** This will be the last shipment ** As of 9/19/2024 Pioneer Arms is no more. The owner indicated that the feds had taken control of the building, and management abruptly fired all employees on the spot. At this point, it sounds like they do not have control over any of their assets including their website. Due to this development although these items are new in the box limited lifetime warranty only extends to the lifetime of the company. With that said these will be sold AS-IS.

NOTE: The item in the photo is a sample. Units are NIB. No notable differences between units.

The PPS43 (Pistolet-Pulemet Sudaeva, model of 1943 = Sudaev submachine gun) was born as an answer for the need of a weapon that would be more compact and mobile than the PPSh-41, which was in use then by the Soviet Army. The PPSh-41 was somewhat too long to be used by tank crews, mobile recon groups and paratroopers. In late 1941, the Red Army issued a request for a new, more compact SMG. Designer Sudaev initially designed his new SMG in 1942 and it was adopted under the designation of PPS42. Next year he refined the design and this final model was designated as PPS43. This SMG was manufactured in significant numbers, with nearly 2 million PPS43 weapons manufactured between 1943 and 1946. The PPS43 is sometimes referred to as the best SMG of World War II. After WWII, it was widely exported to pro-Soviet regimes around the world and widely copied. The PPS43 was license-produced in Poland starting in 1946.
