The problem with the PPSH 41 isn't the gun, its those drum magazines. If you found one that worked well in your gun, it might not work at all in a different gun. A high rate of fire does not automatically make a gun more effective, but it will help you run out of ammo faster. When the soldiers got down to their last drum, I'm guessing they switched to semi auto and left it there until they found more ammo.
How much were the PPsH 41 used with stick magazines? (32 round?)
I have been able to shoot one a couple of times and was really impressed with it.
I have only shot stick magazines though.
Pointed naturally, no recoil, no muzzle blast, very little tendency to rise, built like a tank, light ammo to carry, a round that penetrated well, kinda heavy... but not compared to a Thompson!I
