pmaitra,
OT Where in the US can you find a gun club that would allow a non-member to fire a PPsh?
Looking for places in Mississippi and New Jersey.

(My 12 yr old daughter "enjoys" the PPsh-41, in "Call of Duty 2"...lol)

You mean the Soviet WWII carbine with a drum magazine? IDK. Only collectors night have it. I don't even know if they make ammo for those.

I have never seen or heard about it anywhere in the Carolinas (NC, SC).

Sorry, but if I get to know, I'll let you know.

I tried these two today:

Edit: Is this what you are talking about?

Are these gas operated? Most of the SIGs I see around are blow-backs (not something I am a fan of).
kunal seems that u are fan of sigs...Is there a guarantee that in case of a multi caliber rife will it work perfectly for each type of calibers perfectly in the same manner?

There is no guarantee abt any firearm.. :)

Its all depend on people and places where they are under testing..

Thanks for your reply. Yes that is the weapon I was talking about.
I know of a tourist range near Beijing (on the way to the great wall), that allows tourists to fire any small of their choice.
Even Combodia has such ranges run by their army.

The PPsh fires the 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev pistol round. It is still used in China and Pakistan.

The Kriss Vector has too much of flash, but a very high rate of fire.
What is your feed back on it?

So here is my feedback:

  • Since I am inexperienced with full automatics, and moreso, because this was .45 calibre, I decided to follow the 'Rule of 22' where you act as you say 'twenty-two;' i.e., pull the trigger as you say 'twenty' and release it as you say 'two!'
  • This gun jammed 3 times, and I have included one such instance here. Never had such issues with the AK-47, M-16 or PS-90. Is it bad maintenance or just not a good enough design? See time-point (@1:39).
  • I liked using the fast-loader, but loading AK-47 magazine is always a breeze.
  • I am NOT taking this gun to battle.
I agree with you. It has too much flash. The good thing is that it is fairly controllable. At least in full auto, it does not veer to one side, but stays straight.

I myself am a big fan of the HK416 and HK417 but then modularity becomes an issue as the system doesnt have 7.62 x 39 models.

I am not sure but maybe LWRC might be making 5.56 and 7.62 soviet round guns,interchangeable barrels ofcourse.

Heres hoping DRDO's F INSAS rifle finally meets army requirements and is chosen. if not, I think DRDO should give up on small arms and let the private sector try.

I agree with Killswitch... DRDO (IOF) should have given up making small arms a long time back and let the private sector try it...

OFB made a very good Rifle call Insas, But OFB production quality let it down..

In my view, IWI and OFB should work in JV and let Private to manufacture it...

the make really good barrels and there is no question about it... but, the overall package i.e. a weapon system they put out is not up to the mark be it civilian or military
