A fully loaded drum mag would take 71 rounds, there are 32 rounds left so someone fired 39 rounds and then stopped. Considering where it was mostly used and how inaccurate the weapon was compared to other weapon platforms around at the time, it is unlikely that whoever fired those rounds stopped because there was no longer a threat. Restoring this firearm is a real good way to show respect to someone's last moments.
You sell it short. It was probably the best, cheap SMG around at the time. It was good enough that the Wehrmacht issued them as standard to its troops even in the early 40s as it was better than anything they had as well as being available.
С такой скорострельностью как у него, хватало точности. С этого ПП стреляли не на дальность, в на среднюю дистанцию и ближнюю. Достаточно было той точности и скорострельности чтобы подавить врага
Accuracy was fine considering the rate of fire this thing could output and it was perfect for close quarters which was ideal for the circumstances the soviets were in at the time. The thing you gotta remember is these things had to be manufactured consistently and hastily while the enemy was basically on their doorstep and what they achieved was an engineering miracle. This is a legendary weapon imo.

Absolutely beautiful work. It was incredible to see this gun had a full drum of ammo still in it, as well as powder that still ignited! It makes me wonder if the soldier who carried it lost his life. I can’t imagine why else it would have been left behind (aside from a retreat).
I heard in some documentaries that they were horrible. They had problem cycling when them drum got just a little dirty from dust, dirt, or mud. Sometimes, they didn't have to be dirty at all they just failed on their own. They are awesome looking and wood like to have one but would not like to be stick with it in war.

Maravilhoso trabalhado de restauração, mantendo a originalidade do desgaste pelo tempo e condições em que estava a peça, impedindo seu funcionando de forma definitiva e transformando algo destruído em algo histórico. Parabéns irmão.
@outogetyougotyou5250 the world is all sunshine and roses to people who live in fairy land. The people who take away the armaments also use the absence of such to reduce population. The cultural enrichment of western women by mass immigration is so wonderful, right? Everything is a coincidence theory with the dull and impressionable.
Took a fossil and restored it. Awesome Job! I was hoping for a full restoration though. Also, a live demonstration to show the gun still works would have been awesome.
I can't help but immediately think that the misfired round cost a soldier his life and this weapon hit the ground and lay there gathering this debris. The restoration is amazing and I hold that in high regard, the image of the misfire and a jammed round just hit home as a person who lost family members in WW2.
Agree with the music suggestion. It definitely has to go. Just use the ambient sounds of the tools. You can then record room tone for 25 minutes and lay that “almost silent” sound underneath all your assembled edit clips on it’s own separate audio track. The audio will soften the room tone inconsistencies between your various clips and link them together audio wise.
That’s what I was thinking. Every time he kept taking more and more parts off, I kept going. “Holy shit I’d never in a million years be able to put that back together.” 😅
Very good work. It would be even better if you had soldered everything, then the weapon wouldn't look like a crater landscape on the moon. If you were to find used, original wooden parts for this weapon, it would certainly look even better. Still, thumbs up, congratulations! Good job.
As a welder in training, I know the feeling of satisfaction of wire grinding rust off of metal🤤. Also, the amount of research into the deep details of this ancient Soviet weapon shows your true dedication to your work. Amazing job👍
As a fellow welder I’d like to point out grinding off the rust on something really rusty is worthless unless it’s been treated after because it’ll just rust again no matter what
Those bullets look so cool, but its a bit sad because you know the person who had this didnt stand a chance, but at least shot off about 2/3rds of their drum
Quite precise restoration of this heavily rusted submachine gun. Some activities can probably be performed using sandblasting, it would be more precise. However, the restorer's goal was to perform these activities by sanding and this should be respected. The purpose of clogging the barrel and firing pin is to remove the features that make it possible to shoot (!). Congratulations and best regards 💖👋😀.
