, the PPSh bullet had a tendency to penetrate right through, and this is already a marriage in the "work" of army weapons.

And the AK-47 / AKM is an assault (i.e., weakened, defective army) self-loading rifle with the ability to conduct automatic fire (usually at close range). By the way, the AK-47 / AKM concept itself was very strange and it had no analogues in the world (except for Germany during the Second World War). Of course, such originality turned into a complete collapse of this concept in the 70s of the last century. The world, it is also not made up of fools, they also understand what is needed for the army and how.

            The aiming range of firing from an army manual automatic small arms is determined not by your inventions, but by the throwing range of a grenade (40 meters or less) and the range of firing from self-loading manual small arms (300 meters or more). In this regard, the PPSh / PPS covered fire with a distance of 200-40 = 160 meters, and the slop MP-40 only 50-40 = 10 meters.

            If the suckers from ERMA attached to the MP-40 a retractable sight at 200 meters, then this only means that only an artilleryman by training could aim at the declared distance with a low-speed bullet bully

            In the instructions of the US Army 1960-1980, the M16 is called an assault rifle in order to distinguish it from the M14 automatic rifle, which was withdrawn from the army only in the 1990's. In the English and Russian-language special literature, the M16 is still called an assault with the aim of distinguishing it from the automatic rifles G3, FAL, CETME and others remaining in service with many countries.

            And AK-47 / AKM according to Soviet GOST is not called a rifle, but an automatic rifle, based on the length of its barrel in calibers - for you rogul, apparently, is a big surprise, as well as the fact that the capabilities of AK-47 were consciously sharpened by automatic fire from uncomfortable positions.

              In fact, when firing single shots, it is determined by the physiological ability of the eye to aim with an open sight. This is a range of 400 meters. For automatic weapons, this range is usually increased by 10%. That's all the "tricky arithmetic".
              Of course, this range is a full-fledged army weapon. And there are still a million surrogates. Starting from a service pistol (25 m), to an assault rifle (330 m).

                  In fact, an "assault rifle" is a type of army weapon with an effective range of 300 m. It can be self-loading or automatic. And the length of the barrel, together with the automatics, does not matter here, do not invent it.
                  The smallest army weapon is carbine (carbine, but not short rifle, this is important). The senior army weapon is an army rifle. Both can be automatic or not.

As a weapon on a cartridge of 7,62x54 mm, it was replaced by a weapon on a cartridge of 7,62x39 mm, and then on a cartridge of 5,45x39 mm. This was yes, this was a rearmament, this was money in the trash. Large-scale and global. Maybe in the USSR they didn’t steal money, but sometimes they squandered it enchantingly.

                        As for the USSR, you are wrong. The greatest achievement of the USSR in the field of small arms was the AK-74. Which is not an army, but an assault (one step lower than an army) rifle. Moreover, due to the apparent failure of the design, an automatic assault rifle of medium scab. But the army needs an army automatic rifle. Nothing has been heard about its creation. But much is heard about how they try to turn an unimportant automatic assault rifle into a good one. And this is alarming, perhaps they are not capable of more.
                        As for the retired AK-47, this weapon is a very rare concept. Due to the unsuccessful design of the mechanism, the AK-74 simply could not balance, and therefore weakened completely, turning it from an army automatic rifle into an assault rifle. And not very good. Those. in that case it happened. But the AK-47 did so on purpose and purposefully. Since conceptually it was not a rifle, but an advanced submachine gun (in the German version it was MP-43 / StG-44). And the Germans did not plan to arm them with the entire Wehrmacht, but only with the combat personnel armed with the MP-40 (I recall that at first this new weapon was called MP-43).
                        What was done. They made a weapon capable of confidently using automatic fire to hit the enemy at a distance of 100 m (MP-40 was less effective beyond 60 m). In this case, when determining the distance, we proceeded from the indicators of accuracy of shooting, this was what was put at the forefront. And at the same time, the cartridge power and barrel length were adjusted so as to ensure SMG level fire density (80-100 rounds per minute). Those. standard fire density of submachine guns.
                        But due to the fact that the cartridge was much more powerful than the pistol one, a pre-calculated bonus came out, the ability of such a "machine gun" to effectively hit targets with single fire beyond 100 m. This weapon did not reach the standard of an army rifle, 400 m, it was limited to 300 m. T .e. the norm for assault rifles. At the same time, it should be noted that a very good weapon of the SFW category (selective-fire weapon) turned out. Because Usually weapons of this category in terms of the density of automatic fire of the SMG level do not do, they are limited to the AR level.
                        I willingly believe that such a weapon would be very useful for solving some special tasks by special forces. And I even willingly believe that the German concept of re-equipping them with part of the soldiers was not bad. But for the mass armament of the army, as it was in the USSR, it is not suitable at all. Because, I repeat for the tenth time, the army needs an army mass rather than an assault rifle.
                        By the 70s, this was also understood in the USSR, so they asked for a weapon on a cartridge of 7,62x39 mm with the help of a kick. But he failed to make a full replacement. Of course, an automatic assault rifle (AK-74) is noticeably better than a self-loading assault rifle with the ability to conduct automatic fire (AK-47). But the army needs an army automatic rifle. Which is not yet.

