Our Assessment: Pistolét-pulemyót Shpágina, Burp Gun, pa-pa-shaw: all of these names refer to the infamous Russian assault rifle from World War II. Russian soldiers during the early 1940s were dealing with the pitfalls and chaos of urban warfare, so they needed a rapid fire compact rifle. Production of the PPSH started in 1941, and these rifles were used by the Russian Army, earning particular fame during the battle for Stalingrad. The original PPSH 41 rifle is one of the fastest production submachine guns of WWII. The gun’s designer, a man by the name Shpagin, delivered a prototype to the Russian military that was easily manufactured and used the Tokarev 7.62×25 cartridge, Russia’s readily available military cartridge. In the field the PPSH was a durable, low-maintenance weapon that earned its reputation for reliability and ruggedness 100 times over, as demonstrated in multiple films like “Enemy at the Gates”. Now, you can own a piece of history with this semi-automatic clone of the PPSH-41. These units are built using original Polish Military kits with enough US parts to comply with current regulations. These truly are the next best thing to having an original wartime fully-automatic version. Whether you are a military history buff or just enjoy the look and feel of old submachine guns, this gun is for you! It comes with a dated approval letter (2007) from the U.S. Department of Justice ATF to Mr Wendling of Wise Lite Arms concluding that the proper modifications have been made by Wise Lite Arms to make it legal and fully transferable. Please see our photos and description below and good luck on your bid!