@@calebmeyer616 this is a historic piece, nor a firearm anymore, in terms of practical reasons. So it restored it in a way that it's in best shape possible keeping as original as it can be from the way it was, and to conserve it and exhibit, not for use. Amd it would probably blow up if fired and destroy a piece of history for good. The metal is way too corroded and with its integrity compromised. He repaired it to look good and to be sturdy enough to be held and stuff
Suomi KP/-31 (Suomi-konepistooli m/31), designed by Aimo Lahti and introduced in 1931. The KP/-31 was one of the most effective and influential submachine guns of its time and heavily influenced later designs, including the Soviet PPSh-41. The KP/-31 was particularly known for its high accuracy, durability, and reliable performance in extreme cold, which was essential in Finland’s winter conditions. The KP/-31 also featured a 71-round drum magazine similar to the one later seen on the PPSh-41, as well as a box magazine option. The Soviets were impressed with the KP/-31 during the Winter War (1939-1940) between Finland and the Soviet Union, where Finnish forces used the KP/-31 to great effect. The success of the KP/-31 likely inspired the development of the PPSh-41 as the Soviets sought to create a similar weapon optimized for mass production.
Whoa, a Suomi! That thing must have been in the ground since the Winter War, and since it was half-fired empty presumably who ever last fired it probably has their skeleton lying near where this gun was found. It's an amazingly simple yet robust design and an absolute pleasure watching it be restored like this!
Am not so much a gun person myself but I really enjoyed this from a purely restoration of an antique standpoint. Amazing. Might not be such a good idea to test fire that weapon though.
As i seen more of the corrosion falling away i did wonder how much would be left to restore at the end and kept lowering my expectations but you worked a miracle there getting the the moving parts moving again
Wow.....a real life PPSH "Papa Shaw" from WWII!! Nice restore. Glad it was cleaned and restored, not rebuilt to look newer with replacement parts. That would have been a waste of a great relic! That would look amazing on a wall or display cabinet. 🤤🤤
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing! This is exactly what I needed to watch at 5 am. I must say, though. I'm sure there was good reason, but man, did I want to see you fire it afterwards. 😂 The PPSH is so legendary. By far, my favorite firearm from that era. Keep up the amazing work!
I’m very much impressed by his knowledge and skills to be able to do what he just did.. I’m definitely a subscriber of this channel now.. GREAT JOB SIR
I was watching this with headset on when @2:07 i heard my dad scream HOLY SHITTT!! i got so frightened looked at him (i didnt know he was watching from behind too) and realized he was soo shocked to see the magazine still fully loaded. i mean, is it really a big deal?
i know that grinding the Firing pin flat and pinning the barrel was necessary for legal and hazard reasons but it made me so upset. i'd love to see this thing somewhat work, even though it most likely wouldn't :
@David_Vitek no, it isn't. There's more to it than that. After all that work and its age it's likely some of the hardening done to the metal on stress points has faded meaning it could blow up in your hands.
Why did you scrape it all with a screwdriver to get the dirt out? Why not just put it in a bath and let the dirt dissolve away? Could’ve saved a lot of time and effort.
The solution is expensive and it can only hold a certain amount of rust per ml... So you want to get as much off as you can first. That means knocking all the dirt off then scraping all the rust below. I would also assume that in general if the solution gets saturated with dirt and other debris it will be less efficacious at holding rust.
Not actually restored properly he only knew grinding and sprays not removed rust proper not used Sand paper not used battery current to remove rust he not worked well on the surface not good color its can be proper restored
Wow I can't even imagine the ammount of hours you have in this resurrection!! It'd be cool to see your armory of all your restorations under one roof!!
I don't know if I'm more impressed by the restoration or by the fact he was able to put it all back together.
I'll put half and half

so good and hardworking. I'm a repair girl from Vietnam
Wow.....a real life PPSH "Papa Shaw" from WWII!!
Nice restore. Glad it was cleaned and restored, not rebuilt to look newer with replacement parts. That would have been a waste of a great relic!
