Mp-41(r) is a PPSh-41 rechambered for 9mm. This conversion was made in semi-large quantities and was used by the axis forces on all fronts
History
Throughout the conflict PPSh-41 was seen by german soldiers as a superior weapon to their own Mp-40 and this was such a popular myth that PPSh became the 2nd most used SMG by the german army in ww2 despite being a captured enemy weapon. Even the german high command had plans to copy, rechamber and produce their own ppsh. One of these plans became the Mp-41(r), this gun is basically a captured and rechambered PPSh. They made a lot of these (I don’t know the exact number) and they were used in combat so it’s not a prototype weapon.
How it will work in Enlisted
Mp-41(r) is not just a ‘‘german PPSh’’ like in Stalingrad, it’s chambered for 9mm which in-game is slower but deals more damage than russian 7.62
It will hold less ammo than both ppsh(box) and ppsh(drum) but will have higher dpm
Why do I want this thing
Mp-41(r) is a fast firing smg which germans already lack. It will also make fans of soviet guns like me enjoy playing axis more.
And it’s also an original weapon, not just a copy PPSh like Mp-717(r) in Stalingrad is
