Because Germans are bred to be engineers. They have a shallow, easily redirected moral sense and an obsession with minutae, which is why all the great German philosophers focused on codifying morality. Everyone else can figure morals out on their own, but Germans needed an extremely complex system to refer to when they weren't sure.

Making guns is easier than deciding whether to use them on everyone in the world.

Not really but none can or should deny that the MG42 was indeed a fearsome weapon, influenced by the Russian PPSH. I mean look at the part which contains the gun barrel, this just shows Russian superiority and a lack of German ingenuity.

I'll bite. The MG34 existed before the PPSH-41, which the Soviets ripped from the Suomi KP-31, which the Finns used to rip the Red army a new asshole with, while destroying "superior engineered" Soviet T-34s with molotov cocktails. Fuck off.

Stop acting like a crybaby. Also why'd you start talking about the mg34 yo? Literally why? Also my point still stands, Germans copied Soviet designs more than once during the course of war. Now it seems that indeed the PPD-40 was influenced by the KP-31 but the PPSh-41 clearly has a different and distinct look from the other two, I mean it's just soviet ww2 era aesthetics, also the PPSh was much better than the Finnish machine pistol for using a more effective round.

Despite being a 10 year older design and using 9x19 the KP-31 still tore soviets a new one in the winter war and in the continuation war.
Also it is noted that it was the main reason why ruskies started to develop their own SMG.

Okay..? But no shit a 9mm pistol round would kill a person, especially if you fire a shit ton into one guy, but the thing is the Russian 7.62×25mm Tokarev was superior due to being faster and having more penetration than the 9×19mm Parabellum.

The PPSH-41 was a fucking piece of shit, the drum magazines jammed a fuckton, and the regular mags jammed just as well, there's many reasons why it was replaced by the PPS-43

The KP-31 actually functioned very reliably with it's drums, and arguably they're the best subgun drums ever designed.

Furthermore, he brought up the MG34 because the MG42 is based on it, not the PPSH-41

Slavaboos should be raped.

There's no point in making it 5.56

It's kinda like with TT33 - you can load Mauser C96 rounds inside of it and it WILL shoot and cycler properly, but for what purpose? The gun is engineered to survive much, much stronger loads, if they'd want to use Mauser 7.62x25 they would just thin and weaken many parts to make this shit cheaper and lighter, but no - they wanted huge stopping power so they've made a handgun that was rugged as fuck so it could actually survive the loads it used.

Same goes with MG34 - it was designed to fire full-sized rifle round, you can turn it into 5.56 but something built purposefully for 5.56 will be simply better.
>>
>>30520355
>it was replaced by the PPS-43
It wasn't.

PPS-43 was cheaper, lighter "PDW" supplement to PPSH-41, used by tank crews, paratroopers etc.
>>
>>30520427
It should have replaced it where possible, I'd hate to be stuck with that jamomatic.
>>
>>30520455
PPS-43 really wasn't better. It didn't had folding stock until later models(it LOOKED like it was supposed to fold but was welded shut) and faced similar problems with magazines as PPSH had - shitty mag mount + shitty springs + shitty mag quality = tons of jams - if you consider PPSH to be jamomatic then so is PPS.

>obsession with minutae

PPD design itself predates winter war, but drum magazine is something commies copied. PPD and KP-31 also have something else in common, both were designed to kill ruskies. Soviet military didn't give a fuck about SMGs prior to winter war, but there were other organizations in Soviet Union that had found SMGs useful in culling slav scum, NKVD, they had funded development of PPD since 1934.

Which is why their cars can't go 1000 miles without breaking down. Their tanks can't drive 10 feet without breaking down. And why their guns are overpriced despite not offering any real advantages over any other platform they imitate.

In short German engineering is just a by word for shoddy craftsmanship.
