PPSH in a modern body kit seen in Iraq

Developed by Soviet designer Georgy Shpagin on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, the PPSH-41 submachine gun is still used in conflicts in the Middle East. Fortunately, the reliable design of the weapon allows you to upgrade and adapt it to modern combat conditions.

Pictures of a tuned PPSH from Iraq appeared on social networks.

"With weapons, sometimes no less fun things happen there. Sometimes it has no role when the barrel is released. Pumping there is such that airsoft players already have tears from impotence flowing like a river," blogger Yuri Pasholok wrote in LiveJournal, commenting on the photo.

The picture shows that the PPSH received a sliding stock, a new pistol grip and a handle in front of the drum magazine.

In addition, a Picatinny rail was installed on the submachine gun and an optical sight was installed, as well as several tactical lights. To improve the accuracy of combat, the submachine gun received folding bipods.

Many Internet users and experts in small arms wondered why it was necessary to carry out such tuning, because the effective range of using PPSH with 7.62 × 25 mm cartridges when firing a burst is up to 200 meters.
