In Russia, we sometimes call PPSH-41 "Папаша" ("Papasha"), which can be translated as "Daddy" :)
My favorite PPSH-41 story is how they had the idea to strap 88 of these - pointed down - in the bomber bay of a TU-2 for strafing runs.
It's a fine idea that did not work very well ....
It's not just a story but an actual materialized concept. Just a few tests and they realized that it could only be someone wet dream at best.
71 likes. I ain't gonna destroy that
Thanks for showing your PP on RUclips. Your PP is impressive and historic. It was nice you acknowledged the guy who worked on your PP. I enjoyed watching you demonstrate how your PP works. I think many would love to handle your PP.
me especially, i would love being near that PP!
I like the part where his PP sprayed his hot loads everywhere.
Pretty long PP
one impressive PP
Even just cleaning that PP would be an honor
I always find impressive to see old guns performing well, even so many years ago gunsmiths were making things that could be relied upon nearly a century after their creation. It's so simple too.
I mean yeah weapons of the past were still plenty lethal, that's why they were used in the past
Toob
It's a tube with a block and a little tab that makes it stop working.
I'd argue that there's literally no way to make a gun simpler, other than MAYBE a very rudimentary bolt action, _but even then._
Modern Gun Design: "My expensive SPEAR rifle is the state of the art in gun design, it is the best."
Some Russian 100 years ago: "Da, but _T O O B."_
Might be survivorship bias with lots of gunsmithing and parts changes so it continues to work.
It's got a lot to do with the storage and care for the particular weapon.
That sheet metal would rust out in an instant if you gave it the opportunity.
"As long as you live, the heart of this army can never be broken"
"Dimitri?! ... Once again, you cheat death!"
HURRAH
"He makes us all proud"
Fun fact, because it’s chambered in 9mm, it now more closely represents the german MP-717(r), which were captured PPSh-41s that the German army rechambered for 9mm, while other captured PPSh-41s were just reissued with the 7mm Mauser C96 rounds instead.
Have u heard about Suomi kp/31? That is the original version of ppsh and suomi kp/31 is based on Bergmann mp18.
@@pyryt9936 i actually have, that was the finnish smg that the soviets came up against with their PPD smgs during the winter war, then they wanted their own drum mag smg, leading to the PPD40, and later, the PPSh41. Apparently, it was one of the best smgs of the time, and has the best drum mag, being very reliable, a remarkable feat for drum mags, which are known to have more reliability issues than box mags.

@@pyryt9936 PPSH was inspired by the KP/31 but it's not technically a variant
We found one in Iraq 2005 and had a range day with it. It is still my favorite gun I've ever shot. It's so smooth on recoil despite the crazy fire rate.
Similar experience. Found a gun makers shop. He had cut the stock off and the barrel down on a few. Terrifying.
It’s just crazy that the ammo was there too. Not saying your lying I’m being literal
@@Great_Lakes_Discus It's still in active production.
@@Great_Lakes_Discus Insurgents had quite a few of these, lotta old photographs of captured ones and ammo resupply caches
@@BaconEatingRAIDBoss insurgents or Iraqi patriots?
My grandfather carried a PPSH in Korea that he captured from a Chinese soldier. He didn't know what it was called other than "Russian Burpgun" but when he described it I found out what it was.
"Russian Burtgun" nice
The Soviet Union supplied the "Korean People's Army" ( North Korean Army) with loads of PPSH 41's prior to the Korean War, while US and Republic of Korea Forces carried the M-1.
"Russian Fartgun"
I bet he laid some hate with that thing
"Where you reds going? I'm just giving you back your ammo!"
A casing with holes protruding beyond the edge of the barrel served as a muzzle compensator, reducing recoil and improving the accuracy of the battle. But a fighter who happened to be nearby could get a concussion and even a rupture of the eardrum. At night, the firing PPSh was unmistakably recognizable by the three tongues of flame beating up and to the sides from the barrel casing.

I remember holding one of these at a history exhibit they had at my local town (I live in the UK so even getting to see one is a rarity) and as someone who spent multiple hours playing WAW on Der Riese with this thing I never thought I'd be able to hold one. Still a memory i cherish to this day
Love to see it finally finished Brandon. Thank you for sharing!
My late Father was 20 years old when he fought in the Hungarian Uprising in 1956. He said he was able to get a “Papasha” to use. He said he liked it a LOT, and wished he could have had one here in the States. Thanks Brandon.
He could have one, but would have to jump through a bunch of hoops, sale his sole to the devil and pay a bunch of taxes heheh!
man, I just turned 20.

