K'nex PPSH-41 Submachine Gun by hi5er
Hello everyone!

Today I am pleased to announce the release of my very first model, a working replica of the PPSH-41 as seen in Call of Duty: World at War. Its true trigger complete with mag, round drum, stock and iron sights, what more could you want?

I have been with the site for a couple months and only made an account recently. In general most of the Instructables on this website are pretty impressive and I have made a whole load of 'em, so I thought it was time I built my own. But, I wanted to make something different, something I hadn't seen on the site before and after debating between the Type 100 or the PPSH, I decided to go for the PPSH, because I thought it would look more interesting.

So below is some pictures of the PPSH I started and finished on 17th May 2009. It took me quite a while, but thats because I made it from scratch, using a single picture I enlarged from Google. The only thing I didn't invent was the trigger, even the ram rod and mag push are my own design.

If I get enough prompts / comments / ratings I will release the instructables for this, please don't post this if you manage to build it yourself. Thanks.

I actually started making a ppsh at the beginning of May but im still working out all the problems with it.

Can't help but think of a Thompson. Take off the pistol grip.
hi5er (author) says: May 23, 2009. 3:22 PM
Whats a pistol grip? >.> And they are similar guns lol, mines thinner than the actual thompsons on the website tho, and I didnt base it off them... :l
DrWeird117 says: May 24, 2009. 3:08 AM
The pistol grip. The handle protruding from the lower receiver.
hi5er (author) says: May 25, 2009. 3:44 PM
Oh right, sorry didnt know what you meant ;) Well I think the pistol grip makes the gun a lot more realistic compared with the real life counter part. A straight handle would be too similar to a thompson or something... But thats just me....
DrWeird117 says: May 25, 2009. 7:43 PM
I meant take it off. The whole thing.
hi5er (author) says: May 26, 2009. 5:57 PM
Well the trigger and this weird thing that keeps the ram rod inline is connected to the upper part of the handle, so i couldnt remove the entire thing or the gun wouldnt work. Second if I did remove it, yes it would look more realistic but the trigger would be too far away to be pulled, its at a comfortable distance at the moment. It would require a lot of modding if I was to use your idea.
DrWeird117 says: May 26, 2009. 6:08 PM
Dang...
hi5er (author) says: May 27, 2009. 11:15 AM
I could move the stock on the bottom of the handle, but I dont how strong it would be... May just make everything more flimsy... That any better?
DrWeird117 says: May 27, 2009. 2:55 PM
Leave it as it is. Looks good.

post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi5er (author) says: May 25, 2009. 3:45 PM
Exams........................................................ Maybe later. I'd like some more support though as it'll take a while.
hi5er (author) says: May 23, 2009. 3:23 PM
So does anyone actually want the instructables for this or is it fine as a memory? Coz im kinda busy atm lol :)
DJ Radio says: May 18, 2009. 6:58 AM
This could work better if the mag wasnt fake.
hi5er (author) says: May 18, 2009. 9:39 AM
The mag is a real mag with a round shell to make it look more realistic. It works just like a regular mag.
DJ Radio says: May 18, 2009. 8:05 PM
well if it was working like the real mag. It would revolve and stuff.
hi5er (author) says: May 19, 2009. 3:15 AM
True... I guess... But im not that smart. Cut me some slack its my first model.
DJ Radio says: May 19, 2009. 9:27 AM
you could make a gatling-type revolving barrel. and yeah its decent.
TwistedParadox says: May 23, 2009. 11:30 AM
Me just had an brainstorm
hi5er (author) says: May 19, 2009. 3:06 PM
Wouldnt you need those black chainy things to allow for rotation? I have about six lol. Not nearly enough to make it revovle or anything. Also, I dont have any gears if that was your plan B ;P
