Shpagin PPSh 41 Burp Gun (473 words) |
 | North Korea began its invasion of South Korea armed largely with Soviet weapons such as the Model PPSh41, and a variety of Japanese weapons captured by the Soviets. |
| Designed by George Shpagin to meet desperate need, following the USSR's bitter war with Finland and the invasion by Germany, the PPSh submachine gun utilized the simple blowback action, and fires from the open bolt position. |
| At that time they also began extensive manufacture of their own models of Soviet weapons, such as the Chinese burp gun, using the box magazine for reasons much the same as the USSR. |
