everyone agrees that the ppsh 41 is the best ww2 smg right?

Heck of a shotgun.
>>33604497
Almost objectively the best but MP40 fags and muh .45 Thompson fags will be here shortly.
My favorite weapon in CoD: World at War :-)
>>33604497
It was overly complex and replaced by some stamped sheet metal, so no.
Nope, Suomi is best.
>>33604497
I want to say MP44 just to be the faggot that starts a fight but I won't.

>>33604497
in mass or just quality
>>33604497
I don't know if it's the best SMG of the war, but the ZK-383 is definitely my personal favorite in terms of aesthetics and for being generally cool. I mean, seriously, an SMG that was also supposed to be used as a SAW? Crazy crazy Czechs.

Exactly. The Suomi is the original PPSH 41- the Russians copied it, but made it worse to decrease costs. The KP/-31 is better in every way but cost.
>>33604497
No such thing as an objectively best weapon.
That being said, the Suomi was arguably better, but it was an upgraded version of the '41, and was used in smaller numbers (by the Finns and the Einsatzgruppe).
For its purpose of being rugged, cheap, and able to provide mass fire for troops who lacked proper LMGs in most instances, it did a good job.
PPS-43 was better liked by many

Where did you get this information? It is outright wrong.
The Suomi is similar to the ppd, but the ppsh-41 is very different.
>>33604683
Sorry, something I misread. The drums were specifically the thing copied for the ppsh-41 that were worse, not the entire gun.
>>33604584
both really, it found a pretty good middle ground between the two. Any attempts to decrease the cost or increase the quality of the weapon would've given negligible benefit in the overall picture of the war

Mate, it weighs nearly the double.
Owen gun

Literally the most uncomfortable gun to shoot in existence.

>replaced by some stamped sheet metal,
PPS didn't replace PPSh. They produced in parallel and both finally replaced by SKS and AK. According to soviet data PPS had less performance than PPSh but for soviets 10 times less cost was good enough compensation.

The successor of the PPSh-41 as well as anything short of a Sten, PPD or Thompshon is better.