@@williamschmidt4229even let that made it the us
Man, if he's still alive... Take him to shoot full autos. He deserves it.
Every time someone opens up an open-bolt smg and shows just how simple they are, it just give me a warm fuzzy feeling of knowing such cool guns are so mechanically simple.
Open bolt full auto is about as simple as it gets
Same.. Image having to invent it and making the perfect balance of weight and power for this to work.
The mechanical principal is so simple.. but I guess it's harder to make..
@@laurahaaima1436 Actually, it is surprisingly difficult to not have a malfunction on prototype designs that lets a little bit extra out.
"If i'm wrong about that, get fucked where's your Ppsh?" has the same energy as "Yeah well, What colour's your Bugatti?"
Also to let you know in WW2 in Russia, you would place your free hand on the drum barrel for better accuracy, and also if you had gloves, on the barrel to keep your hands warm. Also Germans loved the PPSH because it was reliable and had a faster RPM then the MP40 or MP38.
Fun fact: it was standard practice to fire the PPSH at an angle to keep hot shell casings from raining down your neck.
Russians doing the gangsta lean before the gangsta lean was a thing.
Actually cavalrymen back in 17th and 18th century did the "gangsta lean" when shooting flintlock and wheellock pistols from horseback because while riding your gunpowder could spill so they turned the pan with the powder,(not the powder in the barrel) that acts as an ignition for the the powder inside the barrel. Theres alot of paintings of that.
Really? I always thought it threw it at the 1 o’clock position but just slightly. I guess it makes sense why they would angle it 😂
Fun fact: i from soviet union
I’m from the un-based land of Britain where the only gun contact I’d had was clay shooting with a 12 gauge. My first real gun experience was with a PPSH41 when I went to the states for my first time. Absolutely unforgettable experience.

These three soldiers had to fight against two enemies: the nazi invaders and the NKVD soldiers, that were shooting their backs, so these ordinary soldiers couldn’t leave the battlefield.

