PPSh-41
The PPSh-41, "Pistolet Pulemyot Shpagina model of 1941", (PPSh-41) 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 a 71 round drum magazine (matched to the weapon and not necessarily interchangeable with those from other guns), but since 1942 the PPSh-41 was also used with 35 round stick magazines, since the "disk" (as the Soviets preferred to call it) was heavy and hard to load. The PPSh-41 has become completely inseparable from the image of a generic WWII Red Army trooper (quite accurately since entire divisions were equipped with them), and thus is found on countless monuments.
The PPS-43 is a partially related successor development, but is often incorrectly cited as a derivative or variant of the PPSh-41.
