Weapon History Overview:
North Korea began its invasion of South Korea armed largely with Soviet weapons such as the Model PPSh41, and a variety of Japanese weapons captured by the Soviets.
Designed by George Shpagin to meet desperate need, following the USSR's bitter war with Finland and the invasion by Germany, the PPSh submachine gun utilized the simple blowback action, and fires from the open bolt position. The semi or full auto selector is located within the trigger guard allowing easy access. Late models were capable of only automatic fire.
A very reliable weapon firing the powerful Soviet P1 pistol cartridge 62x25 (interchangeable with 7.63 Mauser) at a high rate of fire and with a large magazine capacity. Operation was selective, full-automatic and semi-automatic. The PPSh41 was ideally suited to the requirements and tactics employed by the Soviet and satellite Forces.
The predominant tactic used by the Chinese in assault was to equip one platoon with nothing but bags of grenades, and another with submachine guns. The Chinese occasionally attacked in massed, or "human wave" assaults, when it was considered absolutely essential to take a vital point. More often the attacks were in company strength, using every form of concealment and surprise. Their concept of a line of battle was essentially to flow around obstacles with the idea of assembling at their objective for a final assault.

Century Arms 39 Sporter Rifle, Caliber 7,62x39mm
About this weapon:
Century International Arms, Inc. is debuting a 100% U.S. made semi-auto rifle, the Centurion 39 Sporter chambered in 7.62×39mm. The Centurion 39 is assembled using all new U.S. manufactured parts. It is different from other rifles on the market. The receiver is machined from an 11 pound block of 4140 ordnance quality steel and has a proprietary V shaped Chevron Compensator, designed exclusively by Century. This unparalleled compensator design directs gases upward, which reduces recoil and makes the rifle more controllable. Instead of adjusting for windage from the front sight like other similar rifles, the rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation. Other features include a high visibility front sight post and a buttstock that is 1 inch longer, for better comfort and handling. The forend and handguard have Picatinny rails. These rails can be used to accessorize the Centurion 39 with red dot sights, scopes, lights, lasers and a fore grip. Barrel length: 16.25” without muzzle break, Overall Length: 37.25”, Weight: 8.2 lbs. Comes with two U.S. made 30 round mags.

About the Stoner Assault Weapon System:
The Stoner 63 is an American modular weapons system designed by Eugene Stoner in the early 1960s. It was produced by Cadillac Gage and used in very limited numbers in Vietnam by members of the United States Navy Seals and U.S. Marines.
The first working prototype was chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and completed in 1962. It was designated the Stoner M69W (for no other reason than when turned upside down it reads the same, symbolizing Stoner's vision of a fully invertible receiver). A second prototype called the Stoner 62 was fabricated before the team decided to focus on the promising new 5.56x45mm small caliber high-velocity cartridge, as it appeared the new round was gaining mainstream military approval. At that time the weapon became known as the Stoner 63. No more than 200 guns were manufactured at the Costa Mesa facility before production was transferred to the Cadillac Gage plant in Warren, Michigan. The weapon is covered under U.S. Patent 3,198,076
