The PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina; russian text: Пистолет-пулемёт Шпагина; "Shpagin machine pistol") is a 7.62×25mm submachine gun used by the Soviet military during World War II. It was developed by "Georgy Shpagin":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Shpagin in mid-1941 as a simpler, lower-cost alternative to the earlier PPD-40, and it entered service the same year. The weapon is commonly pictured with a 71-round drum magazine, while the 35-round curved box magazine (weapon) were also widely used.
