Everyone that watches this channel can relate

you are as old as you feel...

Toys, navel?

I envy you.

That means americans have cat stalking them all the time I presume.

Ian used to be one of them i think, didn´t he also insist on pronouncing the "h" in DShK like in PPSh?

Well to be fair the way the name is rendered in English makes no sense. There is no such thing as a “Sh” character in English so it should have just been translated to “PPS41”.

Even when you dont have a cat?

@@simplymadness8849 But then you confuse it with the letter “es” as in Sudayev. Also the SH digraph is the English equivalent of the Cyrillic letter Sha. And it could be worse, they could have used “W” because it looks most like a Sha similar to how we ended up with CCCP rather than SSSR for the Soviet Union.

They couldn't afford a barrel so they just added a cylindrical piece of metal to mimic a barrel for intimidation purposes

Heresy! Such a crime against the state must be punished! The Supreme Leader could never make a gun that would dare run out of ammo!

That asshole "rodman" wouldn't know what to do with it.

Wow, that's actually a quite interesting comment.

My grandfather said something similar in that when they'd be attacked it was the artillery and machine guns that were the problem, the NK soldiers were not very skilled on attack. However when it came time for the 'Allied' (his words, his unit was partnered with a South Korean Army unit) to attack the North Korean troops were much tougher because they were fighting for their lives. I'm sure that all changed when China took over the fighting.

even a "bad" soldier with 900 rpmx30 men is scary to any one... cuz even with poor aim that it a ton of lead heading your way....

@@fortusvictus8297 The first Chinese divisions to enter Korea were also crack troops, containing many battle hardened men that fought the Kuomintang from 1945-49. Some of the officers had been serving nonstop since 1936. These troops were well trained in infiltration and shock tactics that gave the UN forces a good licking in the winter of 1950. Unfortunately, most of these troops were wasted in abortive offensives into South Korea, so by 1951 most Chinese troops were raw conscripts.

@@Hellston20a you mean fortunately , right?

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine But also the weight and bulk!

@@kw9849 because it's made for men

But the gun is like 1.5x longer and heavier than a ppsh

@@Gameprojordan which is why it's more accurate and has less recoil

@@Gameprojordan The Suomi is like 1.5" longer than a PPSH, it's negligible

If you ever have opportunity to visit South Korea, visit The Korean War Memorial museum in Seoul! Great, great exhibits & displays on forces who fought in the Korean War. Uniforms, weapons, clothing, etc. I think you will appreciate it and a tribute to your dad's service & sacrifice. english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/ATR/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=268131

Sorry. Our Glorious Eternal and Beloved Leader, in his exquisite wisdom, made this Divine intervention.

@@justforever96 I'm not sure about the law in the US, but in Canada and the EU it's only supposed to be irreversible in the eyes of the government. Legally if one wants to deactivate a gun, they should cause as little damage to it as they can so that they could eventually reactivate it. I'm sure most firearm deactivation laws don't specify what metal to use, so it's best to just do it with tin or lead.

@@TARKHPERUNOVICH US law is destruction, specifically cutting the receiver into at least three parts using a torch that removes at least a quarter-inch of material with each cut, and they specify certain features such as fire control that one of the cuts must pass through. This is because in the US the receiver is the only regulated component. Whereas basically everywhere else in the world instead regulates the pressure-bearing components like the barrel and/or bolt. If the barrel was plugged it probably passed through Canada at some point, and their deactivation laws specify using a hardened steel core welded into the chamber with the weld being of similar hardness as the other metal in the firearm.

@@petermgruhn I'm also thinking about reading it in an upside down direction.If it is correct to see it upside down, the serial number will be 'ㄱㄱ8ㅜ9(KK8U9 or GG8U9)'. P.S. I can not write English very well. So the sentence might be a little weird because I used a translator.

ㄴ

it honestly looks like a (communist) hammer to me

n sound

I looked like the number was upside down and it was 91877

That really depends which way you read that serial number. To me the ㄴ ("nieun")is inverted, meaning it should read ㄱ ("giyeok"). One main reasons why is the "8" looks inverted if read starting with "ㄴㄴ..."So, it should read "9?8ㄱㄱ".

LOL! ^_^

Well luckily it's sold as transferrable so you can actually just get a replacement barrel and have a gunsmith take a crack at it

@@BlazingCyclone1337 correct, but a pure gun is always better than a molested one. I hope this practice is not performed anymore. still, it's better than taking a gun apart and melting it T_T

@@eclipse.Alkosoof that's fair and I'm also glad it was saved

Guys, remember some places in the world, a molested one is better than one melted or cut into scrap.

@@DickSwordOnDiscord agreed

I was thinking the exact same thing. You beat me to it

Samme her! Kjøpte min på Finn for 4-5 år siden. Min er plombert på samme måte.

That explains why they were able to put these into production so quickly.

Correct. North Korea only began using Kim Il-sung's birth as year one in 1997, three years after his death.

I wondered the same thing, I didn't know when they started using the new calendar

It looks beautiful to me lol

Going to 9mm would be the best option, then again, it would just be a suomi.

@@1LouSassel honestly, in the recent few year wake of extreme 9mm popularity? I would think .40 is the best option, simply for availability.

Could be but korens don't usually use ㄴ on it's own so itd be more 느, maybe they copied off of someone else?

The orientaion of the 8 quite clearly shows that you and Ian are reading the serial number upside down. I think it is: 9u8gg

Could be ㄴ. But a bit strange looking. Strange to be an L too. Also, "1" in "816" looks strange. I am Korean but I cannot make it out. Could be 1 but doesn't really look like anything I have seen.

