Tokarev PPT
Tokarev, like many other designers, did not stop at just one weapon design. The most famous design of this designer when it comes to submachine guns is the 1927 model, the PPT-27 chambered for 7.62x38mmR Nagant ammunition. But in 1929, Tokarev presented his next model. Which was an adaptation for 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammunition. The next model was the PPT-30, it was more simplified than its predecessor and more reliable.
Tokarev PPT-27
The Tokarev PPT-27 (RUS: Пистолет-пулемёт Токарева 1927 года / Pistolet-Pulemot Tokareva 1927 goda | ENG: Tokarev submachine gun 1927) is a Soviet experimental submachine gun designed by Fyodor Tokarev (the "father" of the TT-33). The SMG is chambered for the 7.62mm Nagant cartridge, which was the only domestically-manufactured pistol/revolver cartridge in the USSR at that time. Unlike the original revolver version, the cartridge used for the SMG had a crimped nose. The SMG is a typical blowback-operated weapon. Two triggers are used for selective fire. About 500 pieces of the M1927 were produced, mainly in 1931.
A civilian carbine version was also developed, which was not included in serial production. Other experimental versions included the M1928 and the M1931 SMGs, produced in very limited quantities. The first had a split grip and stock in the style of a Thompson, and the second received a cooling jacket, giving it some external resemblance to the PPD. Some M1928s and all M1931s are chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
Extensive field trials were held until 1933, competing with many domestic designs, as well as with the Vollmer VMP, Rheinmetall MP19, and Thompson, and at last the SMG was considered a failure, losing in the end to Vasily Degtyarev's new SMG design, which would be adopted as the PPD-34.
