No, but proper placement will put someone down so fast it'll look like it.
Actually, it'll hit hard enough to knock someone (very) off balance, which should be enough to put them on the ground.
I can tell you they can knock a four-legged animal that weighs about 300 lbs down. Not toss it across a room or anything, but it definitely went down hard, and never regained its feet. And that was a 20 gauge.
Yes, a rifle bullet will certainly knock a deer down if it hits in a good spot.
Not an instant kill either because sometimes they get up and run a liitle before dying.

I was talking about a shotgun, actually.
You could always shoot the deer the way my dad does to make sure he doesn't have to track them: headshots.

Deer are such pretty animals.
Anyways I would go with the ppsh because of the bigger mag, usibilty, and reliability.

I'm pretty sure I remember the PPSh drum mag having reliability issues. The stick mag wouldn't give you a huge advantage in firepower, since the higher rate of fire would burn it up just as fast as the slower-firing guns with smalller mags.
They taste pretty good, too. A bit on the lean side, though.

You can't "always" get a head shot on a deer, that's ridiculous. Spoken like someone who's never been hunting.
A deer's head is small (at least the brain is) and they move their heads around a lot. At any range most hunters will aim for the chest/foreshoulder because the head is a low percentage shot. It's a way bigger target that almost guarantees a vital organ hit. If you have a decent size rifle a hit to the foreshoulder means you won't have to track it.
I suppose a descent sized rifle might be an 8mm mauser? kind of a stupid question

? It has a 100yd effective range but the ppsh had a 200m you got them opposite. It's just that in game the ppsh can't hit outside 30 feet
Well, you don't "always" have to take a shot. Go for a sure thing, and you'll always get the shot you want. I know I would pass on "maybe" shots and only take what I felt were "always" shots. Maybe I could have made some or all of those "maybes," but I felt better not risking it.
Spoken as a man who HAS hunted (and will again, dammit).
My father has taken many white tail deer with headshots. Then again, he's not trying to reach 300 or 400 yards. He's staying under 200 (usually around 100) with a scoped rifle.
Oh, and I've seen deer run off and not leave a decent blood trail (for a little while anyway) after being hit with stuff like 7mm mag.
And how the hell did we get this far off topic?
I watched a chick hunt hippos on TV once. She got a headshot because that's all that was sticking up out of the water. It was hot.
The chick with the big gun, that is. Not the hippo. I'm sure it was a lovely hippo and all, if you know, you were a hippo, but I'm not and that's totally not my thing.
(topic = lost) woot!

Wait, she was hunting hippies? There's a season for that?
And what was a hippie doing near water?

Has anyone seen Mail Call episode where R Lee pwned some water mellons with a PPSh? It came on yesterday I think, and the PPSh looked mighty deadly, I would even say more deadly than the other guns he shot at the watermellon (bar the trebuchet and the .50 cal).
Its not a video, it was on TV. You are welcomed to try and search google video and youtube for it, though.
Yeah, it officially starts on Dead Milkmen day. The only requirement for the license is you must play 'The Thing That Only Eats Hippies' loudly, in a crowded parking lot. Can't wait for this year! There's this surfer that just moved in down the street, I'll bet he'll make an excellent chase.
