The PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina; ; "Shpagin machine pistol") is a Soviet submachine gun.
It was designed by Georgi Shpagin.
The PPSh-41 was supposed to be a cheaper, simpler gun to use than the PPD-40.
The PPD-40 was in Soviet service at that time.
The PPSh-41 officially replaced the PPD-40 in 1941.
The PPSh-41 was supposed to be used by conscripted soldiers with very little training.
The PPSh-41 got its ammunition from a magazine.
It was also a selective fire submachine gun.
It was made mostly of stamped steel.
It fired the 7.62×25mm pistol round.
The PPSh-41 was used a lot during World War II and the Korean War, as it was the most produced SMG throughout the wars.
It was still in use in Vietnam with the Viet Cong as late as 1970 as the Chinese Type 50 (a copy).
There were even some PPSh-41's captured by US soldiers as late as the Iraq War.
The idea for the development of the PPSh-41 came partly from the Winter War against Finland.
It was found in this war that submachine guns were good weapons for close-quarters combat.
The PPSh-41 was developed in mid-1941.
It was made in many factories in Moscow.
Local Party members were made responsible for making sure enough PPSh-41s were made.
A few hundred weapons were made in November 1941.
Another 155,000 were made over the next five months.
By spring 1942, PPSh-41 factories were making around 3,000 weapons a day.
The PPSh-41's design was good, as it allowed many weapons to be made in a short amount of time (mass production).
Other examples of this kind of design were the M3 submachine gun, MP40 and the Sten.
Its parts (except the barrel) could be made by unskilled workers.
The PPSh-41 used 87 parts, and the PPD-40 used 95.
The PPSh-41 could be made in 7.3 hours.
However, the PPD-40 took 13.7 hours.
The making of the barrel was often made simpler by using barrels made for the M1891 Mosin–Nagant rifle.
The rifle barrel was cut in half.
From this one rifle barrel, two PPSh-41 barrels were made.
The barrel was then altered for the 7.62mm Soviet submachine gun cartridge.
The PPSh-41 was popular in the German armies as well.
Captured PPSh-41s were often used by the Germans against their enemies.
It was so popular among German soldiers, in fact, that it was the second most used SMG among German forces in WWII.
After the German Army captured a lot of PPSh-41s during World War II, a program was started.
In this program, the weapons would be altered to fire the German submachine gun bullet, the 9mm Parabellum.
The Wehrmacht officially called these PPSh-41s the MP41(r).
PPSh-41s which were not altered were called the MP717(r).
They were given 7.63x25mm Mauser ammunition instead of the Soviet 7.62x25mm bullet.
The German military made German-language manuals to teach soldiers how to use the PPSh-41.
These were printed and given out across the Wehrmacht.
The Soviet Union also tried the PPSh-41 in close air support.
They put dozens of PPSh-41s on some of their planes.
Over 6 million PPSh-41s were made by the end of the war.
After the Battle of Stalingrad, they became the most used small arms in the Red Army.
The Soviets would often give whole regiments or even divisions the PPSh-41.
This gave them excellent close-range power.
After the war, a large number of PPSh-41s were given to Soviet client states.
They were also handed out to communist guerillas.
The North Korean People's Army (NKPA) and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) fighting in Korea got huge amounts of PPSh-41s.
They were also given the North Korean Type 49 and the Chinese Type 50.
These were copies of the PPSh-41s with small changes.
The PPSh-41 was used a lot during the entire Korean War.
Though it was not very accurate, the PPSh-41 did well in close-range battles because of its extremely high rate of fire and its high ammo capacity.
These often happened in the Korean War, especially at night.
United Nations forces often had trouble with returning enough bullets when they were attacked by communists with the PPSh-41.
Some U.S. infantry officers said that the PPSh-41 was the best gun of the war.
It was not as accurate as the U.S. M1 Garand or M1 carbine.
However, it gave more power at close range.
The PPSh-41 fired the 7.62x25mm (Tokarev) bullet.
The 7.62x25mm was the main Soviet pistol and submachine gun bullet.
The PPSh-41 weighed around 12 pounds (5.45 kg) with a full 71-round magazine.
It weighed 9.5 pounds (4.32 kg) with a loaded 35-round magazine.
The PPSh-41 could fire 900 rounds per minute.
This was very high compared to other submachine guns of World War II.
The PPSh-41 did not have a grip on it.
