  1. >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?

  2. +A Nonymous stop spreading bullshit, I beg you

  3. facepalm

  4. > 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

  6. +Richardsen > The cheap, easy to manufacture nature of the AK-47 is also a prevalent idea in the StG 44. are you implying that soviet firearms previous to AK were expensive and hard to manufacture? And you do it in the comments section of the clip about PPS-43?

  7. +Richardsen > but the Soviets were not universally making simple stuff thing is, that Soviets were making simple stuff much more often than the Germans. Much more often. > this very same video speaks also about the PPD-40, which was not a cheap and simple weapon Yes, and it was produced in thousands. Not millions, like PPSh. Not even tens of thousands. >With the AK-47, the Soviets could have gone either simple or complex. nope, With AK-47 they could have gone ONLY with simple to produce, relatively cheap, reliable construction. That were the lessons of WW2. >hell, look at the AN-94 do you see it produced in substantial quantities and massively adopted?

  8. > Stalin's response to reports that Soviet Engineering was not up to serving in combat was to order that any crew who had a broken transmission on a T-34 was to be shot because they obviously had sabotaged the perfect People's Gear Box themselves from what kind of ass you pulled that bullshit? >Soldiers were simply there to be gleefully expended if ten of them could bring down one German. another bullshit >Stalin was the posthumously-diagnosed psychopath in charge of it during time of war. and another. are you drunk, high or simply you are an idiot?

  9. +A Nonymous try reading comething of my own history that isn't wikipedia or popular journals articles > There are reasons every country in Eastern Europe fears you. yep. Their generals want to buy new expensive toys, like in good old days of Soviet Union

  11.  @oscarmuffin4322  people do exactly that - they buy some ridiculously expensive wine and put it in the cellar. Or even more ridiculously expensive car and put it into garage

  12. brilliant

  13. +pdittrich >So the AK is (in soviet terms) a submachinegun... nope. It's assault rifle. In the sense that the Germans put in this term. It was meant to replace SMG's
    2
  14. +Random Name >автома́т (avtomát) which basically means automatic rifle. you are wrong here. "Автомат" means "Automatic carbine". And implies the use of an intermediate cartridge

  15. bolt should have some mass. And you forgetting the recoil spring

  16. there are strange people on the island. Maybe, it goes with the fish diet

  17. Gavin H Strangely, Sten requires more machining. Those tubes...
    2
  18. >simplicity - is main idea of designing weapon in Russia as a matter of fact - no. Russia had its own share of complex weapons. There is an emphasis on reliability, though.
    2
  19. this is typical for many submachine guns

  20.  @oscarmuffin4322  no more than buying ridiculously expensive clothes or food or something

  21. +Halvspenn > the intended purpose of the StG-44 and the Fedorov Avtomat were completely different. thing is, that Germans intended StG44 as ersatz-light machinegun. Or so thought the Soviet military specialists. And the same purpose was for the assault rifles developed in the USSR since 1943
    2
  22. Nope. You could look at STEN, for example
    1
  23. nope
    1
  24. nope, it doesn't
    1
  25. and London is really a Ландан
    1
  26. Not London, but ЛАндан
    1
  27. nope. It required stamping
    1
  28. there was Finnish copy in 9mm Para. And Spanish copy of Finnish copy. Sooo, you just have to find one
    1
  29. in Leningrad was the most developed industry in the USSR. And equipment for stamping was not easy to find elsewhere
    1
  30. STEN was a cheap piece of crap. So no, not 'soviet STEN'

  31. Потому что ты говоришь Лондон, а не Ландон

  32. wood or bakelite. Initially only wood

  33. +Michael Rex there are schemes on the internets
    1
  34. MP 40 isn't comparable to ''Sten gun' in any way. High quality, high price production.

  35. А сам-то как думаешь, хехе. Это ж в музей гонять надо
    1
  36. How is KP/-31 related to PPSh-41? Do you even looked at blueprints?
    1
  37. +Nom Cognom what type of submachine gun in what conditions? Why PPSh-41 was inspired by 'Suomy' and not by it's direct predecessor, PPD-40?
    1
  38. > It inspired the PPD actually wat? Just, wat?
    1
  39. +Jonathan Borley it isn't 'forgotten' or 'misunderstood' weapon
    1
  40. $24800 are price for overseas transit :D
    1
  41. is not the production price we are paying, it's historical value and scarcity
