The PPS series of submachine guns can be seen in the following films, television series, and video games used by the following actors:
Information
The PPSh-41, "Pistolet Pulemyot Shpagina model of 1941", was a mass produced Submachine gun used by the Red Army during World War 2. Designed to be easier to manufacture and more reliable than the PPD-38/40 that it replaced, it was a great success in spite of its weight. This gun was used with 71 round drum magazine, but since 1942 PPSh was also used with 35 round stick magazine.
During the siege of Leningrad, the PPS-43 "Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudaeva" submachine gun was developped. Manufactured entirely within the city under siege, it was lighter and easier to use than the PPSh-41, dispensing with the drum magazine in favor of the 35 round stick magazine. However, the design was virtually suppressed after the war, though some production did occur in Soviet satellite states.