Because of this, the soldier usually had to hold the PPSh-41 behind the drum magazine.
The soldier could also hold the bottom of the drum.
35-round box magazines could have been used from 1942.
However, Soviet soldiers in World War II usually kept the 71-round drum magazine.
The PPSh-41 drum magazine was a copy of the Finnish M31 Suomi magazine.
It held 71 rounds.
The drum magazine was slower and more difficult to load with ammunition than the box magazine.
The box magazine began to be used more after 1942.
Even though it had less bullets in it, the box magazine made it easier to hold the weapon.
It was possible that the PPSh-41 would fire bullets if it was dropped on a hard surface.
This was because of its open bolt design.
Different kinds of PPSh-41
Because the Germans had captured so many PPSh-41s, a program was started.
In this program, the weapons would be altered to fire the German submachine gun bullet.
This bullet was called the 9mm Parabellum.
During World War II, an even simpler submachine gun was brought in to service.
It was called the PPS-43.
However, it did not replace the PPSh-41 during the war.

(DI) (English: The German Inscriptions of Medieval and Early Modern Times) is one of the oldest collections of historical inscriptions.
The series tries to collect, to describe and to explain a huge number of inscriptions.
The inscriptions used date from medieval and early modern times.
The Inscriptions are in today's Federal Republic of Germany, Republic of Austria and South Tyrol.
The project was instituted by the German linguist Friedrich Panzer (from Heidelberg) in 1934.
The historians Karl Brandi (from Göttingen) and Hans Hirsch (from Vienna) helped him with his effort.
The scientists planed the task as an interacademic venture to publish writings concerning epigraphy.
By now 81 volumes have been published.
An individual volume contains usually the inscriptions of a single city, of a German district or an Austrian district.
Several of the Academies of Sciences work together to publish the volumes and to push the project further.
The German Academies involved are in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Mainz, Göttingen und München.
Also the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna is involved.
The Reichert-Verlag is the publishing house of the scientific editions.
Deutsche Inschriften Online (DIO)
The Academies of Sciences in Mainz and Göttingen planed and carried the project "Deutsche Inschriften Online" (English: German Inscriptions Online) out.
The project's ambition was to digitalize the volumes DI 66/45/56/58/61 and make them available online.
The realisation is based on a database who was developed by the Inscription-offices in Greifswald and Mainz.
The venture has an innovative character.
It is seeing itself as a broadening of the project "Inschriften Mittelrhein-Hunsrück (IMH)" (English: Inscriptions of the Middlerhine-Hunsrück).
The IMH-Project was worked out in 2008.
The "Institut für Geschichtliche Landeskunde an der Universität Mainz" (English: Institute for Regional History at the University of Mainz) took part in working out the IMH-Project.
The project digitalized the volume "Die Inschriften des Rhein-Hunsrück Kreises I (DI 60)" (English: The Inscriptions of the Rhine-Hunsrück District) edited by epigraphist Eberhard J. Nikitsch.
In the meantime the website of the IMH-Project has merged into the DIO-Web portal.
In the long run digitalization and making available online of further volumes is scheduled.
Also a translation of the DIO-Website into the English language is projected.
Besides the digitalized volumes DIO features an elaborated search interface, news concerning epigraphy and series of articles.
The series featured are "Epigraphischer Tipp" (English: Epigraphical Hint) and "Inschrift im Fokus" (English: Focused on Inscription).
There are also a glossary and a list of topical weblinks.
Additionally the site presents a wide array of photographs and pictures of inscriptions or things alike.
By this means the publishers try to interweave different alternatives of presenting information to the public.
Today twelve volumes including more than 4170 items and more than 4000 illustrations and photographs can be retrieved by the user.
Currently online available are the volumes DI-19 Göttingen (City), DI-28 Hameln, DI-36 Hannover, DI-42 Einbeck, DI-45 Goslar, DI-56 Braunschweig, DI-58 Hildesheim, DI-60 Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis I, DI-61 Helmstedt, DI-66 Göttingen (District), DI-46 Minden, The Inscriptions of the City of Mainz.

Before "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was written, Selena had performed cover versions of popular songs while on tour.
While touring on the Entre A Mi Mundo Tour, Selena had decided to perform a song she had recently written.
The song was called "Little Bidi Bubbles", "Little Bubbles" and "Swim Swim Swim!"
The song was in English and had talked about a fish swimming in the ocean happily.
