This video delves into the history and development of the Soviet Union's first submachine gun, the Degtyarev PPD-34/38. It details the design's origins, its initial adoption, and the reasons for its limited production. The video highlights the impact of captured Finnish Suomi SMGs during the Winter War, which prompted the Red Army to re-evaluate and rapidly increase PPD production and development. It also mentions the subsequent adaptation of the Suomi's drum magazine to the PPD-34/38 and the eventual replacement of both by the PPSh-41, which was designed for mass production.

This episode of American Rifleman TV covers three distinct firearms. First, it delves into the history of the iconic Winchester Model 70 "Rifleman's Rifle," tracing its evolution. Following that, a review of the Taurus G3c pistol in 9mm is presented.

This video analyzes the PPSh-41 submachine gun, focusing on its design and development as a simplified, mass-producible firearm for the Soviet Union during WWII. It contrasts the PPSh-41 with its predecessor, the PPD, highlighting Shpagin's design innovations like the use of stampings and simple milled parts to reduce manufacturing complexity and cost. The description also touches on the limitations of the drum magazines, the introduction of box magazines, and the PPSh-41's eventual supplementation by the PPS-43, while acknowledging its widespread adoption and copying by other nations. The video features a PPSh-41 from Marstar.

This video provides a detailed look at the Soviet PPD-40 submachine gun, designed by Degtyarev. It was the first submachine gun widely adopted by the Soviet Union, evolving from an earlier locked breech design to a simpler blowback system. The PPD-40 was initially produced with a 25-round stick magazine and chambered for the 7.62x25mm cartridge. Later iterations, particularly the PPD-40, featured a 71-round drum magazine based on the Finnish Suomi m31. Around 87,000 units were produced before being superseded by the PPSh-41. The video notes the PPD-40's significant weight (12 lbs unloaded) and a rate of fire around 900 RPM. The featured example was captured and used by the Finnish military and may contain a PPD38 bolt.
