CODMunity reports a 3.1% Multiplayer pick rate for the PPSh-41, rank 15 of 28 weapons with a reported rate.

## Official PPSh-41 numbers

Activision's launch weapon sheet gives the PPSh-41 1,110 RPM and a 71-round magazine with 71 reserve rounds. It unlocks at Player Level 30 and has 62 weapon levels. Among SMGs its fire rate ranks 1 of 5 and its magazine ranks 1 of 5. Activision describes the PPSh-41 this way: Veteran SMG with the highest rate of fire of the launch roster and a generous magazine. Its Apex Attachment is the PPSh-41 Ember. Underbarrel launcher that fires a rapid burst of pyrotechnic projectiles which keep burning briefly for area control. It blocks barrel, underbarrel, and magazine attachments.

Activision publishes no damage or time to kill.

## PPSh-41 pick rate, tier and time to kill
