So if what is left over is pasta, what does it shoot out?
silly you, whoever said those stuffs on the ground are the empty shell? those are the actual bulllets that fell down to the ground because, well, who can load a gun when the other hand is busy holding liquor?
Is PPSh-41 the best SMG in WW2? Considering rate of fire, accuracy, firepower, reliability.
The PPSh-41 was crap honestly, it could be manufactured quickly and in large numbers and it was fairly tolerant of poor treatment. This is the full extent of it's merits as a weapon. You can really see it when you start looking at the details; it exudes cheapness and corner cutting, barely a thought has been spared for the person that will have to try and use it in battle vs the people that will be required to assemble it in a factory.
Everything is made as cheaply as possible, ergonomics mean nothing, even the 7.62mm caliber selection was mainly so machine tools used for boring barrels on existing rifles could be reused! The usablity issues with the PPSh are legion: -First off it had no pistol grip. There is a reason that automatic weapons use pistol grips as a rule, it provides a firmer grip and makes the weapon easier to control in automatic fire. -This was then compounded by the choice to provide no type of foregrip, which was then further compounded by using drums which were difficult to grasp unlike a stick magazine. -Said drums were also made as cheap as possible of very thin metal meaning they were easily dented and often produced failures to fed, they also just didn't work well in general when actually full which isn't uncommon with drums in general. -The controls are conveniently and awkwardly within the trigger guard making them hard to operate -The safety is poorly designed, it's entirely possible to pull it free on clothing when the weapon is slung and given it's open bolt design it can then accidentally run away emptying the entire mag. -To speed manufacture by simplifying the action it ejected straight up, meaning when firing the user had a spray of spent casings and ejection gases streaming out directly in front of his face. This alone probably destroyed any possible accuracy in automatic fire and made the weapon much worse then it's rivals in this area. -Not that it matter since the sights provided even if not for the above are agreed to be crap. -Though really neither of those probably mattered much since it's nearly uncontrollable on automatic fire anyway, the rate of fire is too high, the gun is too light, and it has enormous muzzle blast making it a bear to shot with most people disliking it once they've experienced it.
If you want a WWII sub gun get an MP-40 or a Thompson depending on your preferences both are much better engineered and deisnged weapons.
