  • We take a deep dive into the inner workings of the PPSH-41, and attempt to show just how incredibly simple these iconic World War 2 SMG’s really are. Even for Russian standards.

    About Me
    My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
    I've started to dedicate this UA-cam channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
    Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

      @Winchester Model 70 A polish conscript. Probably given the worst production models and very shitty gear. Also terrible quality and kept ammo probably ammo that was exposed to snow and cold and other damaging elements. The high cyclic rate doesn't mean fire a fucking 14 round burst at a target 55 metres+ you wont hit shit its not supposed to be a carbine or a rifle its supposed use I don't remember but it worked better in urban environments. I'm sure your grandfather wasn't fighting in the heart of poland as a conscript he wouldn't have been trusted by the Soviets and if he was then he really got the short end of the stick because polish were treated terribly so fighting the one of the bloodiest fights in russian history is pretty shit tbh. The mosin was for russian army and specialized units because it because harder to continue mass building further into the war so it basically was a gift from god himself if you got a pre shortage mosin from production without any modifications to the furniture to make it cheap. I mean I guess I'm stupid for finding an old relic very useful for specific needs yeah.

But 150+ lb gun is not something to be carried daily or fired from a shoulder anyway. And it is heavy for a reason, and uses a sort of block mechanism to cock its action because of crazy powerful recoil springs.

He said "the scope on my gun is almost as long as the barrel" but what he meant was "the scope is as long as the gun would be if it didn't have a stock" and I actually explained that because it's not a single-shot weapon, the firing pin/bolt has to move back through the body of the gun and if it wasn't a bolt action sniper, it also would have needed room for a recoil spring and all that. He lives in the UK like I do, he knows I live in the UK, and his only response was "So the scope is LONGER than the barrel?" with as much glee as a 6-year old being told they can have ice-cream for breakfast.
    So thanks, Brandon, for teaching me enough about firearms so I can effectively inform my fellow gamers how truly absurd their 20-inch sniper scope really is.

      Technically a revolver isn't a pistol. I don't think there are any pistols that can take a .500 S&W.

    My grandfather actually got the chance to handle one of these in the early 60s in the Polish army and apparently it also has the name of Pepeska. He was also told about the firerate being 1000rpm and him and a bunch of other soldiers thought there was no way it could actually fire that fast as it would overheat.

    You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on UA-cam! I'd be super interested if you could do a white board video on the PTRD/PTRS-41 and maybe get your hands on one of possible. The PTRD is probably my favorite Russian weapon of all time and there are not nearly enough videos of it in action.
