Publisher's Synopsis
PPSh shorts for Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina. It was a Russian weapon extensively used during World War II and the Korean War. It was a submachine gun, designed primarily as an alternative to the PPD-40. The gun is magazine-fed with selective fire capability, characterized by an open-bolt blowback action. In fact it was quite common for the gun to be loaded with box or drum magazine. This training book has been developed from the ground up for beginners who know little about Airsoft AEG technology. As part of our Airsoft Technology Self-Paced Training Series, this book gives an introduction to the PPSh-41 AEG architecture. The primary goal of this book is to explain the various AEG technical concepts in very simple language. We believe that this book and its support materials have everything you need for an informative, interesting, challenging and entertaining Airsoft educational experience.