Have loved this thing since the Russian campaign of Call of Duty 1 back in my early childhood. The little buzzsaw which could go through your entire ammo reserve in the blink of an eye, but could also flatten an entire room full of Germans just as quickly. Happy to see it in all its glory. #AKGNotificationSquad
thats some OG COD memories
wut?
They nerfed the hell out of it for most video games, just like the SPAS12.
I'll never forget that moment in Finest Hour when you're commanding the T-34 through the ruins of Stalingrad, and an entire battalion of Krauts runs into your line of fire and you get to lay on that MG and watch them fall.
Same deal just I loved it since WAW. Btw I am a bit younger but not by much lmao
I love when Brandon goes full "Forgotten Weapons" with the deep dive function and history, before suddenly circling back for a moment of full Herrera meltdown right after.
I’ve always loved this gun growing up playing Call of Duty World at war. I loved how it looked and the sound of it shredding through ammo.
Thank you for your ramblings. They're endearing.
PPSh is one of the earliest PDWs.
- Penetrates light armor of its era
- Shares ammo with TT - its sidearm
- Fires an intermedia cartridge - 7,62x25 Tokarev
I wouldn’t quite call 7.62 tokarev an intermediate cartridge
Just a regular pistol cartridge to me
@@yo_mama6414 a little more over pressured than the 7.65 Mauser it's based on.
@@memenadekhanh3992 I would consider 556 nato and 7.42 kurz and .30 carbine as an intermediate cartridge
Not a small little handgun round like this one
@@yo_mama6414 they did make a hotter loading for the sub guns that can't be used in the pistols, BUT that's not common so I wouldn't say overall it's a pdw. If anything the pps43 would be a pdw, if loaded hot , say with the newer 7.5fk carrridge
That is kind of a stretch. PDWs are extremely compact. Their diminutive size is their most defining feature. The first PDWs were machine pistols or SMGs that were cut down and reduced in size. The PPSh is around 33 inches long and 8 pounds in weight. It's size combined with the handgun cartridge it fires qualifies it as a SMG, but not a PDW. The FN P90, HK MP7, HK MP5K PDW, Steyr TMP/B&T TP9, CZ VZ61, and other iconic PDWs offered high cyclic rates in extremely compact dimensions. Penetrating body armor and firing a bottle necked handgun cartridge weren't requirements of the PDW concept until the 1990s and still aren't necessary to the degree that compact dimensions are. Note that many modern PDWs involve simply adding a stock to a handgun.
Let me tell you, as a recent time viewer, I really appreciate that you still took the time to explain the open bolt mechanics as I only started wanting to understand how firearms work this year and videos like these have slowly fed me great info bit by bit
I would highly recommend a channel, in addition to this one, called Forgotten Weapons. That gentleman focuses mostly on the history and mechanical aspects of the firearms.
He's got plenty of mechanical demonstrations and explanations on his videos, so there's plenty of good stuff to check out. Also, there's a game that might interest you: World Of Guns: Gun Disassembly has plenty of features and animations to let you see and try to understand the function of firearms by yourself, it takes time but you can unlock a lot of the guns without payng. None of the models are super high quality but they're good enough, they even have small turrets and other crazy stuff modelled that would make any 50k piece puzzle seem like a joke. Either way, if you do dip your toes in (in case it is a posibility wherever you live) remember that safety is always first and watching an online tutorial for firearm handling would do no harm
@@Panzersoldat yeah, Ian does make pretty good videos
Awesome you guys, I've been soaking up a lot of stuff through guntubers such as Forgotten Weapons, Kentucky Ballistics, Garand Thumb, Colion Noir, Demolition Ranch, and Angry Cops and it's been wild giving me a whole new perspective on things. I really do hope to own firearms of my own soon, the good news is I do live in the US, bad news is that I'm in California
@@Panzersoldat Generally a good idea to avoid him. He is... politically active with... interesting friends and there is a reason people like Brandon don't hang out with him or his crowd...
After a rough day, your totally keep it real tube gives me some fun time.. respect from Australia.
Thanks man. Love the PPSH.
That MP40 mag adapter was a really cool piece of history. Had no idea that existed.
Yeah, Me too!!! I'd prefer a Ppsh, but when You can get more ammo off the fallen, then You pick the MP40. That's COD WAW, talk. 😅
I still kinda like the rate of fire of the mp40. The pp is smoother though. I really like the stg44. Lol
It's like a truck that trucks trucks.
I herd you like taking ammo, so we put their ammo in your ammo sprayer.
Same
Me too =)
That is a REALLY good FPSRussia impression.
Also the tiny amount of recoil for such a blistering fire rate is still impressive to this day.
You mean Russian impression
Ironic.
FPSRussia was impersonating Russian too.
"That is a REALLY good FPSRussia impression." Lol what?
"WHO"😂😂😂rip mentioned channel.
@@Ren505nm No one said "Who".
Very cool video,thanks a lot(adapter for mp40 mags are insane)
My grandgranddad passed through 3 years of war with ppsh41 and he didn't like it at all
Drum mags are heavy and take a lot of time to reload,also not really reliable
Ppsh itself is reliable(except stuck between bolt and chamber shells) but may shoot if you drop it from 3 feet and it lands on stock
My grandgranddad really loved mp40 and pps43 cause they were more reliable and more mobile in buildings and woods
Ppsh was produced at many factories of the USSR. Spontaneous shooting is a childhood disease of the early stage of production. Wedges any automatic weapon. The weight of the drum is compensated by the number of cartridges. Mp-40 was not pleased with the accuracy of shooting and rate of fire, and also had only 30 rounds.
Man I can't say much cuz you gave us the best info on how to change your mind on guns and beer 😅 love your work please keep your great work 💯💯💯💯
HEY Brandon, I built a fully functional PPSH-41 from scratch. I am from Argentina (a country close to being communist), I was 17 years old and I was a fan of that weapon so I got a plan and I made it with household tools.

I was actually glad you included the part explaining the difference between the Cyrillic and English versions of what the gun is called. Nothing crazy about that. Just accurate.
He has already explained this before, but I still don't understand what is the difficulty in pronouncing the original name? After all, no one reads the last letters separately in the word "light", so what's so difficult about saying "Sh" and not pronouncing S h separately? Especially if he has no problems with it. Americans love to come up with names for everything, even if it already has a name.