The TT bullet fired from the PPSh has a flatter trajectory than from 9X19 from MP 40, but the gap is not very large for 200, and the cardinal decrease for 9X19 will be 0,8m for 7,62 0,6m, speed at 9m / s at 250m / s the energy of both is quite enough to defeat the enemy. Those. both will allow you to shoot at a growth target, both will no longer guarantee hit in the chest target in case of a range error, and both at a distance of more than 7,62 meters will have absolutely unsatisfactory accuracy even though the bullets in both will be slaughter up to 300-200 meters.

                Especially for rural:
                - the kinetic energy of a bullet is directly proportional to the square of the speed, therefore 500 m / s 7,62х25 is more effective than 380 m / s 9х19 not 1,3, but 1,73 times;
                - the initial supersonic speed of the 9-mm bullet decreases to the subsonic 330 m / s just at the turn of 50 meters (effective firing range from MP-40), where the 7,62-mm bullet has a speed of 450 m / s, the energy gap increases up to two times ;
                - at a distance of 200 meters, the 9-mm bullet has a ridiculous speed of the order of 200 m / s compared to the 330 m / s 7,62-mm bullet, the energy gap increases up to 2,5 times.

                There can be no talk of any stopping, and even more so punching effect of an 9 mm bullet at a distance of more than 50 meters (and hand grenades are much more effective weapons up to 40 meters). Therefore, the fate of the 9-mm submachine guns is only police operations against criminals and terrorists who are not equipped with body armor. The use of the police MP-40 in the Wehrmacht until the end of the 1944 year was from stupidity, and from that period until the end of the war - from the limited production capabilities for the production of army weapons under an intermediate cartridge.

                Either the case of the Red Army, which since 1941 of the year has been equipped with army submachine guns under the high-pulse pistol cartridge 7,62x25 mm. Moreover, in comparison with the expensive, difficult to manufacture and having a small effective firing range MP-40, the Soviet PPSh-41 and PPS-43 were real engineering masterpieces.

                  the initial supersonic speed of a 9-mm bullet decreases to subsonic 330 m / s just at the turn of 50 meters (effective firing range from the MP-40), where a 7,62-mm bullet has a speed of 450 m / s, the energy gap increases to two time;

                  Even I did not expect such enchanting ravings of the number two mare. It turns out that supersonic is very important. I wonder why they might write further.

                  at a distance of 200 meters, a 9 mm bullet has a ridiculous speed of about 200 m / s compared to 330 m / s with a 7,62 mm bullet, the energy gap increases up to 2,5 times.

                  And, of course, insanity number 3. Moreover, somehow the energy is measured only by speed. It seems that the weight of the bullet here is generally not at work.
                  In fact, wise guy, the speed of the MP-40 bullet at a range of 200 m is approximately 270 m / s. And the energy of the bullet is 293 J. The same for the PPSh pool is about 295 m / s and 241 J. Everything, it’s time to finish the bullshit ravings. Nifiga you do not know, so at least keep quiet with a smart look.

A striking example of Soviet anti-aircraft guns, 76 and 85-mm, which the Germans refined in their 88 caliber. They had a "margin of safety" there. And also the Soviet 76-mm F-22 cannon, from which the Germans removed energy 40% more than in the USSR. What masterpieces could be in this semi-literate collective farm? Enough already soviet fairy tales.

