Description
A WW2 (1943 dated) Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun, fitted with original 71 round drum magazine. This weapon fires the 7.62x25mm Tokarev pistol round, at a rate of 900rpm with an effective range of up to 300 metres. It was designed to be durable yet easily mass-produced, with 6 million of them made by the end of the war. When captured by Wehrmacht troops, many replaced their own weapon with the PPSh-41, proving it's reliability...This weapon is deactivated. Let me know what you think, comments and criticism are appreciated. Thanks for looking!

You should get another toy AK and paint it as you did- it looks awesome, it's legal, and a kalashnikov is more iconically Russian! A DP-28 would be cool, but to the general public, it's just another gun.

Beautiful weapon and beautiful shot. I'd love to get my hands on one and I do have the money to buy one from that site... then of course there's other priorities like saving for things I may get more practical use out of XD

Practical use? Look, I'm from the US, so I'm obviously a gun-loving retard, but I do have to say that a fully-automatic weapon has no real practical use. Except for venting anger, turning burglars into chunks of flesh and paste on the ground, and wasting your hard-earned money on ammo that'll last you all of about two hours of entertainment. And that's if you take it slow and you have a least sever thousand rounds already put into clips/drums/belts.

Thanks, it is indeed. And "practical use"? Pfft... what a ridiculous thing to say. It's the useless things in life I enjoy the most.
But seriously, at the moment I have everything practical I need, so I put my money into my collection. Plus, if you were to buy a weapon from there, they only increase in value as such historical items become rarer. I'm obsessed with WW2 history and am a compulsive collector, so I guess buying something like this is worth it for me, though it's not the kind of thing you just buy because it seemed to be a good idea at the time...

Very nice, So I assume they must not make ammo for it anymore if you have it in your possession, IE fully automatics are illegal for civilians.......

The PPSh-41 is still used today, the ammunition is definitely available. I presume in the USA they have semi-auto converts... This weapon is deactivated.

In the US, there are semi-automatic conversions, but with the proper licensing from the federal government, you can own a fully-automatic version. And yes, you do really need to save up your money if you want to ever use it as such, due to the extremely high firing rate.

Since it was made before 1989, you could have it restored to firing condition and have it registered, since it would be grandfathered. Thats what I'm doing with my WWII Sten MkII smg.

I would do, if I could... This weapon has been deactivated in accordance to UK law, preventing it from ever firing again. Unfortunately, it's near impossible to own firearms here. Anyway, I have this for historical purposes: I really have no need for working guns, as much fun as they'd be!

you can own fire arms in the "uk" all the chavy people do you just get a FAC and joint a club

ToxicGas In reply to cloudy-cola-corp-kgb [2009-04-28 22:31:08 +0000 UTC]
I'd have thought that was way too much effort for a chav, with all the procedures involved. Anyhow, even with a license, the restrictions will be very tight. So no Gatling gun for me...

cloudy-cola-corp-kgb In reply to ToxicGas [2009-04-30 16:08:28 +0000 UTC]
i suppose in the uk you can only use burst semi auto or boltguns
and the chavs dont get FAC's they buy air guns and drill out the barrel to shoot live rounds

Exactly. With luck, they blow up in their hands.

Aww man, I didn't know you were in the UK, its a shame that all of those historic guns you guys had were take away/deactivated, I'm sure a lot of significant guns were destroyed. I know what you mean though, I love history, I just thought it would be fun to have one in working order, beautiful gun though anyway!

ToxicGas In reply to JackalopeBoy [2009-02-16 09:08:24 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I know what you mean. But at least this way, a piece of history such as this can still be appreciated, even if a working one can't be owned. In many cases, WW2 guns are being completely destroyed... there's just no sense in that.

Understood, its a shame to see them ruined, but prefferable to seeing them chopped up.
