It is much higher than the category standard 7 mil (milliradians), which means, as its description states, a “large bullet spread.” This can be great for dealing with multiple targets at once and may not matter at point-blank range, but against a single target, aiming down sights (ADS) may be preferable even for an engagement that barely stretches out to 5 meters.įurthermore, the weapon’s Bullet Velocity is among the slowest in the category, a product of this weapon being from the World War II era. Of course, the weapon has its quirks, namely its hip-fire spread. Its recoil is also fairly manageable despite its fast rate of fire, making it possible to stretch engagements out to medium distances if you can learn its pattern and adjust accordingly.
The PPSh-41 also has an excellent effective damage range, allowing Operators to deal a six-shot elimination (in Multiplayer) out past 15 meters, or even five shots if one is a headshot. Among all other Black Ops Cold War SMGs, the PPSh-41 has the second-fastest rate of fire in its category and boasts better damage per shot than the fastest in the game, the MAC-10. Out of all the characteristics of this open-bolt SMG, its high fire rate is the one that defines it the most.