The Germans actually converted & issued 9x19 Parabellum PPSh-41’s. They were designated MP-41(r) Unconverted PPSh-41’s were designated as MP-717(r) and given 7.63x25 Mauser which is identical to 7.62x25 Tokarev apart from powder charge
People talk about Ukrainian hack jobs but damn if "German Engineering" isn't a thing!
Can I correct you? You made a mistake, unconverted PPSh was called MP41(r), while PPSh, chambered in 9 19 was called MP717(r). And what about differences between 7,62 25 and 7,63 25; Tokarev cartridge apart from different powder charge has a different primer, which actually was borrowed from 7,62 38 nagant revolver cartridge

The "ADD Break" was unexpected, yet greatly appreciated. Also, one of my favorite WWII platforms. The look, the sound, the feel. Love it!
I love that the casings fly straight up into your face to make sure there’s not even a thought of aiming
i've fired one of these at a range that had rentals. it is a fond memory. i don't recall the one i fired have a selector, i fired everything in bursts.
and i'd say it's one of those really easy to make at home full auto's, as it is an open bolt. like the grease gun. bolt picks up a round, chambers it, fires it, recoils.
if the trigger has been released, it stop ths bolt from repeating the process. if the trigger was held, FULL AUTO!!!
The thing I love about the PPSH-41 is it has next to no recoil even when it's shot full auto.

@@bigredwolf6that's the number of Jews killed in Holocaust.
I mean come on, there were 16 supposed "factories" making PPSh-41s, in order to to make 6 million of them that means they would have to be working 24/7 for 6 years. The math just doesn't add up (This is just a joke)
Unfortunately, I am getting hooked on your videos. Your no BS demeanor and attitude is highly recommended! Great job on the bud lite six pack, yeah no caps for bud lite, it is after all, piss water! Recommendation for future videos, CZ-52, in that expensive 7.62x25 chambering. I put hardened rollers on mine with a rebounding firing pin and an 18lb recoil spring. Not pretty or user friendly, but the roller locked action in a pistol is an interesting engineering feat!
I appreciated your esoteric breakdown of the name. I was confused on the names and didn't know why.
I love how Brandon always throws knowledge in with his content. Whether it be thr breakdowns of the guns, or historic facts. Yes, the shooting shit is fun, but I love me some learning as well. Thanks brother. Keep it coming! 🥃
This is my favorite firearm of all time. Not only is it a very iconic weapon,but its so damn beautiful
Mad respect for showing up the cyrilic for the name of the SMG. Most Muricans and especially the gun folk disrespect too much. But I appriciate it. Also love all the videos I've watched so far.
Somthing about a submachine gun with a wood stock makes me happy

