The ppsh was/is actually a very good weapon. Very reliable and you can lay down quite a bit of ammo with it, quite accurately :D

Accuracy (spelling?) ainīt really that big of an issue in room to room fighting :) You just point the weapon and press the trigger ;) at 5 meters or less itīs almost hard to miss p-)

Well, very true, of course. But it is nice to know that you're using a reliable weapon that does HAVE accuracy.

The only reason for using the ppsh-41 alongside m-4 is the large amount of ammo in ready to use form . The drum from a ppsh-41 holds 71 rounds of 7.62x25mm so when you clear a hostile house just spray the bullets . For close combat it is great although completely archaic

so.. pick up a SAW or an RPK.. i would figure less chances of jams and old stuff falling apart.. i think they just found it, and kept it as they were clearing out the house.. not taking it into ops with them as a secondary.

it is a lot heavier
the Shpagin compared to the rpk is quite compact so some soldiers carry it when close combat is expected . Also many vehicles have a ak with a drum magazine or something as in-case-of-trouble spray-weapon
