.380 firing at 600 rpm from a 24 round mag sounds like a br1 smg

And 96 rounds sounds like a BR V weapon, just like the Soviet PP ship.

And? The counterpart to this sounds like the PP Shpitalny. Which is BR V.
PPD-40 tho have 800-900RPM rate of fire this has 600RPM so its BR IV, not V

And an identical gun is a gold order gun for the Soviets, this belongs in BR 5.
you mean the one with 800 rounds per minute rate of fire instead of 600 on KP vz. 38?

Yep. Very high capacity SMGs shouldn’t be lower than 5. You’re trading rate of fire for magazine capacity.
beside the point but there was also a box magazine with 36 round made for this gun.(It had 24 , 36 box magazine and a drum with 96 round)(Also multiple sources mention 500 ROF which makes me believe that gun fired between 500 and 600 RPM)

Thank you for your post.
I would welcome this to Enlisted.
I also agree the Czechoslovaks had one of the best armies on the Continent in the interwar period, including an excellent air force.
Not bad for a country that only gained its independence in 1919.
I have read a number of academic papers arguing that Czechoslovakia couldve beaten N@zi Germany in 1938, especially with assistance from France and/or Britain.
They had equal to or better than German weapons, great morale, great defensive line, good relations with other countries including the Soviet Union.
The Germans were running out of money and desperately needed Czechoslovak resources.
One paper even looked into the weather in 1938, finding that due to rain the Luftwaffe airfields wouldve been drenched and therefore unable to support attacks on Czechoslovak defences.
But sadly the English and French governments forced the Czechoslovaks to give up the part of their country that was actually defensible, thereby providing Germany with the resources it needed to attack the rest of the country and then Poland.
Chamberlain even conspired with the Fascist Italians to get rid of one of the members of his Cabinet who was being a nuisance.
Pro-German French generals lied to the politicians about the size of the German Army to the point of ridiculousness like one day Germany has 30,000 men the next day apparently they have 300,000 soldiers. (those figures are just an idea I dont recall the exact numbers cited)
Id would be nice to get some Free Czech squads or soldiers in the Allied tech tree.
Just use standard British battledress and put CZECH on the side and give them a Czech name.
Do we have any Slovakian squads in Axis tree? I know there was a Vichy French premium squad years ago.

And I want Thompson 100 in the American TT.
500 was the intended but it did 600
