Speaking of PPSH41, there is another quite interesting point about this gun. Although the PPSH41 is easy to produce and low in cost in terms www.biquge.info of overall performance, PPSH41 is not as good as M1931, but in order to match the performance of PPSH41 with M1931 as much as possible, and for the sake of the Soviet Union's face as a big country, the designers designed the capacity of the drum used in PPSH41 to 71 rounds, which is one more than the drum of M1931. In this way, PPSH41 is considered to be 'surpassing' M1931.

Although this was almost a self-deceptive joke in later generations, it is not difficult to explain if you take into account the circumstances of the time. At that time, the Soviet army was very frustrated because of this battle, after all, it was much ahead of the enemy in terms of strength and weapons (in general), but it was so miserable in terms of battle loss ratio, which was quite demoralizing. And if you study the imitation of the enemy's weapons at this time, it will definitely be more detrimental to the recovery of morale, but if you can make a better weapon than the original, then that's another story. Although this can be said to be a scam, in fact, the Soviet soldiers are still quite fond of PPSH41. And this proves to be a pretty good weapon as well.

(PS: PPSH41 is equipped with a 35-round curved magazine, although it is lighter than the drum in terms of weight, but it lacks the advantage of large ammunition load, so the number of distributions is very small, and the soldier's enthusiasm for this kind of magazine is also very average.) ）

After taking down the fourth enemy, Roy finally managed to get a PPSH41. In this kind of melee combat, the PPSH41's 71-round drum is definitely more advantageous than the MP40's 32-round magazine. Although Roy had never used this submachine gun with a wooden butt and a heat sheatsink sleeve, after a little consideration, he lowered his body and replaced the MP40 on his body with a PPSH41, and the magazine was also replaced.

"It's a bit weighty......" Roy picked up ppsh41, although the gap is not very big, but you can still feel the difference between it and mp40 in weight, although this will make the feel of use deviate, but for Roy, it's not too much of a problem.

(PS: The weight referred to here, i.e. PPSH41 is heavier than MP40, which refers to PPSH41 when it is equipped with 71 large drums.) In fact, the PPSH41 weighs only 3.62kg, while the MP40 has 4kg. However, taking into account the situation after reloading and the weight when carrying a large drum, the PPSH41 is indeed a bit heavier than the MP40. ）

Feeling that he was almost close, Roy didn't go any further, but picked up the PPSH41 he had just picked up, aimed directly at the enemy in front of him, and pressed the trigger......

"Dada-da-da!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and a Soviet soldier fell down with several shots, but because PPSH41 belonged to the Soviet army's own weapon, this gunshot did not attract enough attention from them, so the first soldier to fall can be said to have died almost in vain.

"Hmm...... What do you say about this feel? Roy looked at the PPSH41 in his hand again, although its design is relatively rough, giving people the feeling that it should be far inferior to the MP40 with a fine design in the field of accuracy, but Roy only used a few bullets to see it, and the fact seems to be not the case.

In order to confirm his inference, Roy continued to lie on the ground, aiming at the next target, and several bullets were fired, this time in order to confirm the situation, Roy tried his best not to be found in the case of a few more bullets, this time he confirmed the fact that although the accuracy of PPSH41 is not as good as MP40, but this is only what will happen to the first few bullets.

Due to the high rate of fire of the submachine gun, it must not be too stable when firing continuously, and the bullets will shoot out in a scattered manner, and at this time, this element of the gun itself is very much needed. Although the MP40 is finely crafted and the spread of the bullets fired is good, the dispersion is not good, and its recoil is not small, which is a little troublesome for German soldiers who use the burst mode.

However, although the accuracy of PPSH41 in the first few rounds fired (very few, it can be counted as less than 3 rounds, and even the 3rd shot should not be counted) is not as accurate as MP40, but the recoil of the gun itself is not large, which makes it easier for soldiers to stabilize the gun body, and PPSH41's shooting dispersion is also much higher than MP40, plus several times the ammunition load of MP40, which makes it not only last longer, but also more accurate fire coverage of an area.

(PS: The dispersion of ballistics is the dispersion of the impact point or explosion point of a projectile in a certain area when the same weapon system is fired continuously under the same conditions.) The better the walk, the more concentrated the impact point, which also indicates that this type of weapon is more suitable for continuous fire. ）

Although he didn't like it all at once, the first two shots made Roy's evaluation of this weapon go up a notch. Although it looks a little clumsy, it is a thick and thin, steady and powerful weapon. He was already thinking at this time, after this battle, he must scavenge some PPSH41 back, although its large wooden butt design is not necessarily suitable for the interior of a tank with limited space, but its strength is naturally undoubted.

In the first few sneak attacks, Roy's advantage in using PPSH41 was unmistakable, although the enemy saw his teammates falling, but Roy's gunfire was mixed with the Soviet army's own gunfire, and it was impossible to distinguish at all. As a result, although Roy did not change his firing position at all, the enemy never found him.

After continuous firing, another advantage of PPSH41 - heat dissipation is reflected, and its extremely luxurious heat dissipation hole design in the eyes of Western designers has been fully exerted, which leads to PPSH41 in continuous combat, will not lose too much accuracy due to the rise in the temperature of the barrel. Coupled with its own burst dispersion advantage, this gun is even better than MP40 in Roy's hands. (To be continued.) )
