Twitter is the Battle of Stalingrad, but with complex patterns of electrons moving through fiber-optic cables around the world at light speed, instead of 7.62x54mm and 7.92x57mm ammo. #saturdaynightpedantryhttps://twitter.com/KarlreMarks/status/1020814487941713920 …
I got the impression there was a shortage of optimal weaponry on both sides...

True, especially for the Soviets at the beginning and the Wehrmacht at the end. A fun fact about the Mosin-Nagant is that you could cut the barrel in half and with minimal work make 2 PPSh barrels.

But given the urban nature of the battle, isn't it more likely 9mm Parabellum and 7.62 Tokarev from submachine guns were more common?
