The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming (1966).

The following firearms were used in the film The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming:



PPSh-41

Many of the Russians carry the PPSh-41 submachine gun, each with a box magazine. Although several of the Russians, such as Alexei Kolchin (John Phillip Law) and Lt. Rozanov (Alan Arkin), handle the PPSh, only Walt Whittaker (Carl Reiner) fires it when Rozanov drives towards him in a stolen black Volkswagen. Whittaker erroneously refers to the weapon as a "Tommy gun".

In WW2 America's Lend-Lease gave the Soviet Union Thompson machine guns, not used due to a lack of .45 ammo, and other small arms as well as the .30 Calibur machine gun as a mount on vehicles--So that could be the reason
