Weapon Variants of Iconic Weaponry

This post is my response to this post:

I enjoy collecting variants of iconic ww2 weapons, especially Thompsons, MP40s, Stens, STGs, and PPshs. Below is a list of weapon variants for these weapons I would like to see.

Yes, I included the weird curved barrel guns. Are they at all practical? No. Would they be fun to try to use? Yes.

PPSH variants:

PPSh-Detachable-stock
Detachable Stock PPSH
PPSh-Folding-Stock-2
PPSH-45 (not sure if it was made before war ended)

PPSh-2-3
PPsh-2 with folding stock
PPSh-with-IR-Scope
Scoped PPSH (night vision)
PPSh-Curved-Barrel
PPsh Curved

Is that an actual ww 2 night vision setup? I thought those setups were alot bigger. Looks a bit more modern?

My source says its from 1943. Can’t truly confirm it though.

“it is equipped with a night vision scope. Probably the image lacks the IR spotlight and the batteries – something descriptive for the first night vision designs of the late war era. Some sources say that the model designation of the scope was Ts-3”

This looks as fake as it can get, if you are familiar with PPSh rate of fire and recoil.

Looks weird, I want it!

Update: nvm its most likely post war.

I have researched about this particular weapon in the past and sadly it is a post war Swiss prototype.

But there are more StG variants:

Ehhh, other variants don’t have Mp40 folding stock. I don’t care for another reskin.
Shame that its a Swiss gun, actual German StG would have StG magazine.

This one is most likely fake you can understand by 2 things it doesn’t use STG 44 mag which mean it uses an other mag and making a new mag in 1945 Germany is kinda not possible and second thing it doesn’t have stock while there are STG variants without stock all were made after war since it would require major redesign of gun since recoil spring goes through stock that means this gun is entirely different gun structure wise to STG and I don’t think 1945 Germany even thought about redesigning STG to be SMG and then setting production lines simply put producing STG was more cheaper than making a new gun

Maybe if it was limited somehow, as event/premium/gold.

Here is the same system on a mosin. There is an infrared projector needed to make the scope work, just like the other night vision systems of the era. Still, as an obscure soviet project I can’t confirm if it 100% exists.

Other attempts night vision systems for soviet tankers for use in the bt-7 and t-34-85.

I’m no Ian McCollum but it sure looks like
a) the spare casings would be hitting this huge sight when flying up

b) the bolt going back and forth at 900 RPM just undernead that top cover would make any attempts at aiming with optics installed without any picattini rails simply futile

I don’t know what your shooting experience is, I’ve only recently started shooting with SVD, AR-15 and Mosin Nagant Sniper and this just looks ridiculous and unpractical.

The source I’ve found is a 1998 Russian magazine and in 1998 you could find anything in Russian magazines, it was basically mad max fury road out here.
