From drawing board to being put in the hands of the Soviet defenders took just two weeks! Remarkably, it stayed in Soviet, Warsaw Pact and Chinese production until 1968. PPS stands for `Pistalyet Poolemyot Sudayeva’, or Sudayev's machine gun. They are a very reliable design and work particularly well in very wet conditions. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold a London or Birmingham proof mark and certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