                    Ukrop redneck, at the beginning of WWII Germany was able to give birth with an effort only T-IV with a cigarette butt instead of a cannon, which ran like hares from the T-34 and KV-1. The 152-mm howitzer-gun ML-20 from the beginning to the end of the war was an unattainable model for the German industry. Perkalium La-7 in their performance characteristics exceeded the all-metal Fokkers and Messers (this had to be done especially on the part of the German aircraft industry). Throughout the war, the Germans were unable to create a single infantry machine gun with gas-operated automatics and an optimal rate of fire. Police officer MP-40 is a disgrace to the Wehrmacht. All "Tigers" and "Royal Tigers" were driven behind Mozhay by Soviet Su-100 and ISU-152.

                    But you, the foremost representative of the Ukrop countryside, are prettier in your parallel reality, in which Germany extends from the Atlantic to the Urals, and Russia is turned into a small Tartaria.

                    In the real world, the "dense", "beggar" and "underdeveloped" USSR in WWII pulverized the last German Reich in history, separating from it the very core (East Prussia) and Silesia. The remaining stub is now called the Federal Republic of Germany, its dimensions practically coincide with France, Spain and Poland, i.e. it is a stateless country in terms of its mobilization and military potential with a ban on the possession of nuclear weapons. The natural aging of the population of Germany by the end of the 21st century will finally put it on a par with other European countries.

                    And in order not to get up twice after WWII, the USSR turned the British Empire ("over which the sun never sets") into a cardboard fool - an analogue of the FRG, but with nuclear weapons (which, however, is under the jurisdiction of the US patron).

                    It is useful to recall the fate of the Japanese Empire as a result of WWII, whose territory shrank to the size of the Japanese islands (just like the Federal Republic of Germany), and its influence - to the cries of "Save us Americans from the evil Russia and China."

                    Russia after the WWII became the owner of the world's largest military potential, capable of destroying any potential enemy / opponents.

                    And so yes - we are "dense", "poor" and "underdeveloped" am

And if you go even further, for example, the story with the tests of the "armor protection" PZ-ZIF-75 somehow so unexpectedly it turned out that this cuirass holds the bullet "P" from the PPD from 115 meters and the German surrogate only from XNUMX.

                  Well, here you are mistaken, arguing that at a distance of 200 meters the energy of a 9 mm bullet is 2,5 times less than the energy of a bullet of 7,62 mm, since the mass of a 9 mm bullet of a standard cartridge is 8 grams, and the mass of the bullet? .62 mm - 5,5 grams. An elementary calculation according to the well-known formula shows that the energy of the first will be 16 kgf / m, which is 1.9 times less than the energy of the second bullet at the mentioned distance. This energy is quite enough to cause a mortal wound, another thing, with such a drop in speed, the trajectory became less stable, it was necessary to make the aiming point at a distance of 200 meters above the CT, which is extremely inconvenient.

        1. The standard range for the battle of submachine guns is and was a distance of the order of 100 m.

        The fact that there have been and are DIFFERENT PPs is unknown to this Mr. laughing

        Thompson’s SMG is called SMG, not MP

        Another discovery of the century! And I, naive, thought - this is because SubMashineGun is in English, and MashinenPistol is in German laughing

        And SMG is translated, not as a submachine gun, as it is customary to "translate" in Runet.

        Yes! Uniqueslike mr booki translate SubMashineGun as "machine gun" lol
        And any sane reference book on military terminology and abbreviations, having forgotten to ask for advice from every Mr., translates this into Russian just like a submachine gun.

        "Submachine guns" on a cartridge of 7,62x39 mm are actually not an automatic weapon, but a self-loading weapon with the ability to conduct automatic fire at close (submachine gun, ie about 100 m) distances.

    The commission members concluded that the new Shpagin PPSh-2 submachine gun in terms of the number of delays when firing in conditions of severe pollution did not pass the competitive tests. At the same time, the competition between the two designers, which had begun at the training ground, was transferred to the bureaucratic / paper plane, where not only the results obtained were important, but also the positions of supporters of a particular submachine gun model. In this regard, PPSh-2 was quite good, since Ustinov personally played the role of his defender.

    Heh heh heh ... not so simple. For example, Comrade Shpagin believed that bureaucratic competitions began at the test stage:
    The testing commission was composed of GAU KA employees without a representative from the NKV USSR and, therefore, it was no coincidence that during the work there was a unilateral decision and more attention was paid to the PPP model.

