Probably the PPsh it had a high clip capacity and fairly accurate. Except when not fired in controlled bursts.

"Stalin's organ" looks like it would be hard on the attackers but I would not like to reload the things.

The Russian 76,2 mm AT (?) "Kratsch-boom" named by the Germans, "the whip" by Finns. The name comes from the muzzle velocity . You hear the explosion first and then the firing of the gun...

SVT (or STV [img]redface.gif[/img] ) was always one of mine of the Red armoury. Though not the best stopping power, Germans wernt moveing too fast after takeing a round in the leg, and the best part is you could fallow right up with a finnishing round, thought i could just as well say Gewer43 beeing they where very similar.
