Georgy Shpagin’s birthday

1

On April 29, 1897, Georgy Semyonovich Shpagin was born, a famous Soviet weapons designer.

Throughout his career, he worked alongside many famous Soviet weapons designers such as Kalashnikov, Degtyaryov, Fyodorov and Tokarev. He also worked on some weapons with them. For example, the DShK heavy machine gun, which remains in service to this day.

But Shpagin’s real fame came with the submachine gun of his design - the iconic PPSh, the most mass-produced submachine gun of the Red Army. By the end of the war, more than 6 million had been produced! Its reliability, simplicity and extensive use made the PPSh one of the symbols of the USSR in World War II.

From April 24th (13:00 UTC) to April 30th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

For completing 6 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive one collectible melee weapon for any army of your choice, and for 8 completed tasks, a portrait.

TASKS

Stage 1:

  • Kill 40 enemies using a submachine gun.
  • Kill 60 enemies.
  • Complete 4 battles.

Stage 2:

  • Kill 60 enemies using a submachine gun.
  • Kill 6 enemies using a melee weapon.
  • Complete 6 battles.

Stage 3:

  • Kill 60 enemies using a submachine gun.

TERMS

  • The tasks can be completed in the Squads mode.
  • The list of tasks is updated every two days at 13:00 UTC.
  • Tasks can be completed simultaneously.
  • Uncollected rewards will disappear when the tasks change.
  • From April 30th to May 2nd (13:00 UTC), after the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to purchase any missing rewards.

Is the prize a saber, rather than getting a gun made by Shpagin?

Maybe next time you will give some of PPSh? Even common one but full upgraded…
(Or drum PPSh with old characteristics like 2.8 secs reload and better accuracy)

Would be the perfect opertunity to hand out special PPSH like the one that fits MP40 mags.

But sabers do too I guess

Well, this event may be something you can relax and play because there is no incentive to participate.
We will enjoy customization orders and silver.

This art is not AI art.
This Spagin just wonders why the anniversary prize for the best firearms designer is a “sword”.

Camouflage technology of lizardman race wasn’t that advanced at the time. So as you can see, there were some glitches.

Zuckerberg eventually perfected it.

I hope no more recycling of already existing decals for GO skins as well.

For example GO IS-1 is shameless insult to the players.