    Moreover, when the head of the 10th department of the Art Committee of the GAU KA, engineer-major Burdenkov arrived at the training ground to verify Shpagin’s statement, it suddenly turned out that:
    There were no documented initial data in the form of a working journal on recording test results, shooting cards, and other documents at the NIPSVO KA, as a result of which I was forced to confine myself to interrogating the NIPSVO full-time employees who directly conducted the tests.

    By the way, Sudaev also had a high defender - the head of the GAU, comrade Yakovlev.
    As the uv. Ulanov:
    ... in May [1943] the leadership of the GAU KA sent first a recommendation to L.P. Beria, and then to I.V. Stalin himself, to adopt the Sudaev submachine gun. This was done even before the reports from most of the parts that tested were received.
    "In the process of testing in four armies of the Leningrad Front and in the rear units of the Moscow Military District, the expediency of adopting a Sudaev submachine gun was sufficiently fully revealed."
    ...
    As a result, it turned out that the decision on the adoption of a new submachine gun was made on the basis of reviews from the Lenfront, where only the faculty members got, as well as the impressions of the two NKVD divisions. However, far from everywhere, the teaching staff turned out to be such a clear leader - on the Far Eastern front, six out of ten units spoke out for his rival. The PPSh-2 was also liked more by the shooters from the airborne school, although it would seem that here was someone who would have liked the lighter and more compact PPS.

    Following the report on the table to Stalin, the draft resolution of the decision of the State Defense Committee on the release of Sudayev's submachine gun also went down. It was signed by the head of the GAU KA Colonel-General Yakovlev ... and People's Commissar of the USSR mortar weapons Parshin. In all likelihood, the GAU leadership preferred not to intersect once again with the People’s Commissariat of Armaments and personally Ustinov. It is characteristic that in the future the plants of the NKSS (People’s Commissariat of Machine Tool Building), the NKSP (People’s Commissariat of the Shipbuilding Industry), and even the NKPS (People’s Commissariat of Railways) —but not the People’s Commissariat of Armaments — were involved in the production of PPS.

      At the cost of manufacture, reliability in operation and guaranteed two-row supply of cartridges, PPS beat PPSh repeatedly, regardless of the subjective opinions of Ustinov and Yakovlev.

      Moreover, the mass of PPS and PPSh was the same (and hence the accuracy of firing bursts), while the former had a folding butt and could be used by tankmen and paratroopers, and the latter was an 843-mm fool with a birch butt warping from moisture.

        ... in the certificate prepared in the same GAU KA already for "internal" use, it was indicated that the total time for the production of PPS in hours is 4,23, while PPSh-2 - 3,8.

        Ulanov in LJ had quite a lot about the battle between PPS and PPSh-2.
        I was especially pleased with the list of factories that produced the "simplest" and "most technologically advanced" PPP:
        1.ZD SAM of the People's Commissariat of Mortar Armament. Kalmykova "Schetmash" (Moscow) - 1st State plant of calculating and analytical machines, manufacturer of the then "electronics".
        2. Zd them. Kulakova (Leningrad) - communication equipment (including ZAS), all sly electrics for the fleet. Before PPP, it produced PPD.
        3. Sestroretsky zd them. Voskova (Leningrad). Instrumental at the time of production, the former Sestroretsk arms factory. Before PPP, it produced PPD.
        4. Artel Primus (Leningrad) - in 44, by the way, it was "renamed" into a factory.
        5. Tbilisi Steam Train Car Repair Plant (Tbilisi_
        6. Tbilisi Tool Plant (Tbilisi). Like points 1 and 5, it produced not only PPS, but also PPSh.

        Artel "Primus", by the way, despite its name, was also engaged in high-tech - all sorts of hydraulic components.

          Judging by the form, quantity, method of manufacturing and fixing parts, the excess of the complexity of manufacturing PPP over PPSh could only be at the stage of pilot production of the first and serial production of parts of the second.

          After the deployment of serial production of PPP, the complexity of its production decreased to 2 machine hours. Moreover, the simplicity of the design made it possible to quickly deploy production at any machine-building enterprise (in contrast to the specialized weapons, which produced PPSh).

          The design of the PPSh-2 was very clumsy - an open trunk for burns (the designer tried to reduce weight to the level of competitors), a small base for holding weapons (distance between the grip of the right and left hands) and a shortened length of the sighting line (from the front to the rear).

