第一次世界大战的经验表明,近距离战斗中,密集火力比精确射击更重要。于是,各国武器专家开始研制兼具步枪与机枪性能的枪械。为了满足作战需要,苏联轻武器设计师什帕金于1940年推出波波沙冲锋枪(PPSh-41),该枪采用7.62毫米口径,于1941年正式配发苏军。因采用弹鼓供弹,该枪也被称为“转盘枪”。PPSh-41大部分零部件都是用钢板冲压、焊接、铆接而成,可以在民间企业生产。它配有35发容量的弧形弹夹和71发容量的圆形弹鼓, The experience of World War I shows that intensive firepower is more important than close fire in close combat. As a result, all kinds of weapons experts began to develop rifles and machine guns with gun performance. In order to meet operational needs, the Soviet light weapons designer Shpakin launched the Pobasha Submachine Pistols (PPSh-41) in 1940 with 7.62 mm caliber and was officially assigned to the Soviet Army in 1941. The gun is also known as a “turntable gun” due to its use of a bomb for feeding. PPSh-41 most of the parts are made of steel stamping, welding, riveting, can be produced in private enterprises. It is equipped with 35 rounds of capacity curved magazine and rounds of 71 rounds of capacity drums,
