  1. Ian, you are mistaken about the fact that the army authorities wanted to leave the soldiers with Mosin rifles. The Red Army was planned to be fully armed with self-loading rifles.Hence the skepticism in relation to submachine guns. And, as far as I remember, one PPD cost as 5 Mosin rifles P.S. I should correct myself about the numbers. PPD cost was about 900 rubles in 1939, while the DP-27 cost 1100 rubles. SVT cost about 700 rubles

  2. it looks strange with that black plastic
    234
  3. that's black powder, after all
    130
  4. brilliant

  5. +NotTheWorst are you implying that DP-27, PPSh-41 or AK/AKM were designed by Germans? Tell me moar

  6. > The Sturmgewehr had no chance to prove itself after WW2 As far as I know, it was used long after the WW2

  7. It's debatable. Soviet submachineguns of similar size, weight and range were in no means "personal defense" weapons
    48
  8. +clothar23 Soviet Marines preferred SVT to Mosin, for example
    45
  9. o yeah
    40
  10. Just compare that with G11

  12. Looks like grammar KGB did his job

  13. +RonJohn63 >Let's kill 20MM people and build heavy industry r you nuts? Where did the numbers come from?
    26
  14. +DreamingFlurry >: I'd rather have ONE very good gun with a soldier who extensively trained with that gun, than 3-4 half-decent guns with conscripts using them that's a good way to lose a war >it was never German doctrine to overwhelm the enemy with foot-soldiers then why infantry divisions(foot soldiers, in other words) formed the bulk of the German army during WW1 and WW2?

  15. More like comrade Lin Zhao - it's definitely chinese hat he is wearing

  16. >the Finns made a great smg, then the Soviets copied it, then they simplified it, then they really simplified it and then the Finns copied it back... are you serious?
    23
  17. +Johannes D'ambruoso >Most historians agree on 20 mil Soviet atrocities commited against non combatant civillian populations lolwut? >About double that for Mao. lolwut? >The 20 million number is pretty generous considering before 1940 it was mostly ethnic Jews who were in control of Soviet union, and it would be taboo to speak out against them r'u mad or just drunk?

  18.  @BuggaBoy69  >It’s an amalgamation of “borrowed” design elements from hundreds of weapons designers you really don't understand what engineering got into that 'amalgamation' >and the whole profile and concept of the gun was copied off the Germans ROFL. Really? I suppose, you didn't see weapons like AVS or SVT. Not to mention things like RPS-3 or TKB-336

  19. +KOLMEKAKKONE look at MP-18. And don't be ridiculous. "Copied design", my ass

  20. + Tomartyr Hugo worked in Izhewsk, and Kalashnikov - in Kovrow. Same place, of course :D

  21. +Jacob Lester as for russian systems - they use sea water

  22. > the Germans are really good at gun design.. you are joking, right?
    16
  23. +Robuster Polonier compare PPSh-41 with STEN and M3. Is it really "nothing special" for war-time SMG?

  30. >machine carbine The Germans just so called their early assault rifles

  31. that was a german Kampfpistole, i suppose

  32.  @BuggaBoy69  >The Ak is NOT a battle rifle like an svt but AK 'profile' looks like SVT. Or AVS. Or RPS-3. Or TKB-336. >If you know about the history of the “assault rifle” then you know the Mp-43/stg/44 preceded the ak and provided the blueprint for kalashnikov to “invent” his rifle. facepalm. >Basically the same gas system, extremely similar cartridge design, the profile and ergonomics of the weapon are the same you really don't know anything about soviet weapons except AK, do you? Though, you don't know much about AK too. "Basically the same gas system", ROFL

  33. +Zhuurgen you will change your mind if you will be forced to carry it with you on a multi-kilometer foot march, and not carry in a cozy APC

  35. +Weeb-kun which doesn't exists

  36. +dandhan87 nope. AFAIK, finnish AK copied not from AKM but other Warshaw Pakt AK variant

  37. > it was so simple that in the surrounded Leningrad it began to produce even in a small private, not owned by the state artel, which was called "Primus" to be correct - those guys were in no way "small". Read kris-reid.livejournal.com/660569.html

  44. +Dong Blak it was a hundred years ago. Brits, Germans, Americans - they all designed good weapons then
