I'd much rather shoot at Nazis than generic derka derkas.

Or communists. Shit, you know what would be cool? A Wolfenstein 3D total conversion set in the Soviet Union during the 1950's, you collect treasures and shoot mooks like usual, but this time they're filthy commies instead of filthy nazis, you could even have Stalin as a final boss.

There'd be weapons like Tokarev pistols and PPS-43 subguns (sharing the same ammo pool), a Mosin Nagant rifle in the early levels, old, but they figure it does well enough for simple guard duty in the prison camp you're escaping from, hits hard and is accurate, has a bayonet which hurts, but only holds 5 rounds and you gotta work the bolt between shots.

Later you'd find a more recent SKS rifle as they send reinforcements from an army base to stop you. For heavier dakka, you can find a DP-28, kind of old, but holds 42 rounds in it's pan magazine, making much better use of the ammo you'd otherwise use in the old Nagant while hitting as hard. There'd be the occasional machinegun team manning an old Maxim gun, fortified and puts out lots of lead, you can't take the gun with you, but you could man it or take the belt of ammo and use it for your Nagant or DP-28.

In the final episode/levels you'd actually run into elite troopers armed with brand new AK-47 rifles, sharing ammo pool with the SKS, but holding three times as much ammo, reloading way faster, and is full-auto. Stalin would be armed with two AKs or something (after you've defeated his suit, fitted with 7.62x54r aircraft machineguns).
But also being a Wolfenstein sort of game, you need a high speed machinegun with lots of power, like some sort of Gatling or something else with lots of barrels which looks awesome, one could either draw from existing prototypes and designs of the time, or make something up completely.

There'd also have to be fantastical elements such as occult and magical themes (black magic fits Russia very well), robots and super soldiers.
