The PPD (Russian: Пистолет-пулемёт Дегтярёва; Pistolet-Pulemyot Degtyaryova, English: Degtyaryov machine pistol) is a Soviet submachine gun developed by Vasily Degtyarev. The first prototype was created in 1929, based on the DP-27, using a similar feeding system with top-mounted disk magazines. Further improvements led to the appearance of the PPD Model 1931, which externally resembled the Tokarev M1927. In 1933, it was decided to go back to the barrel with the cooling jacket.

In 1934, limited production of the PPD-34 was started, and in 1935 it was officially accepted into service. It was the second notable submachine gun in service in the USSR, after the Thompson. In 1938, a small update was carried out, with the designation of the new model as PPD-34/38. However, the SMG continued to be considered a weapon only for certain units and most of which were in the police service. Until 1939, about 5,000 PPD-34s and PPD-34/38s were produced, after which it was decided to suspend prodcution.

However, the Winter War turned everything upside down. The PPD's production was resumed in an emergency speed. In 1940, a number of design changes were made, for easier and less costly production. Further improvements led to the appearance of the PPD-40, in particular with a new type of magazine. Although it was replaced by the PPSh-41, the PPD-40 continued to be produced until 1943 due to the war.

In 1942, a modernized version with a pistol grip and a folding buttstock in the style of the MP40 fed from 30-round box magazines was presented for trials, but it lost the competition to the PPS.

Degtyarev PDM-42 (also known as PPD-42) - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

Degtyarov PDM submachine gun (factory designation KB-P-135) was developed during early 1942 by team, led by famous Soviet gun designer Vasily Degtyarov (designer of the PPD-34/38/40 line of submachine guns, among other weapons). PDM was designed upon requirements for a compact, simple and easily manufactured submachine gun, drawn late in 1941 by GAU (General Artillery Department of the Red Army General staff). PDM submachine gun was extensively tested during 1942, and in the end it was rejected in favor of the Sudaev PPS-42 submachine gun. Only few experimental PDM submachine guns were made in Kovrov.

The PDM submachine gun is a simple blowback operated weapon, firing from an open bolt, in full automatic only. Feed is from double stack detachable box magazines. Iron sights feature flip-up rear sight blade with settings for 150 and 300 meters. Bottom-folding shoulder stock is made from stamped steel, like most other parts of the gun.