            Yeah ... that's just in real life, GGCs were not manufactured "at any machine-building enterprise", but at high-tech factories such as Sestroretsky, them. Kulakov, Tbilisi instrumental or "Schetmash". Leningrad factories, for example, before the production of PPS, made rather complex PPDs. And Schetmash and Tbilisi factories - PPSh.

            Oh yes, there was also the Primus artel. Which established production at two other Leningrad plants in terms of stamping and welding. Such a sickly artel, but - establishing production at factories like the Sestroretsk instrumental. Moreover, welding and stamping in weapons production were the "last word in technology" - they were introduced only at the very end of the 30s (it was this technical revolution that finally allowed to dramatically reduce the cost of PP - see Bolotin's book).

      A pistol is not a punch - it should not "punch", but kill. These are slightly different things.

      Here is Colt - killing: one hit generally it was enough for a person to die from shock. And it’s not very important where they got.

      Feel the difference.

      And bulletproof vests are also checked with this cartridge, after that they are assigned for strength and class (and only after this test).

      For that time, the bronik was not relevant - there weren’t any broniks.

      In general, the adoption of the cartridge 7.62x25 was either stupid or wrecking. Especially when you consider that switching to 9x25 requires only a reconfiguration of the line. (Moreover, one heating and 3 or 4 operations would be saved - compression on a bottle.)
      A 9x25 cartridge would kill a little more villains, and thereby save a few of ours. While the weapons would be essentially the same.

      The only tsimus from 7.62 - allowed the use of defective rifle barrels for PP. But this is more theoretically, since something is not heard about this use.

Together with the slope of the shot, an almost flat trajectory will turn out, which will positively affect the aiming. Just to increase the power of the cartridge you need to move away from free shutter.

If you argue that the USSR made a mistake with the 7,62x39 cartridge and weapons based on it (AK, AKM), then it must be admitted that the Americans also gave up with 7,62x51. De facto, they buried a lot of money for a new machine-gun cartridge, although the "old" ones were more than good. The analogue 7,62x51 primarily (for the USA) was the .30-06 Springfield cartridge (7,62x63 mm), and not at all 7,62x54R.

      The lengthening is associated with the need to increase the combat rate of fire of this weapon. To SMG level.

      It’s even somehow not funny. Although the new M4 (in the civilian version of the Colt Expanse M4) just has some chances to supplant the M16. The fact that they will tighten the density of fire is understandable. It is not clear what will happen there with accuracy of fire.

      The difference is that you don't know the basics of shooting. And also the fact that "assault weapons" have nothing to do with assaults. It's just such a name, as they say, invented by Hitler in 1944. Since I am not Hitler, then I am clearly not relevant here. Weapon 1 notch lower than a full-fledged army weapon and effective at a range of 300 m (army at a range of 400 m). For some kind of special operations or for arming auxiliary personnel it is quite suitable. For mass arming the army, no. Due to its insufficient range effectiveness.

A TT bullet passing the chest to the departure will give the carcass no less than joules than the MP bullet stuck there.

Only after passing through, the 9Pair bullet will leave more energy in the body due to the longer wound channel.

              What matters here is not the initial energy of the bullet, but the final energy on the body of the victim. Therefore, a lot will depend on the firing distance.
              But according to the PM-Para, nothing will envy the firing distance if we do not consider distances further than 50 m. So, the power reserve of the Para bullet is such that at a distance of 50 m it will have a final energy greater than the PM bullet at the muzzle end. And although the efficiency of energy transfer of a PM bullet is noticeably higher than that of a Para bullet, anyway, the effect of a Para bullet, due to its energy supply, will be higher sooner.

                  why is it suddenly a bullet PM energy transfer is noticeably better

                  Because she has a significantly worse ballistic coefficient. In the external Baltic, this is a minus. And in the wound, just the opposite, plus. In addition, the diameter of the PM bullet is larger than the vapor bullet. And for wound ballistics, this is also better. Those. due to these two factors, it will slow down more actively and its transmission of energy will be sharper.
                  But, I repeat again, PM is like a dead poultice. This is originally a police pistol with all the ensuing circumstances. And even firing at him point-blank from the enemy gives no guarantees. Exactly the same as shooting point-blank from the TT. And for a normal army pistol, guarantees should be at a distance of up to 50 m. This is the same as with a PY, for example.

