The PPSh-41 was developed to replace expensive machined PPD-34.
Reliable and cheap,
it filled roughly the same niche as MP40, Sten and M2 carbine, but was
issued in greater numbers. Its drum magazine holds 71 rounds
(Tokarev 7.62x25 aka Mauser .30). Later, 35-round stick magazines became more
common.