The fish was given only one wish and had decided to give that wish away to another fish she had really liked.
The song was performed in the style of roots reggae mixed with cumbia music.
The song had became a sound check for Selena y Los Dinos, after Selena had written the song.
Initially, Selena had wanted to perform the song to her fans and see their reactions before she would professionally record it.
The song was not recorded even though it was given positive feedback from fans.
A.B. Quintanilla III, Selena's brother, was short on songs to be recorded for Selena's next studio album.
A.B had wanted to record an "exotic progressive" album that would help Selena to expand her fan base even bigger.
He then decided to finish writing "Little Bidi Bubbles" and turn it into a Caribbean reggae song mixed with Colombian cumbia to attract fans from the Caribbean.
Pete Astudillo, a former back-up dancer for the band, also helped with writing the song.
Chris Perez, the widower of Selena, had brought Rock fusion and guitar solos into the song.
The song was written in Spanish and was produced by A.B., Selena's father Abraham Quintanilla Jr and Bebu Silvetti.
Brian "Red" Moore, a family friend, had mixed the song.
Roger Emerson became the music arranger for the song. "
Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was recorded in Q-Productions in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Around the early months of 1994, the lyrics of the song was finished.
Selena had recorded the song a few weeks afterwards.
A.B. told interviewers that he was afraid and nervous about releasing the song because of its mixed music genres.
He also said that the use of mixed genres had never been done before for a Tejano singer.
After Amor Prohibido (1994) was released, EMI Latin had a hard time choosing a lead single.
Selena and the record company had wanted "Amor Prohibido" as the lead single, whereas A.B. had wanted "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom".
A.B. had tried to convince his sister and EMI, but was unsuccessful. "
Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" had then became a promotional single for the album.
When Selena was killed on March 31, 1995, she was in the middle of releasing a crossover album.
EMI Latin and Selena's family had decided to release it on July 18 of that same year.
However, since the album was not finished, they were short on songs.
A.B. had then made a few remix versions of Selena's most popular and famous songs, one of them being "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", which were included in Dreaming of You (1995).

"Fotos y Recuerdos" () is a song by American singer Selena.
The song sampled the song "Back on the Chain Gang" by The Pretenders.
Gulfoss is a waterfall in Iceland.
It is part of the Golden Circle tour, which is a popular tour that many tourists take.
The Golden Circle shows you the national park Þingvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss (meaning "golden falls"), and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers (erupting hot-springs).
In Icelandic, 'Gul' means 'Gold' or 'Golden' and 'Foss' translates into 'Fall'.
Gullfoss and its environments were designed in 1979 as a nature reserve.
This served to permanently protect the waterfall and allow the public to enjoy this unique area.
The Environment Agency of Iceland is responsible for the management of this reserve.
Tourism of this amazing waterfall has been dated to as far back as 1875.In the early days of the last century, Gullfoss was at the centre of much controversy regarding foreign investors and their desire to profit off Iceland’s nature.
In the year 1907, an English businessman, Howell, sought to utilise the waterfall’s energy and harboured ambitions to use its energy to fuel a hydroelectric plant.
At the time, Gullfoss was owned by a farmer named Tómas Tómasson.
Tómas declined Howell’s offer to purchase the land, stating famously “I will not sell my friend!”
He would, however, go on to lease Howell the land without the knowledge of a loophole that would allow him to proceed with his plans.
It was Tómas’ daughter, Sigríður Tómasdóttir, who would lead the charge to stop Howell’s ambitions.
Having grown up on her father’s sheep farm where she helped pave the first road to Gullfoss, she sought to get the contract nullified, hurriedly saving her own money to hire a lawyer.
The ensuing legal battle was an uphill struggle; the case continued for years, forcing Sigríður to travel many times by foot to Reykjavík, a distance of over 100 kilometres (62 miles).
Circumstances became so difficult that Sigríður threatened to throw herself into the waterfall if any construction began.
The gorge was formed by flash flood waters that forced their way through the cracks in the basalt lava layers.
On average the water flow is around 110 m3/s. But when these floods happen it can go up to 2000 m3/s, this means that it can fill almost 50 Olympic pools in one minute or about one every second.
The floods were so intense that they could fill up the gorge, which is an impressive 32 meters tall, up to the top.
Gullfoss is a tiered Cataract, its total height is 32 m. It has two falls, of which the longest drop is 21 meters tall.
It is in the Hvitá River in the Southwestern part of Iceland.