In our cases, the cross-sectional areas of bullets are equal with an error of a couple percent. So why the PM bullet should give energy more sharply, clearly emphasize the necessary :))

      Although not all energy can be transmitted. But her bullet stock is not very large, so what might fly out just might not be enough. Moreover, and this is very important, energy should be transferred in the shortest possible time.

        You put the mare behind the cart: the bullet must first hit the object, and then think about leaving all its energy in it. There are hundreds of documented cases when German bullets got stuck in party cards, medals, buttons, sheepskin coats, etc. (I don’t know about asses - it’s a shame to boast of such an injury, if not a splinter) - i.e. DO NOT FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE, although they TRANSFERRED all the energy. So let him first enter the body (again the range), and there you’ll be lucky: maybe he ricochets off the bones a couple of times, increasing the wound channel, but even if he does, it’s not possible to put on the back of the armor in Afghanistan so that the bullet is back into the body I didn’t ricochet, and of course it’s easier. I haven’t seen anything dancing a tarantella with a hole right away (at our site a guy foolishly from a Kalnakh 5,45 hit right on the spot - only 40 lived for minutes, TSN) ...

            In addition, leaving ALL energy is DESIRABLE, but not necessary. Be sure to leave enough energy. For each specific bullet, this value is different. It depends on a million factors.

          and there it’s how lucky: maybe it ricochets off the bones a couple of times

          In the hope of chance, normal small arms are not designed. This is just the Soviet approach, to make weapons inferior (ersatz), and then, as lucky. According to the theory of probability, it should have been driven once. And how it really was there, who knows.
          Normal army weapons at a predetermined distance with a quality hit at any point should bring down the enemy with a probability of 100%.

        But her bullet stock is not very large, so what might fly out just might not be enough. Moreover, and this is very important, energy should be transferred in the shortest possible time.
        Those. The amount of energy transferred and the time it is transferred are critical.

        You do not assume that the bullet may simply not reach the vital organs or having lost some of the energy in the obstacle in front of the target, as there WAS in many cases getting into the elements of ammunition and weapons located on the body of the carcass.

        As a result, at a distance of 60 m, the MP-40 bullet, hitting a soldier in the ass, will kill him on the spot. A PPSh bullet, only upset.

          When designing army weapons, it focuses on the defeat of vital organs. It is focused on the defeat of the central nervous system of the enemy. So more reliable.

                It is useless to explain to him: he is "programmed" that a stuck bullet should "scare to death" the body of a soldier, when he plugs the double hole with cigarettes and runs on, whistling cheerfully "But we don't care!" ...
                You can even make a movie of some kind on this subject (sell the script to Hollywood): Germans riddled with TT-PPSh bullets, like zombies with their hands strangle Soviet soldiers or hands throw cartridges in them - and they die from pain shock and indignation ... wassat

                  Fight from here, ignoramus. Learn at least the basics of wound ballistics. What is the threshold for pain shock, and what happens if this threshold is exceeded. And what they do to exceed it, also read.
                  Schoolchildren have gathered here, and "they argue with authority," damn it. Kindergarten. These are usually "firmly known" that an expansive bullet is made in such a way that "the hole is larger, and then it is easier for it to reach a vital organ."

                    That's it. I already wrote that a soldier almost died in my arms from an AK-74 bullet without any abstruse "expansive" words - and some on sofas theorize, picking up Vicki and other Pedias ...
                    Ballistics is one - the vital organ is affected or not plus blood loss.
                    My father still carries a fragment of a German bomb in his hand, which he caught during the evacuation at the age of 6 - it whines when the weather changes, but the doctors did not dare to disturb his hand either then or now - maybe even worse - but according to your "laws" he should was to die even then, because the "energy" all entered the body of the child, and the painful shock. Thank God he is alive and let him live, how much is measured from Above, and not by "pedrils" of pseudo-scientific fiction!
                    But I still would not wish neither you nor anyone else to experience these "ballistics" on myself.
                    However, you will also "throw" своих algae, if they exist of course - it’s better not to produce such genetics any further.

    De facto, they buried a lot of money for a new machine-gun cartridge, although the "old" ones were more than good. An analogue of 7,62x51, first of all (for the USA) was the .30-06 Springfield cartridge (7,62x63 mm), and not at all 7,62x54R.
    No, well, stupid ... But we are not like that, we will not change our "orthodox pro-Orthodox" 7,62x54R in our life.
    The .30-06 Springfield is back in the hunting cartridges niche. There, thanks to the use of heavy bullets, you can unleash all the potential available in his "sickly" case.

