	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The PPSh-41 is a Soviet 7.62×25mm Tokarev submachine gun designed by Georgy Shpagin and fielded during World War II. It is an open-bolt, blowback-operated weapon built for fast, economical mass production, typically seen with either a 71-round drum magazine or 35-round box magazines. The PPSh-41 is best known for its high volume of fire, rugged simplicity, and widespread postwar distribution.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		The PPSh-41 was developed as a simplified successor to earlier Soviet submachine guns, emphasizing stamped construction and rapid wartime output. It became one of the most common Soviet infantry automatic weapons of World War II and remained in circulation for decades, spreading widely through allied supply, captured stocks, and postwar military aid. Its basic system—a simple blowback action firing from an open bolt—combined with large-capacity magazines made it effective for close-range engagements, especially in massed infantry use.
	~~<br>~~[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			In the [[Vietnam War]] era, PPSh-41 submachine guns (and closely related Chinese Type 50 copies) appeared among the diverse small arms used by communist forces in Southeast Asia. They were documented as captured weapons in Vietnam, including examples collected by Australian forces, reflecting the continued use of older but effective WWII-era SMGs alongside newer Soviet- and Chinese-pattern arms.
