sytasyn_syn Posted: May 24, 2008 The PPSh-41(Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina)nicknamed "Pah-Pah-sha, Shpagin and Burp Gun" submachine gun was one of the most mass produced weapons of its type of World War II. It was designed by Georgi Shpagin, as an inexpensive alternative to the PPD-40, which was expensive and time consuming to build. The PPSh had a simple blow-back action, a box or drum magazine, and used the 7.62x25mm pistol round. It was made with metal stampings to ease production, and its chrome-lined chamber and bore helped to make the gun very low-maintenance in combat settings.
The PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina) Shpagin Machine Pistol; nicknamed "Pah-Pah-sha, Shpagin and Burp Gun" submachine gun was one of the most mass produced weapons of its type of World War II. It was designed by Georgi Shpagin.
A few hundred weapons were produced in November 1941 and another 155,000 were produced over the next five months. By spring 1942, the PPSh factories were producing roughly 3,000 units a day.[1] The PPSh-41 was classic example of a design adapted for mass production
Retired from Soviet Army service soon after the WW2, the PPSH was widely exported to some pro-Soviet countries around the world, including Vietnam and many African countries.
The main advantage of the PPSch-41 was bigger effective range (when compared to both Allies and Axis submachine guns of that era). It also was accurate enough and reliable.
Some of the PPSh's drawbacks included the difficulty of reloading, the tendency of the drums to jam (solved by the box magazines) and the high risk of accidental discharge when dropped - the last being a fault common to all open bolt submachine gun designs.
Now if your looking to own one of these rare peices of Solviet history, good luck finding one to buy. whole weapons are hard to comeby. You would be better off find parts and making and putting it together yourself.

any body know how much a ppsh-41 is worth
Lector2
If it was registered back before 86 and is in good shape and has all matching Numbers its probably worth up to $26,000. If it wasnt registered before 86 than it cant be registered and its worth a $250,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment. Dont tell anyone you have it.

It is getting a bit strange that we are getting so many questions on here about full-auto guns. We are law abiding people here on guns lot so if you want to try to buy or sell full auto go some where else, and if your somebody trying to trick someone into buying or giving you information SCREW OFF ASSHOLE.
greasypaws

Your first ever post on this site and you're already lecturing people on how to behave. You don't know what's gone down here in the past. How about dropping the superiority act and trying to learn something about this site and the people here before showing off your intelligence.

Wow, tough crowd. Actually I recently received my C&R FFL which would allow me to purchase a PPSH-41 in full auto in my state, so long as it isn't a modern remake of any kind. As in, it would have to be an original. I really would like to know some venues who sell these. I'm enthralled with old Russian and German weaponry. I already have an arsenal of U.S. weaponry and just want to expand my horizons. Any leads would be great!
I already have some but like I said...I would like to have a nice sized list of possible places to buy from. Thanks in advance!

The following persons may own or posess a machine gun or machine gun conversion kit or trigger activating device increasing the rate of fire to that of a machine gun;
Persons possessing machine guns or short-barreled shotguns which,although designed as weapons,have been determined by the superintendent of criminal apprehension or his delegate by reason of the date of manufacture,value,design,or other characteristics to be primarily collectors items,relics,museum pieces,or objects of curiosity,ornaments or keepsakes,,and are not likely to be used as weapons.
There are quite a few weapons collectors that can get fully automatic weapons here and you can interput the above to cover firing them as well,which i have.
Seems to me he asked a legitimate question so FUCK OFF

Yes,but i have my state gun laws here at my desk so that's right out of the book.
ivantank
i am reading your gun laws as well, cause i was always under the impression that full-auto and the ability the switch a gun to full-auto was illegal everywhere...
Reaper308
many states allow you to own select fire weapons (full auto). You just need a class 3 license and a stamp.
here is a link that shows what certain states allow...