    This cartridge was originally created for hunting rabbits and small game.

    Where does this information come from? lol
    The TT cartridge is a slightly reworked Mauser cartridge of 7,63 * 25, while the TT was not intended for hunting purposes at all, and the choice of the prototype was made based on its combat properties.
    And now I’m waiting for a story about the Mauser S-96 pistol as a hunting weapon for small game. laughing

    By the way, all "extremely successful and legendary" weapons on the TT cartridge after the war and as a result of the war were asked from the army with the help of a kick

    Lies.

    The replacement of the TT cartridge with a 9mm pistol cartridge occurred much later than the end of the war, and not because of claims to the cartridge, but for the sake of unification of police weapons with army ones. At the same time, they didn’t do 9 mm PP at all then, they started doing this recently - for the sake of selling weapons abroad, where the 9 * 19 parabellum cartridge is popular.

    The replacement of assault rifles with assault rifles took place all over the world after the appearance and distribution of intermediate cartridges.
    However, even after this, PPSh and PPS kept their positions for a long time: both in our army until its AK was saturated, and in foreign ones, where they were used en masse. Our software fought in Korea and Vietnam, and copies were made around the world. TT pistol clones are still manufactured and are in sufficient demand.

    And now we are waiting for links to documents confirming the presence of the "kick" described by him? lol

    But in fact, the MP40 sights were marked at 200 m. And this is very suspicious.

    The Mosin rifle sights were marked, EMNIP, up to 2 kilometers. And this is very suspicious. smile

    And with the Mauser S-96 pistol, the marking of the sight was up to 1km, so what?

    Because I have never seen such a claim.

    If you don’t see something, it speaks above all about the quality of your vision. Read the revelations of a certain booki - he repeatedly broadcast here that the TT cartridge is suitable only for hunting rabbits and gophers.

    At the same time, this enchanting sage deduced this deep thought exclusively from the advertising phrase that the Borchard C-93 pistol under such a cartridge is the traveler’s best weapon.
    What logic was this unique person guided by - ask him laughing

    I want to inform you that the ISU-152 were artillery propelled guns. And the anti-tank struggle was not part of their task.

    SU-85 and SU-100 were also artillery self-propelled guns. However, the anti-tank battle was their main purpose.

    And you also need to discover that many tanks were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns - although their main task is completely different.
    To destroy the tanks were used and heavy guns not at all AT destination, and MLRS, designed for firing at squares. There was even the destruction of armored vehicles with a 203-mm B-4 howitzer shell, which is absolutely not an anti-tank battle.

    And finally, regarding the SU-152 / ISU-152 - ask why they were nicknamed "St. John's Wort".

    Here are the reviews about this machine gun and a link to an interview. Sudaev’s submachine gun is convenient of course: it’s all metal, the bed is folding and folds up, it’s small. Everywhere you can push and save, but here in the battle is not reliable. Whipped up, the slightest dust and it seizes, warps. For hand-to-hand combat, all the more so: you won’t hit them, with PPSh and PPD at least with a butt you can. In general, the best, as someone believes, cannot be recognized, strongly disagree.

    In hand-to-hand combat, you cannot fight with our machine gun, you can kill yourself. If you hit it with a butt, it can shoot spontaneously: the bolt presses the spring under the action of gravity, pushes the cartridge into the chamber and causes an arbitrary shot. It is necessary to push the shutter, so as not to stagger, not walk. It is impossible to strike sharply, it is impossible to hit either - the fuse saved a little. In our dugout, a soldier came, put an automatic machine, hit the butt with the butt on the ground, and the bolt did not stand on the fuse. The shutter passed a little, shot at the temple and killed the guy. There’s nothing to take, it’s impossible to stab too, without a bayonet. We were given Finns: on the belt or in the bootleg, but this is separate.
    It happened to shoot from the MG 34 machine gun, they were taken from the dead and used. He fired from pistols, of course they liked the German more. In terms of convenience, reliability - and pistols, machine guns and machine guns are much more reliable than ours. TT could fall easily when dropped. A fuse, you can’t even name it, it’s just such a valve. I hit it, it flew out and the shutter was free again.
