Suomi KP/-31 (aka Suomi M/31), commonly known as Suomi sub-machine gun ('''''Suomi konepistooli''''') in Finland, was a sub-machine gun based on the early [[Bergmann MP18]] design. First designed in 1922, by Aimo J. Lahti, the gun was revealed to public in 1925. It is among one of the most succesful gun designs of World War II.

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.

Chinese Type 43 Submachine Gun PPS-43 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. This is virtually identical to the Soviet Model save for markings.

Information

During the siege of Leningrad, the PPS-43 "Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudaeva" submachine gun was developed. 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. Note: The PPS-43 is commonly misidentified as the PPSh-43, which is incorrect, but understandable since it is a descendant of the PPSh-41.
