It actually was better I believe for all of the reasons you gave. Especially the higher production numbers. There are tons of pics of the Germans using the PPSH. The Russians would equip whole battalions with them. Cosidering that the majority of the Eastern Front major infantry battles were in cities/towns/villages, etc. all through Germany and Eastern Europe, a subgun is extremely practical over a rifle. |

Oh yes much better. Higher capacity, faster rate of fire, more powerful, penetrative cartridge.
Aside from unknow accuracy comparisons (which wasn't that important for the compared weapons) the PpSH wins hands down. |

Having shot both full auto ones the ppsh wins purely because of the piss your pants rate of fire and general loudness of the gun.

yes it is. and i have nothing more to add to this discussion, other than the fact that if i'm ever trapped in WW2 russia, in a video game, i'd prefer the PPSH over the MP40...... ........but only by a small margin....... |

If I recall correctly there was a semi auto PPSH coming out.

The Germans tried to modify the mp40 to have the capacity of the ppsh with little success.
Some may disagree with me, but I think that the PPsh was the most instrumental small arm of the war. I won't go so far as to say it was a better weapon, but it was better suited for those who were using it than any other gun. |

I prefer being able to change out magazines on the MP-40.
And the German users of the PPSH? Maybe they weren't discarding MP-40's but bolt action Mausers instead? I would prefer a PPSH over a bolt action rifle, especially in street fighting. |

PPSh41 all the way.
Even using the 35rnd stick mags instead of the 71rnd drum the penetration (heavy clothing/flak vests & helmets) & flat shooting 7.62x25 cartridge kicks ass over 9x19. 100yrd shots requiring little in the way of hold over vs a more rainbow trajectory of the 9x19 (not to mention the near mortar-like .45acp). The best smg of WW2 IMHO was the PPS43. Same flat shooting 7.62x25 ammo, lower ROF than the PPSh41 (to conserve ammo & better control), folding stock for compact storage. If I was going to be in harms way & had to grab a WW2 smg I'd take the PPSh41. If I hit the lottery & was going to buy a WW2 NFA range toy I'd get a MP40. The superior fit & finish + style wins out, not to mention the easier to find/reload 9x19 ammo. |

Never played call Of Duty but in Medal Of Honor (it's been a while since I've done any online fps games) I always did better with the MP40. I could never hit a damn thing with the MP44 at close range due to the recoil & at long range I wasn't much better. I had better luck hiding & cranking off single shots & short 2-3 rnd bursts with the MP40, even at medium-long range...at least on maps with lots of nooks & crannies to hide in & lots of players. The MP44 had too much 'sturm und drang' distinctive muzzle blast & drew too much attention. |

I always dump my thompson, mp40 or ppsh in favor of the mp44. It has a coolness factor too. Besides it has a distinct sound when fired at you.  Any of ya'll go semi-auto with the mp44? I do that almost exclusively. |

PPSch-41 has longer range, higher rate of fire, higher ammo capacity, and is more accurate at long range due to the flat-shooting nature of its cartridge. Except for weight and length, it's superior to the MP-40 in just about every way.
PPS-43 was a compromise. It solved the problems of weight and length that the 41 had, had a lower rate of fire, and didn't have as much accuracy/range due to the shorter barrel. It also couldn't use the 71-rnd drums, just the 36-rnd mags. All in all, I'd take the PPSch-41 over any other WWII subgun. |

There are 3 different designs being worked on. None of them are available right now. Wise Lite Arms is working on one to be distributed through Military Gun Supply Allied Armament is working on their own solution. Not sure who's making the third variant. Weaponeer, perhaps? Also, InterOrdnance briefly tried producing one called an SR41. They no longer sell the converted PPSH-41's, but last I saw they were selling receivers. Sam |

PPSH.
Think about it, It's a russian small arm. You can probably submerge it in quicksand, lube with tar and then go out in -40 degree weather and still cycle a full mag without so much as a second thought. As for the omnipresent "horrible accuracy" stance, who cares, it's a subgun. On the other hand if I could personally acquire one or the other right now, today, to you know, defend the couch - I'd take the MP-40 in a heartbeat - way more cool. |

Latest news from Wise Lite Arms is maybe February. They are having some problems with their current design. Latest from Allied Armament, no particular date. They're still working on the bolt design. Probably have a couple of months there, too. Sam |

I already put down my credit card with MGS to buy one. I was hoping for Christmas delivery but I can wait I guess. They extended the barrel shroud along with the barrel to 16", it looks nice. |

Not really. I had great fun picking off the PPSH whores who thought that a large magazine was a substitute for aiming. My weapon of choice for bumping them off was a plain ol' K98. "He's using an aimbot!! HAXXORZ!!! CAMPER!!" Ah....Those were the days.... As far as real life..... Both were fundamentally good SMGs that gave good service. Personally I would have preferred the heavier 9mm cartridge. |
