| rdfs:comment | - The PPD (Pistolet-Pulemyot Degtyaryova, Russian: Пистолет-пулемёт Дегтярёва) is a submachine gun originally designed in 1934 by Vasily Degtyaryov. It was a near direct copy of the German Bergmann MP28, and utilized a large ammunition drum, a copy of the Finnish M31 Suomi drum magazine, as well as a more conventional box-type magazine. It first went into military service in 1935 as the PPD-34. In 1938 and 1940, modifications were designated PPD-34/38 and PPD-40 respectively, and introduced minor changes. Nevertheless, the PPD-40 was too complicated and expensive to mass-produce, and although it was used in action in the initial stages of World War II, it was, by the end of 1941, quickly phased out and replaced by the superior and cheaper PPSh-41.
- The PPD-34 was the Russian answer to the German MP-40. It was still the most common Soviet sub-machine gun seen in combat. Many of these weapons were captured by the Germans who used them in combat. In spite of their 7.62mm cartridges and the big magazines that made it heavy to cart around, it still provided extra fire-power which was greatly needed against the Russians.
- The PPD-40 was a Russian submachine gun that was in service with the Red Army during World War II. It was chambered for 7.62mm Tokarev ammunition and was compatible with 71-round drum magazines. The PPD-40 is said to have been the predecessor of the PPSh-41 submachine gun that saw widespread service in the Eastern Front and the invasion of Germany.

| abstract | - The PPD-40 was a Russian submachine gun that was in service with the Red Army during World War II. It was chambered for 7.62mm Tokarev ammunition and was compatible with 71-round drum magazines. The PPD-40 is said to have been the predecessor of the PPSh-41 submachine gun that saw widespread service in the Eastern Front and the invasion of Germany. The total length of the PPD-40 was around 788 milimeters with a total weight of 3.2 kilograms. The rate of fire was 900 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 488 meters per second and an effective range of 200 meters. The high magazine capacity and rate of fire allowed standard Soviet infantry the power to suppress his enemies. Furthermore, Soviet weapons were rugged, reliable, and capable of mass production, making the PPD a favorite among troops.
