The PPP43 deactivated (EU-deko) is a well-known post-war machine pistol made in Poland (Radom). PPS_ (pistol machine gun). The Polish arms factory Fabryka Broni "Łucznik", Radom has manufactured the PPS-43 machine gun since 1948. If I get it right, they're still producing this weapon today. That is a modernised version, though. The PPS-42/43 machine pistol is originally Soviet-Russian-made. In 1946, the Soviet Union stopped producing this machine pistol. In Poland, this machine pistol was produced under the name PPS wz.43 since 1948. Between 1952 and 1955, the PPS wz.43/52 was also manufactured there.
