  3. Gun looks like a PPSh-41. Russian design shooting 7.62x25 Tokarev. I want one!

    1. What I found was the soldier named Raja-Jovnna holding a Suomi KP/31 submachine gun and a raindeer, date 1944.

    2. Suomi KP/31. The Russians designed the PPSh-41 after encountering Finns armed with the Suomi KP/31 during the Winter War.
