Allright you WW2 gunnuts, here is a very easy question, your a WW2 Russian soldier, which small arm would you have liked to have used, you may pick more than one, but please if possble keep it to two, three at the most.

I will be doing over time polls on the other nations in WW2, than take the resutls of them, and doing a poll listing the most poplular, than putting them in one big poll to see which is the most desired by all. this will take time, but it will be fun.
 
PPSH all the way.

Mosin-Nagant second choice.

NAA.
 
PPSH hands down. They are kinda heavy tho.

SVT-40 for a rifle. The Nagant is accurate and reliable, but slow. I want a magazine and a semi-auto action at the two way range.
 
Well thats not a small arm, would have put in the maxium and anti tank rifle also, and the russian50 but only allowed 10 sections.

See the PPSH is getting a fast lead
 
I would like a SVT-40 sniper for long distance.
a PpSH 41 for short ranges

my second choice for the rifle would be the Mosin Nagant Sniper since it's the rifle that you know will function flawlessly no matter what
 
Well the PPSH is the most desired so far with the 91/30 sniper and SVD 40 in second place and the 91/30. the carbines and DP-28 spraing for third place.

From all accounts Ivan was damn lucky to have had anything at certain points in the war. Next to the Japanese soldier,I would have least liked to be a Russian. Not only did they suffer immensely from privation and neglect,but the many who became POWs of the Germans were treated even worse by "Uncle Joe" when/if they got home.

This is very true. Those guys were treated worse than cattle; bad food, questionable supply chain, poor junior and senior leadership, bad tobacco (every real soldier needs smokes or chew), NKVD guys on your a**... no thank you.

But if I had a choice, a PPSH all the way, a TT-33 for back up, a sh*t-ton of frags, a section of guys that knew what they were doing, backed up by a platoon and company with competent officers and NCO's... as well as arty and air support... sure... sign me up. :p

Not to mention the fact that the infantry would be marched ahead of the armour to clear a path through the "minenfeld". At least the Japanese soldier got to serve his time in a tropical get away, that is unless you got posted to the Alutians, Than I would rater be in Ivans army. There was also the posibility being a russian soldier that you foxhole buddies name is Natasha!

When I was in Phoenix AZ in the early 70's visiting Curtis Earl, the machine gun dealer. He had a chrome PPSH41 with drums that was seized from a security guard for a russian official that was in Las Vegas to gamble. The hotel staff did room service and saw the drunk guard and called the LVPD. It was chrome with light wood, drums, clips and fitted case.
 
You can recognize me by the stubby little feet underneath a couple hundred pounds of baseplate for a 120mm mortar.
