In 1949, North Korea began production of a domestic copy of the Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun. Designated the M49, it used a blend of Russian and Chinese characteristics, but was mechanically identical to the standard model, distinguishable only by its markings and its slightly oval-shaped stock profile.
Production began in a factory located in Pyongyang, which was briefly captured by Allied forces in late 1950. Upon retaking the city, the Korean government moved production to a safer location farther north, where the guns continued to be made until 1955.

On 7 May 1952 my Dad was hit across the chest with a burst from a M49 PPSh in Korea. Two bullets got through the bulletproof vest at the right shoulder. and another bullet lodged in his left elbow as well as innumerable grenade fragments in the arms, face, and eye. He then spent the next 16 months as a POW and was released on 3 September 1953.

@@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.
@pshalleck Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.

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.

I love my Polish Ppsh41 copy. Its very reliable until you fire it with low over head cover and the brass bounces off the cover and back into the muzzle brake.

Genuine question. Im from Poland and i never heard someone call it "Papasza". It always was "Pepesza" with e (sz is spelled in polish like sh). Even on historical programs in tv or internet. I first heard it on English-speaking part of yt. Was it/Is it really called "Papasza" in Soviet/Modern Russia?

@maximhyland5843 3 жыл бұрын
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.

@@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.

The shroud is longer than the barrel, is this so that the gasses help to reduce recoil and muzzle climb. It looks as though the shroud is partially closed at the muzzle end to enable this.

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).

Ian, I have always been curious about how exactly “war trophy“ guns were legally brought back into the States. If you saw active duty in any branch of service and happened to get possession of a firearm, were you just legally permitted to bring it back home and claim it? Full auto even? I never learned how that worked.

Hello Ian. I just got done watching the PTRD video. Entrested to see this. Also thanks for educating us on lesser known guns and showing things about well known guns that some didn't know (the hook on the spas 12 stock for instance) I play video games and I play Call of duty WW2. And thanks to you I know more about the guns like for instance. The M3 & M3A1 Grease gun. There's a charging lever. So I know it's a normal M3. Thank you Ian.

judging by the 8 and the 9 (6), i'm fairly certain you've read the serial upside down. i think it's 9T877, probably with the 9 signifying the year of production, 1949. i also think the 7s were probably struck using upside down L stamps. and finally, the T could be hangul ㅜ, but i'm pretty sure it's just a roman T.

Damn... This thing killed lot of Civilians and POWs during the Korean War. Lots of them. In Korean people call this gun as '따발총'(For unknown reasons) and it became a symbol for North Korean soldiers killing civilians. One such civilian is my great-grandfather, who was shot by KPA soldiers(Along with his ALL the other family members. One exception was my grandfather), because he gave food and water to retreating ROKA soldiers. Horrors and Pains regarding North Korean PPShs, I can't describe them all.

I think you were reading the serial number upside down. If we take the smaller loop of an 8 to be the top, what you thought were L's are either 1's or 7's and the number is either 91811 0r 97877 (or maybe 91877).
