allweaponsww2 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! It is known that during the WWII began the process of simplification of the SMG. The choice of a new weapon was in the direction of compactness, simplicity and cheapness. The SMG could not solve all the problems on the battlefield, leaving the work with Auto Rifles, Machine Guns and a new class - Assault Rifles. The role of SMG was reduced to melee weapons, later this class will be called - Personal Defense Weapon (PDW). Few people know, but in the USSR already during WWII, options for such weapons were considered! It has never been adopted, but in my opinion, is worth mentioning. If someone adds or fixes, I will be glad. 1) SMG Shpital'nogo 1942 Пистолет-Пулемет Шпитального обр. 1942 г. 2) SMG Rukovishnikova 1942 (PPR) Пистолет-Пулемет Руковишникова обр. 1942 г. 3) Pocket SMG Yazikova (KPPYa) Карманный Пистолет-Пулемет Язикова обр. 1943 г. 4) SMG "hidden wear" Sergeeva 1943 Пистолет-Пулемет "скрытого ношения" Сергеева обр. 1943 5) SMG Pushkina 1945 Пистолет-Пулемет Пушкина обр. 1945 г.
