Guns of the Red Army in WW2

There were many guns that the red army used so that means there are many you can use depending on your budget and what ammo puches you buy.
The following guns are the more common guns seen on the battlefield:


Mosin Nagant 1891/30
This bolt action rifle was the armys standard issue gun and is seen, in this picture, with bayonet sling and ammo pouch







PPSh-41
This submachine gun was one of the best and cheapest made in the world and highly prfered by Russian an German soldiers and is seen, in this picture, with drum mag, pouch, sling and cleanining oil. Later in the war they used a stick mag as the drum mag jammed and you could carry more



SVT-40
this self loading rifle was popular in the early stages of the war but became to be known as a bit of a liability. It is seen here with pouch, sling cleaning oil and various stripper clips








DP-28
This one of russias only light machine gun and would be perfect for any machine gunner. Th 'record player' or as i like to call it 'dinner plate 28' could fire and hold alot of rounds and the metal/canvas pouch could hold about 3 mags depending how many you want to carry. Seen here with 3 mags, pouch and sling







Most groups accept deact or non-deact but every group is different and ask before you buy and some groups even accept airsoft
