And why on earth would the Russians want to take the time to convert a Tommygun to their own PP calibre when they've got the PPSh-41, which was, in all respect, infinitely superior to the far heavier, more expensive, less accurate and less dependable Tommygun? That just makes no sense at all.
Also, try and not get your information (only one out of three soldiers in Russia was armed) out of movies like Enemy at the Gates (or whatever it was called) as this is the only reference I've EVER heard use this. It is complete bull. Russia had an advanced army, especially towards the end of the war, and they would never ever send 66,7% of their troops into battle unarmed. Please do a bit of research before you blatantly quote Hollywood movies as fact.
Russian material was deemed as probably on par with German material, surpassing it here and there as well. The United States was a clear underdog as far as quality went in World War Two. The Russians had amazing aircraft and tank designs and brilliant firearms.
