The PPSh-41 is a Russian submachine gun designed by Georgy Shpagin. A common Russian nickname for the weapon is "papasha", meaning "daddy", and it was sometimes called the "burp gun" because of its high fire-rate.

The PPSh saw extensive combat use during WW2 and the Korean War in Eastern Bloc countries. It became one of the major infantry weapons of the Soviet Forces during World War II, with about six million PPSh-41s manufactured in this period, making it the most-produced submachine gun of the war. In the form of the Chinese Type 50 (licensed copy), it continued in use with the Viet Cong as late as 1970, and remains in use with irregular militaries.
