Hello ww2aa I am getting ready to add a new gun into my arsenal and I have fallen in love with S&T ppsh. I have read many positive reviews on this gun but I thought I would ask the experts before I make the purchase. So is the S&T PPSH 41 a good ww2 airsoft gun? I want a gun that has decent range/accuracy, is durable, and will function well, does this gun measure up? Also if I get this gun i will be putting a tight-bore barrel in it first thing (just something to consider) and if this gun is not worth my time and money what is a good ww2 gun for around the same price? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have an S&T PPSH and so far no complaints. Seems well built and shoots quite accurate. Out of the box shoots around 385 FPS with .20g. It does have the quick spring release to change it to a higher spring but so far all tests have yielded very little extra FPS with a larger spring (probably due to the short barrel) and if you put too large a spring you risk loosing a few teeth on the piston. So anything over a 120M spring would need a new piston.
The metal is real steel (I did the magnet test) as opposed to pot metal and is nicely finished.
All in all I would recommend it. Good quality gun with quality packaging. While S&T is a fairly new company they seem like they are trying to position themselves as a quality Airsoft maker with very nice packaging, detailed instructions and good looking guns. I also have their SVD which is also impressive and bears the same quality look and feel.

The report I get from Andrew the owner at airsoft extreme is that after selling many of them they have been reliable and very well received by his customers. According to him a much much more reliable choice than the ares which he also sells (for more money)

I owned one for a while and at least for me people feared that gun. It shoots hard and is very loud because of the electric blowback. The last game I used it I was a taliban fighter and the US team would bunker down anytime they heard the loud clatter of it because they new a face full of bbs was soon to follow
