    Today we’re playing with the DPM, a later version of the DP-28 you all know and love as the famous “Dinner Plate.” Which is probably the only Dinner Plate a lot of Russians got to see in the Soviet Union…

    1:47 A small mistake. The letter "П" (P), in the designation of the DPM, this is not a machine gun (Pylemet), but an infantry (Pekhotny) designation.
    For example, Degtyarev owns the authorship of another iconic machine gun of the Red Army, DT (DT-29) Degtyarev(D) Tank(T) machine gun. It was properly placed from the entire Soviet armored vehicle, as well as thanks to the disk on 60 rounds and a folding butt, he was popular in parachute and infantry units.

      Degtyarev was a great designer... who sadly wasn't a fan of finishing, refining and fixing his designs. He could have made a belt feed adapter for DP-28 just like Shpagin did for his(Degtyarov's) DK turning it into renowned DShK(deserving or not is different question), but instead he chased new medal for new gun aka DS-39. Which wasn't ready neither for adoption, nor for mass production.
      Imagine if soviet troops had RP-46 in 1941? Gunner being able to use drums on the move and switch to belt feed when he gets into position and assistant gunner with adapter and belts catches up?

      Shit knives being marketed as good is something that has been happening forever. Anyone who knows anything about knives would have seen Kamikoto for what it was instantly, anyone who doesn't would probably be happy with them - which is most people. Whats the alternative, they don't buy Kamikoto and instead go into a big box department store and overpay for some other dogshit quality knives? This is just a new advertising medium for the same old bullshit - at least creators get paid for this snake oil.

      @@majormajorasic That is the alternative to you or me who care, not people who pretty much refuse to learn, take any interest or even listen to someone that does - we aren't the target market and that market will not go away. Your suggestion is also much harder than simply buying a completely affordable but awesome knife like a Victorinox Fibrox, those things cost bugger all and you can get them anywhere. It's not like it's even hard or expensive to get good knives, people just want to buy this tat and think it's special and they got a bargain, they want to believe this marketing. So yeah, at least Kamikoto gets creators paid, its going to happen with or without them.

    As a side note: the P in DP-28 and DPM stands not for "Pulemet", but for "Pehotniy", which means "infantry" (or, I suppose, "infantry's" is more literal a translation). As in, "infantry machinegun". Degtyarev had other types of machineguns to his name, so I guess it makes sense? Confuses the living bejesus out of me every time, though.

This comes from a late 20's popular song by the same name by Ture Ara (2nd most sold domestic single in Finland), and because the spinning magazine reminded the people of the time of gramophone record players.

    First machinegun I got to shoot! As an ROTC cadet I attended “Spartan Training” at Fort Devens, MA. A week of training with the 10th Special Forces Group. One of the training activities was a range day with some obsolete US weapons as well as some Soviet block weapons. I have to say, for an 18 year old cadet, 5 rounds for “familiarization fire” through a DP28, SKS, and AKM was pretty cool. The 10th Special Forces always had foreign weapons on hand for their “sterile” missions.

    Brandon, consider the RP-46 belt-fed conversion of the DPM.
    Soviets saw the German mg34/42, and said "we need something like that".
    So they made an attachment that locks on to the feeding mechanism where the pan mag sits, modified the gas system to make it work and used a heavier barrel for sustained fire, and voila, belt fed DP.
    This conversion of existing stocks of DPM was the interim infantry MG in Soviet issue, until Kalashnikov completed the PK.

  • @SancrusGloria
    @SancrusGloria Год назад +3

    I'll add a couple of interesting facts.
    1. DP is a descendant of the legendary Fedorov Avtomat: the Red Army soldiers regarded it as a hand-held machine gun, and not as an assault rifle, as Fedorov himself saw it, at the beginning a heat-protective casing from Madsen was attached to the machine gun, which was never started in Kovrov (although at the beginning of the ebu they attached a casing from a Lewis machine gun, and a little later water cooling), then there was a variation with a disc magazine and a bayonet. And in 1924, the Revolutionary Military Council banned the use of other cartridges, except for 7.62 * 54R. Therefore, a new variation of the machine gun was worked for him, additionally lost the whole box, receiving only a butt made of wood and a box magazine on top. But the automation remained from the same Fedorov machine, so it often broke down. Also, the military did not like the store that closes the review. Therefore, then the Maxim-Tokarev machine gun won. But it was considered as a temporary option. Therefore, by the next contest Degtyarev completely changed the automation and added a disk magazine.
    2. DP had several relatives. The first one is YES, that is, the Degtyarev Aviation, which was decommissioned due to the appearance of the SHKAS machine gun, which had a rate of fire of 1800 rounds per minute. But a muzzle brake, used later on the DShK, and a 63-cartridge magazine appeared on it. And this store was used on the DT (Degtyarev Tank), which was in service with all Soviet tanks of the Second World War. Next comes the RP-46. In fact, this is the same DPM, only with a special adapter that allowed it to be powered from the same tapes as the SG-43 machine gun. But if necessary, it could be removed and disk stores could be used. Yes, just like on HK21. But then the Kalashnikov Machine Gun appeared. Well, his last descendant is the RPD, which was originally created for a competition for a "Heavy Avtomat", the essence of which was the creation of a machine gun for an intermediate cartridge. Then the favorite was Sudaev Avtomat. And Degtyarev made 2 options: in fact, the same DPM for the 7.62 * 41 cartridge (then still 41) and the same pord tape power, which was the beginning of a new class of weapons.
    3. There were variations of accidents with different types of ammunition. It was under a cloth tape from a Maxim machine gun, it was under rigid tapes like a Hotchkiss machine gun, it was under semi-rigid tapes and with a radiator like Lewis, it was with a sector magazine... Moreover, there was an installation of 4 such machine guns. Well, there was also a bunker-powered machine gun like the Japanese Type 11, only in the USSR, unlike the USA, there was an extra pencil that was broken by the spring of this store, which became an illustration of the reluctance to have such a scheme. And in the USA it was not found, and Garand began his crusade against the fingers.
    P.S. The idea to make a light machine gun as an enhanced version of an assault rifle was proposed not by Kalashnikov, but by Korobov. And as it turns out, such a scheme provides not only logistical, but also combat interchangeability of ammunition, improves logistics well in terms of spare parts and unifies production.
