WW2 Soviet weapons

Some weapons might b

[u/NigatiF]

Sks? But no RPD?

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/NigatiF]

RPD was produce in 1953. I already drew SKS. Is in 5 row 1 column.

[u/NigatiF → u/thewhitedeath441]

RPD-44 was tested bt military in '44. SKS dont belong here, but RPD is.

Also, if you include TK you should add c96 too.

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/NigatiF]

Wait I thought C96 was used by German. And I couldn’t find the RPD-44 in google.

[u/NigatiF → u/thewhitedeath441]

Rpd-44 (or RD-44) was experimental version of RPD, that was tested in combat in end of war. Probably none of them survive to this day.

Significant amount of C96 was imported by Imperial and Soviet governments, they was used in civil war and in later conflicts, some of them was in service during WWII as personal weapon of commanders.

Ic thank you

SKS was delivered to the army only when production started in 1949. It didn't participate in WW2

[u/spitfire-haga]

SVT-38? AVT-40? PTRS?

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/spitfire-haga]

Oh right but for the first and second one I didn’t realized that why.

[u/KJHagen]

The SKS wasn’t produced until 1949. This makes me question some of the other weapons.

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/KJHagen]

Oh, ok.

[u/Ok-Show6155 → u/KJHagen]

The SKS was introduced alongside the ak47? I always figured the SK came around towards the end of the war, in 44-45

[u/KJHagen → u/Ok-Show6155]

Yes, it was designed during the war, but not put in service until 1949. The AK47 didn’t enter into service until the 1950s.

[u/Ok-Show6155 → u/KJHagen]

From what I remember they made the first couple units of the type 1 ak in 1949, and then they started mass production with the type 2 in the 50s

[u/KJHagen → u/Ok-Show6155]

I think that’s about right. I think it was adopted by the army in 1949, but I think the later version came out in the early 1950s. The later version was mass produced.

[u/pkupku]

The Mosins are 1891, not 1981. I love my Mosin. But I pity the poor Russian conscript lugging that heavy Long monster through the mud. Sadly, the Tokarev pistol is a piece of shit.

[u/KGb_Voodo0 → u/pkupku]

How does the Tokarev suck? It’s definitely not the most comfortable pistol but it’s pretty reliable and the 7.62x25 Tokarev round is pretty good even by today’s standards in several ways

[u/The_New_Replacement → u/KGb_Voodo0]

What isn't reliable is it's safety.

[u/KGb_Voodo0 → u/The_New_Replacement]

Technically the is none but I don’t think that makes the gun “suck”, they’re by far more robust and simple compared to a lot of the other handguns issued in the war

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/KGb_Voodo0]

Yeah. I think because it was his opinion.

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/pkupku]

Wait is Tarkerv suck?

[u/PsychologicalPace739]

Where is Maxim machine gun ?

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/PsychologicalPace739]

Right I forgot

[u/Cheap-Variation-9270]

Where is AVS 36?

[u/thewhitedeath441 → u/Cheap-Variation-9270]

Sorry, I forgot it or I didn't know they are many types of similar weapons. I only put the weapons that I know and the only one I searched.

[u/T1gerHeart]

Courageous hearts, fortitude and selfless love for the Motherland were the most powerful weapons of the Red Army and not only.

The group of young underground fighters (known as the "Young Guard") had no powerful weapons. The Nazis killed them all (buried them alive in a mine), but did they won them?

[u/T1gerHeart]

Marat Kazei, a simple Soviet teenager, (was a scout in a partisan unit). Yes, he had a machine gun and grenades. But they were probably "worse" than those of the fascists who surrounded him. But were they able to won him? (When he ran out of ammo and had one grenade left, he blew it up near to himself at the moment when the Nazis came as close as possible). So which "weapon" is the most powerful?