Could that be 9T877?

Well for a first production year 91877 seems to be a bit optimistic. But who knows, maybe it's following along another production line

MP 717(r)? I’ve actually got one.

Yes please.

Funny how the Soviets wanted a submachine gun with a low rate of fire like the MP40 and the Germans wanted one with a high rate of fire like the PPSh. It's like everything seems more effective when they are shooting at you with it.

Didn't they just shoot 7.65 Mauser out of the captured PPSH?

The iconic symbol of the communist revolution in North Korea is now auctioned off in the US - ironic

@@Betterhose Not really. Capitalism has no ideological agenda, no good or evil, only supply and demand. If it was North Korea selling off its supplies to improve the economy, that would have been ironic. Wait a minute, it actually did happen. Only with USSR, not DPRK.

@@vaclav_fejt Don't take things so serious. I think it's funny.

@@Betterhose Good for you. :) I am a bit of an overthinker.

@@vaclav_fejt No, don't you worry the DPRK has done it on numerous occasions. Turns out running pachinko parlors wont exactly keep the national treasury afloat, so on multiple occasions the DPRK has sold off captured UN equipment and much of its own outdated or broken equipment to states even worse off than the DPRK is now.

let’s hope he doesn’t get clapped for being a western spy

@@deniskozlowski9370 What a deal! I’ll try and snag a Shenyang J-6 and maybe a T-54 with a Hooters calendar and some Nathan’s hot dogs coupled with powdered eggs and some home fries.

In my opinion, the serial number should be read upside down : 91877.

Well, it's more an acknowledgement that someone could restore it. It was probably registered back in the day and never noted as "destroyed", so it's legal to restore it.

All it takes is a simple barrel replacement

@@B.D.B. I've done several they are pretty simple to re activate

@@B.D.B. Czechia too but I believe there are special restrictions on them, like they're for collectors purposes only but don't have to be deactivated but you can't shoot them weird as that all sounds

Thought the same thing 👍

I though the same, except the date and the serial number would have opposite orientation.

Extending the barrel would increase the muzzle velocity, but not by much, and it would add a bit of weight. Perhaps they felt that it was an optimum length for 7.62 Tokarev. I'm not an expert but I don't think barrel length affects the rate of fire of an open-bolt SMG.

@@AshleyPomeroy it's a simple blowback, you're extending the time bullet needs to leave the barrel and thus also the time that gasses push onto the bolt, making it move faster.

@keith moore turn this into a closed bolt and let's see how well it runs.

@keith moore they were built to a price point what do you expect? They did resolved the cracked frame issues.

@keith moore that is more thanks to hollywood wood than marketing. High point on the other hand.... You should read up on some of the crap thier sole distributor got up to.

Same!

Why would they use any roman letters?

I do read Korean. I agree that the serial number is 91877. Koreans do not abbreviate with initials. They abbreviate with syllables. For example, the abbreviation for Kyungbook National University, Kyeongbuk Dae Haggyo (경북대학교 ) is Kyeongdae (경대).

🤨😯🤣

One neat hole from all 71 rounds.

Guided by the Glorious Leader's Godly powers no doubt. Truly, Best Korea reigns supreme. 10 Trillion americans alone have been felled by the Great Leader's own hands!

It have to be in a obscurely small useless caliber or some obscurely large impractical caliber to be true Elbonian

Or if it is not letter T, it could be something similar with russian letter, if they import machine from them and went to production right away.

Eary 20th century was such a chaos in our history, so anything could be happen...

@@SonOfTheDawn515 century arms be like

They have AK’s with cool Helical mags

@@12LoLproductions those are probably non functional show pieces

Still a good reliable gun. We found loads of various models in Kosovo in 99, yugoslavian war reserve stocks. I watched thousands of them being destroyed, but I got to fire a few of them, along with MP40s, Stens, Thompsons, literally all sorts. All destroyed, heartbreaking but physically no way of securing them all. Ironically the UN paid a small bounty for all guns handed in, so the locals handed these old guns in and kept AK47s.

I’m sure they work, if it works with Bizon’s it should in theory work with AK’s

😄😄😄😄👍

Just like Russia, the country has no economy and everything goes to the military, so they have somewhat decent stuff, whilst their population is living in poverty.

I'm pretty sure Russians call it Pepesza, too

Correct.

Yes, as a Russian I can state that it was pronounced "Papasha" in Russia (though you could also pronounce it as PPSh). The "П" can be pronounced as Pa. In fact the weapon had apparently gotten the endearing name "Папаша" (Papasha but with emphasis on the second pa sound) which is an endearing form of the word father.

In hungarian we just call it a PPSh

@@maximhyland5843 Yeah. That's the difference between Russian and Polish. While П can be read as "Pa", P in Polish is read as "Pe". Both of those are reading aloud the acronym. PPSh in Russian ( ППШ) and PPSz in Polish. Both are correct in respective languages.

It's north korea dude.

"Barely trained slave in a communist sweatshop" generally aren't characteristics of a professional and skilled gunsmith :)

Yes. The flip from 1 to 200 yards doesn't seem to be different at all.

I just did the math on that... 16 rounds per second. That's 2 seconds for one mag. 4 seconds for the drum. Lol 🤦‍♂️

Just like the proof mark...coincidence?

are you sure it’s Polish? because from what I know they only have made PPS copies but not PPSh.

@@randomperson-fr8ig yes I am sure. In Polish service the correct designation is PM wz.41.
