PPSH-41

Add a PPSH-41?

 

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Maybe. Theres just not to many still up an' kicking.

[rustledmyjimmies 361]

Exactly what the previous poster stated, the gun may be very difficult to find in working condition.

[Capo 323]

the ww2 relics are cool, but there aren't THAT many lying around. People take things like pistols and/or a service rifle home after a war, a full blown smg is a little- eeeehhhh.

This was the Russian service rifle during WWII. I think :P

[Vector636 30]

Even though a lot may be broken and damaged I think there were around 6 million made and it was used in the Korean&Vietnam war in the form of Chinese copies. I think it is actually still used in some places

Would be nice if they were like STUPIDLY rare, Sort of like Mountain Dew was in the Mod, But as far as regular spawning goes I think the SKS is next, But i would love them to add an SMG like a Mini-Uzi or an MP5

The PPSH is no longer used in the military or widely used by the populace, even semi automatic.

Not to mention you have to add a whole new cartridge just for this, and the cartridge is barely used by other weapons.

Pointless

Uh, most notably Tokarev, CZ-52, M57, Type 54, PPS, M56... all the pistols I mentioned are quite common and inexpensive.

Ugh

 

Mosin Nagant - Most commonly mass fabricated rifle made by Russia in the World wars...

 

PPSH - Most commonly mass fabricated SMG made by Russia in the world wars.

 

you can still find them, they are not as reliable mind you, but they are there.

Really?

Prehaps you've heard of something called a TT-33 Tokarev? Something that will pretty much definitely be added.

 

I bet finding a PPs-43 is more common than this though, seeing as its more compact and simple to maintain. Just a guess, though.

Here is one for sale and another one for sale. That was with a few seconds of search fu, they don't appear to be that rare. "The total number of PPShs manufactured during World War II is estimated to be more than 6 million. In the form of the Chinese Type 50 (a licensed copy), it was still in use in Vietnam with the Viet Cong as late as 1970. According to the 2002 edition of The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II the PPSh was still in use with irregular military forces." source is cited with link, just a few seconds of wiki fu.

Maybe opt for something more like an current model LMG (light machine gun).

I'm talking about weapons that will be added to the game.

This is an an SMG.

Would prefer an RPK.

SVT-40 FTW

are those for sale in Russia?

All or any of those would be preferable to half the weapons already in the game.

That is awesome idea, i think you would sooner find ppsh than m4 in soviet russia apocalipse lol, mosin nagant is fine, its also russian ww2 weap

No, you probably wouldn't seeing as most countries don't want a SMG in some guys cabin. And a weapon this big is harder to hide than most.

 

And this game takes place over 20 years after the Soviet union collapsed... you know, like, now. 

The only reason you would find one was there was a civil war in Chernarus and some may have been used.

But mass amounts of AKM/AK-74s mean they're redundant. Plus, its been, almost 80 years since this game takes place and PPshs were made.

 

If you read my last post in "replace the M4" thread, you'll see my theory behind the M4.

By the way, just thought I'd mention Marstar Canada is selling original, fully-functioning, fully-automatic PPSh-41s for $500 a pop.

Just another weapon. Nothing special. i voted yes but there are still more important steps to do.