Biophysical chemistry is the study of biological systems.
It looks for explanations of the various phenomena in biological systems in terms of either the molecules that make up the system or the supra-molecular structure of these systems.
Biophysical chemists use various tools used in physical chemistry to probe the structure of biological systems.
These tools include spectroscopic methods like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray diffraction.
For example, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009 was based on x-ray diffraction studies of ribosomes.
Biophysical chemists study protein structure and the functional structure  of cell membranes.
For example, enzyme action can be explained in terms of the shape of a pocket in the protein molecule that matches the shape of the substrate molecule or its modification due to binding of a metal ion.
Similarly, biophysical chemists study the structure and function of the biomembranes using model supramolecular structures.
These include liposomes or phospholipid vesicles of different compositions and sizes.
The oldest well-known institute for biophysical chemistry is Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen.
The Biophysics Department of King's College London is where the X-ray crystallography studies of DNA was done in the early 1950s.
Biophysical techniques
Bioinorganic chemistry studies the role of metals in biology.
It also studies  natural phenomena such as the behaviour of metalloproteins and artificially introduced metals in medicine and toxicology.
Many biological processes such as respiration depend on some inorganic molecules.
Bioinorganic chemistry also includes the study of inorganic models or mimics that imitate the way metalloproteins work.
It is a mix of biochemistry and inorganic chemistry.
Bioinorganic chemistry studies the implications for biology of electron-transfer proteins, substrate bindings and activation, atom and group chemistry as well as metal properties.
Paul Ehrlich used organoarsenic (“arsenicals”) for the treatment of syphilis.
This demonstrated the relevance of metals, or at least metalloids, to medicine.
Then Rosenberg discovered the anti-cancer activity of cisplatin (cis-PtCl2(NH3)2).
The first protein ever crystallized  was urease.
This has nickel at its active site.
Vitamin B12, the cure for pernicious anemia, was shown by crystallography by Dorothy Hodgkin to have a cobalt atom in a corrin macrocycle.
The Watson-Crick structure for DNA demonstrated the key structural role played by phosphate-containing polymers.
Research areas
Metal ion transport and storage: this covers a diverse collection of ion channels, ion pumps (e.g. NaKATPase), vacuoles, siderophores, and other proteins and small molecules whose aim is to carefully control the concentration of metal ions in the cell (sometimes referred to as metallome).
Hydrolase enzymes: these include a diverse collection of proteins that interact with water and substrates.
Examples of this class of metalloproteins are carbonic anhydrase, metallophosphatases, and metalloproteinases.
Metal-containing electron transfer proteins:
iron-sulfur proteins such as rubredoxins, ferredoxins, and Rieske proteins
blue copper proteins
cytochromes
Oxygen transport and activation proteins: these make use of metals such as iron, copper, and manganese.
Heme is used by red blood cells in the form of hemoglobin for oxygen transport.
Other oxygen transport systems include myoglobin, hemocyanin, and hemerythrin.
Oxidases and oxygenases are metal systems found throughout nature that take advantage of oxygen to carry out important reactions such as energy generation.
Some metalloproteins are designed to protect a biological system from the potentially harmful effects of oxygen and other reactive oxygen-containing molecules such as hydrogen peroxide.
A complementary metalloprotein to those that react with oxygen is chlorophyll, the basis of photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is a carbon ring pigment, similar to other porphyrin pigments such as heme.
This system is part of the complex protein machinery that produces oxygen as plants do photosynthesis.
Bioorganometallic systems such as hydrogenases and methylcobalamin are biological examples of organometallic compounds.
This area is more focused on the utilization of metals by unicellular organisms.
Bioorganometallic compounds are significant in environmental chemistry.
The nitrogen metabolism pathways: these make use of metals.
Nitrogenase is one of the more famous metalloproteins associated with nitrogen metabolism.
More recently, the cardiovascular and neuronal importance of nitric oxide has been examined, including the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. (
See also: nitrogen assimilation.)
Metals in medicine: this is the study of the design and mechanism of action of metal-containing pharmaceuticals, and compounds that interact with endogenous metal ions in enzyme active sites.
This diverse field includes the platinum and ruthenium anti-cancer drugs, chelating agents, gold drug chaperones, and gadolinium contrast agents.
In mental health: some inorganic compounds have been found to treat certain disorders.
For example, lithium carbonate has been used to treat mania in bipolar disorder.
