yes, 7.63mmMauser / 7.62mm russian version are powerful rounds. I ahve fired a captured Chicom Tokarev too.JBTW I did a longish Infantry Centre course "Small arms / coaching / marksmanship", and managed to pass on all counts, even with glasses, but only wore the badge on my sleeve, for a year until I left. (Crowned + crossed LE rifles, over L M R P.) Fired a Dshka, and SG42 (Goryunov?) too, and that 14.5mm thing. MG3(MG42-7.62Nato-Brrrriipp), Browning 0.5 M2HB, M1919/.30, FN/MAG, DPM, RPD, L4(Bren), M60 (! PoS),
The PPsh was, considering the muzzle impulse and cyclic rate, a good bit easier to hold on target, for me, than the similar Thompson - box mag version, let alone the TFO (The Famous Owen!?), which was quite violent IIRC, but *.
We found, that by the 1970's at least, all OoS (;-) Owens, had worn barrels / bolts, and weak return springs *, and did NOT hit hard, even for a 9mmPar. gun.
The F1, based on it WAS good, very stable, and it hit hard. But by then you could have a Colt Commando (short Armalite), which was better all round. Except for cleaning it after use, stupid idiots in USAOO who decided to change to US mil. powder, *&^$%$##@@* !
The 100mm divisional gun - 1943 - was known to me, same gun as in Su100, KV100, JSI and maybe even JSII, and T54/5 - with APDS?. But, it is not the one I'm thinking of.Imagine a gun sitting a good bit higher in the cradle, with a somewhat shorter but still longish barrel, (it is Russian after all!), trunnioned pretty close to the breech * , AND two cylinders almost vertical on either side of the barrel, well up above it and forward (of the shield?. Possibly spring/hydraulic balancers for the muzzle preponderance * of the barrel, NOT part of the recoil system at all. Recoil probably moves gun AND cradle.
German 15cm WWII howitzer, and Brit 5.5 gun, had similar.
USSR had LOTS of these right up until Berlin, I think?
122mm gun/howitzer? maybe?
RIAA? email me?
