What was the proper nomenclature for the "burp gun"? Those were nasty sounding things.<<

There were four models but the most common in the Korean War were the PPsh, M1941 (stick magazine) and the PPD, M1940 (drum magazine.) The earliest model was the M34/38 and later model the PPS M1943 (stick magazine and metal folding stock.)
