PPS-43

From the Call of Duty Wiki

A PPS-43 submachine gun seen in Call of Duty 2

The PPS-43 was a Russian submachine gun which was used during World War II and still to modern days.

[edit] History

The PPS-43 was created by Aleksei Sudaev shortly after the production of the PPSh-41 as a much cheaper weapon. The PPS-43 was first used during the Siege of Leningrad.

The PPS-43 was initially produced as the PPS-42, but soon after was improved and redesignated the PPS-43. The use of a folding stock allowed the weapon length to be reduced from 820 mm to 615 mm. This compactness made it ideal for tank crews, paratroopers, and reconnaissance units.

Germans who captured PPS-43 called it as the MP719. Unlike with PPSh-41, captured examples were not converted to fire 9mm Parabellum rounds. However, a slightly modified copy of PPS-43 was produced in Finland under designation m/44 and it used the 9mm Luger/Parabellum cartridge; 10 000 examples were produced.

In Call of Duty 2, the PPS-43 is a submachine gun that accepts 35-round magazines. While it doesn't have the magazine capacity that the PPSh has, it makes up for it with very controllable recoil. In fact, its recoil is almost exactly the same as the PPSh in Call of Duty. This means that the PPS-43 is very controllable and can be used at short or medium range with ease. Its lower rate of fire makes it easier to control as well, but this might be a disadvantage in close quarters.

[edit] Trivia

  • The PPS-43 was originally slated to be in Call of Duty: World at War, but was dropped before the game was shipped. Its likely that it was replaced by the PPSh-41. Unlike the other cut weapons, it lacks a HUD icon, which means that it was dropped before the British weapons were.
