What Maus means to say is
"It's possible that they're firing a SUOMI M-31 SMG"
A finnish submachinegun developed in the 20's, was far more accurate than the ppsh and fired a 9mm round as opposed to the Russian 7.62
In regard to recoil it doesn't matter FWIW.
9x19 Para has roughly the same recoil as the 7.62x25.
They are both pistol cartriges after all.
I own two Tokarev pistols in both 7.62mm and 9x19mm and neither one of them feels any different in percieved recoil.
I find it amusing that the folks what say the recoil on the PPSH is correct, have never fired a real gun in their lives. Those of us that own guns tend to side in the "it's way overdone" camp. That should tell you something.
Do yourselves a favor. Go to a local range somewhere and rent a glock or something. That should help you understand. Better yet, find somebody that owns a Hi-Point 9mm carbine and shoot that for comparison.
People that are recoil shy are so because they have never fired a gun in their lives and have not been trained in holding it properly. And that applies to ALL guns, not just SMGs. I can make any gun "look" like it has a lot of recoil by simply "limp wristing it". And that is a common mistake new shooters make.
Mind you that a soldier knows how to hold it because of his training.
His diet has nothing to do with it.
Some of you ppl make me laugh.