Casually admitting to war crimes on RUclips 💪🏼
I’ve seen instances like that, captured PPShs and even a captured M1 Garand rifle.
@@texasvet2729confiscating weapons and ammo isn't a war crime.
Such a beauty. This is one of those guns I loved as a kid playing video games, and that love never went away
Cool video thanks brother
Brandon has gotten so good at firing Semi that he can confuse people indoors.
Thank you Comrade Brandon for reviewing the gun of my great grand father who used it in ww2.
Much love to our American brothers 💪🏻🇷🇺🇺🇲
Too bad your leader/country is openly threatening nuclear war with the world and actively invading and killing its neighbors that it also considers "brothers"...
Much love, brother. 🇺🇲
May we be allies sometime in the future🇺🇲 ZOV🇷🇺
@@Thrashmetal2130 first we the peoples both russian and american citizens, we gotta take out the tyranny plaguing both our respective countries first as as militant allies.
@@metalpunk1234 oh i prefer Putin or Medwedew a million times over the Dems Globalists or the Russophobic Cold War WarMongers,...
I like how he finds all these old guns in such great condition for the most part. They all function very well
The magic of video editing.
@@amosmoses5630 yea maybe
As he said, this was a "parts kit", so basically they had to re-weld and rebuild the whole gun, that definitely helps...
@@dubi127 well he did a damn good job then. I didn’t hear him say that
@@TaylorFirearms-4x4 Brandon mentions it at 12:07
It is very important weapon in history or usssr . Good video, thank s for your work
Would love a video on the re-barrelling - PPSHs aren't to hard to find here (and fairly cheap at 700 bucks a pop), but the ammo requires a mortgage to buy...
Something about that mag adapter gave me goosebumps. Real, rugged, brutal history. I thought it was kinda funny considering I have several fighting rifles from the era, and you're holding a machine gun from '45, but really cemented in the reality of the conflict I think. Weapons are made continuously, and will always be made as long as humans are around. But little things like that, are generally only made when it's the twelfth hour and that bell is about to motherfuckin chime. Great stuff
To Quote TF2 sniper:
As long as there are two people on this world, there is someone wanting someone dead.
@@Yokoto12343 the fact that it's accurate shows how much of a bunch of assholes humans are
@@Yokoto12343 Too true
Fun tarkov fact,its the only automatic gun in the game that wont jam. I love their attention to detail.
That bud light segment just won my subscription!!!!!!
Senor Herrera , THIS is The best Video I ever Seen About PPSH 41 ( Pepesha ) lol,,,,,!!!!!!!!!
Love the PPSH-41! Great gun, looks so damn cool!
❤❤❤
MP40 looks way better.
Bug i love the PPSH too.😂
@@TexasChilliMassacre no its not eeww
@@aifinka9227 yes it does,yeah
@@TexasChilliMassacre no it doesnt
That magazine adapter was truly the most, oh wow, moment in this video. I truly never knew that something like this was made. I get capturing guns and ammunition, but this is like an official aftermarket kit from wartime.
i would say its about 5 ounces of german cope lol.
Love this film.
Hi Brandon,
Please keep up the good work in explaning the functioning of weapons and their use. And especially the humor. 😂
I don't know if this is true, but I understand that the PPSH-41 was a very popular weapon amongst the Waffen SS soldiers and a large amount of the PPSH-41 were found here in Holland in the province of Limburg. Do you know anything about this story?
Much succes with this channel, Richard
If you're going to complete the WW2 smg set, you need to see if you can get your hands on an Owen gun. Arguably the best smg of the war.
A sub-machinegun as iconic as the WWII Russian uniform itself, can't remember any form of media representing the motherland without someone carrying one of those bullet hoses around. Another awesome video, Brandon 🤘
No one cosplays as a Russian soldier, or officer, or anything of the sort. Why? Because their uniforms were trash. Functional! but, ugly as sin with no style.
Move forward, you turn around you'll get shot from the front too 😂
As a Russian, you rambling on about ppsh vs ппш and sudaev vs shpagin was awesome. Very well accepted. Means you took the time to learn and appreciate some Russian history.
I really enjoyed this :)
For me personally, this is my favorite gun in existence
There’s just something about it, y’know? I dunno if it’s the looks, or the mechanics behind it, or just the sound it makes when it shoots (probably all of them), but I just really love the PPSH-41
Nice to see you talking about it👍
The simple perfection of that sear! *cheff kiss*
For me, its a close match between the PPSh-41 and the good old Mosin-Nagant.
I think it’s because of COD 😂
@@sirnoname6943 I don't actually play COD 🤣
@@sirnoname6943 the only COD I've played was Black Ops. I don't remember seeing the PPSH-41 there
9:07 nonono please go on more rambling esoteric gun rants we love them
Saw one of these a few years ago at Bass Pro that was semi automatic of course but it is a .22 LR. All I could think in my mind was it needed to be extra semiautomatic . But it looked to be a fun range tool.
It's crazy to see how well such an old gun works
A few days ago I wondered if Brandon was going to use some thing other than white claw as a target this week. He does not disappoint.
But to think of it, he will have to BUY it
Loved this gun back in World at War. It was pretty nifty being able to light up players and get called super bad words with this gun.
Now, there's a COD that deserves a remaster.
It was my favorite gun in call of duty 2!
@@HunterBidenscrack I love using it in Far Cry 6, along with the SKS.
@@ryeguy7941 the SKS made clearing out outposts in stealth super easy, loved the gun.
@MrPwner911 It's such a good gun to use, hell it was the first gun I bought after getting my PAL.
Slam fire weapons are just incredible please do the beautiful trench gun if you haven’t.
Love the rate of fire on these and the design
By far one of the most stable 9mm sub guns I’ve seen
Always love the breakdowns Brandon you see these firearms in video games and movies but rarely does anyone take the time to show and explain how they function
Brandon has the best job ever
Hat's off to you, Brandon, for attempting to wade into the murky and contentious waters of transliteration. PPSh is the best way to represent it in regular latin characters. As always, great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce it.
I love how open bolt machineguns are pretty much just a controlled runaway magazine.
Gun design is awesome.
They're actually simpler to design than semi-autos lmao
Genius. As one famous comrade once said, "War is the locomotive of history!". Extra points for knowing who said it.
PPŠ-41 is a really cool gun! The firerate is amazing!
Ive been a fascinated fan of the PPsh41 ever since CoD zombies. This was a great video. I'm so jealous. I've always pictured an army of russians with PPsh41's and just the insane amount of lead flying.
Actually there were assault companies and even battalions, armed with only ppsh and mashine guns
