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.