That would look amazing on a wall or display cabinet. 🤤🤤
32:25 I put it in the Pack a Punch
Lol
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing! This is exactly what I needed to watch at 5 am. I must say, though. I'm sure there was good reason, but man, did I want to see you fire it afterwards. 😂 The PPSH is so legendary. By far, my favorite firearm from that era. Keep up the amazing work!
First rule of restoration:
If there is deep pitting, always do an electrolysis after take apart.
Judging by the amount of ammo, I'm betting the owner of that weapon died on the battlefield 😢
I’m very much impressed by his knowledge and skills to be able to do what he just did.. I’m definitely a subscriber of this channel now.. GREAT JOB SIR
I was watching this with headset on when @2:07 i heard my dad scream HOLY SHITTT!! i got so frightened looked at him (i didnt know he was watching from behind too) and realized he was soo shocked to see the magazine still fully loaded. i mean, is it really a big deal?
Banging on a mag full of ammo with a hammer is typically frowned upon 🤣🤣
i know that grinding the Firing pin flat and pinning the barrel was necessary for legal and hazard reasons but it made me so upset.
i'd love to see this thing somewhat work, even though it most likely wouldn't :
Thank you for retiring the gun.
Why don’t you invest in a sandblasting machine, save you time and money
One Word "Sandblaster" Get one....
Sure... if you're lazy or something!
Lmaaaaooooo
Too messy.
Awesome video, much respect for all the patience and craftmanship!
Gunpowder still burn.
Rifle still good.
Rifle is fine, take to range.
Its not a rifle its an smg turned into a rifle
@@Rimm2300 rifle is fine
@David_Vitek no, it isn't. There's more to it than that. After all that work and its age it's likely some of the hardening done to the metal on stress points has faded meaning it could blow up in your hands.
@@solomonpachowiak106 it's a meme
@@David_Vitek never heard it, sounds fucking stupid.
Why did you scrape it all with a screwdriver to get the dirt out? Why not just put it in a bath and let the dirt dissolve away? Could’ve saved a lot of time and effort.
The solution is expensive and it can only hold a certain amount of rust per ml... So you want to get as much off as you can first. That means knocking all the dirt off then scraping all the rust below.
I would also assume that in general if the solution gets saturated with dirt and other debris it will be less efficacious at holding rust.

Nice job on the restoration! To clarify, the gun was preserved for display rather than actual use.
Why does it look like it came out of bikini bottom 😂
... but.. i wanted you to shoot it again. The pin through the barrel to prevent that?
Though I think too much metal has worn away, you 've gone through a lot of work; beautiful indeed ! Thank you !
Not actually restored properly he only knew grinding and sprays not removed rust proper not used Sand paper not used battery current to remove rust he not worked well on the surface not good color its can be proper restored
You clearly failed chemistry class it was given a rust treatment in like the first 3 minutes somewhere
You can't restore something that rusted.
Clearly you can
You can’t, but you can make it presentable to be used in a museum!
I think you saw the wrong video
Came to RUclips to watch something else, saw this preview and got distracted.. now I can’t remember why I logged on.. 😂😂😂 nice vid
Couldn’t finish due to horrible music.
Couldn't care due to ur comment .
@@MarkpaulLewis-gx5iv couldn’t formulate a coherent sentence either now could you? Ha!!
u gonna pap it?
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK !!!! I’d be honored to hang that on my wall as a decoration. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
14:25 that is not a working trigger.
Nobody asked, but okay......
Best restoration ive ever seen. So beautiful!
Wow I can't even imagine the ammount of hours you have in this resurrection!! It'd be cool to see your armory of all your restorations under one roof!!
It can't shoot
All the stuff he does and my mind its BLOWN from the simple ball bearing manufacturing technique. Will remember that on forever.
I love seeing a restoration start out with a flathead screwdriver and hammer.
Amazing, most people would have thrown that away! Thanks for saving a great piece of history 👍🏼👍🏼
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
It has to be a clear picture in one's mind before it can become reality.
