I fear you won't find any worthwhile sources to put that debate to rest.
As an example: Chris Mcnab repeatedly mentions a cyclic rate of 900rds/min for the PPSH-41 but in the same book, pic related, also somehwat contradicts himself.
>There was nothing to choose between the weapons in terms of rates of fire (c. 900rds/min), and all performed well when delivering intense automatic fire. Yet where the Shpagin design set itself apart was in terms of manufacture, reliability and maintenance.
>The barrel was chrome lined, to make it more resistant to wear – a necessity considering the PPSh-41’s scorching rate of fire (900rds/min).
>At this point the bolt stopped in an open position; with its firing rate of c. 1,000rds/min, the PPSh-41 was necessarily an open-bolt weapon,
No one seems to actually address the fact that stated numbers wildly differ or why.
