PPSH-41PPSH-41

The PPSh-41 is one of the most iconic submachine guns of World War II, designed by Georgy Shpagin to give Soviet troops a fast-firing, rugged weapon for brutal close-quarters battles. Chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev and capable of huge rates of fire, it became the backbone of Red Army assault units from Stalingrad to Berlin. Its distinctive drum magazine and high-volume “burp” sound made it instantly recognisable to both friend and foe. Cheap to produce, simple to maintain and incredibly reliable in mud, snow and rubble, the PPSh-41 became a symbol of Soviet frontline fighting power. Shooting the PPSh-41 at Churchill Shooting Budapest is like stepping straight into a WWII movie — a thrilling, historic experience and one of the most unique daytime activities in Budapest for film fans and gamers alike. If you want a weapon that feels fast, gritty and cinematic, this is the one. Seen in movies: – Enemy at the Gates – Stalingrad (1993 & 2013 versions) – Cross of Iron – The Battle of Neretva – Numerous Soviet and Eastern European WWII films Featured in games: – Call of Duty: World at War – Call of Duty: Vanguard – Battlefield V – Red Orchestra 2 – Various WWII tactical shooters and mods Used by militaries & forces: – Soviet Red Army (primary WWII user) – Warsaw Pact and post-Soviet militaries – Chinese and Korean forces during the Korean War – Various guerrilla and militia groups across the 20th century due to mass production Fun Fact: The PPSh-41 could fire so fast that soldiers joked it “emptied its drum before you could finish swearing,” and its roaring burst earned it the nickname “The Burp Gun.” Even today, non-shooters recognise its silhouette from movies and games thanks to that huge drum magazine.
