The Kord was developed to replace the Soviet NSV heavy machine gun. The NSV was developed in 1969 to replace the DShK, and it was a pretty good gun - but it was manufactured in only one factory and that factory was located in Kazakhstan. When the Soviet Union crumbled, that left the new Russian Federation without and heavy MG production. So, in 1994 a design team at the Kovrov plant developed an improved model of the NSV both to improve it and to provide domestic Russian production. The first prototypes were ready in 1997, initial production began in 1998, and the new gun entered military service in 2001.
Mechanically. the Kord is a long stroke gas piston system with a rotating bolt. It still uses the 12.7x108mm Russian cartridge. The piston and operating rod have elements of PK lineage, and the ejection system is a clever forward-ejecting design that makes the gun easily used in vehicular applications without strewing empty brass around the inside of a tank/AFV/IFV. A hefty muzzle brake, shoulder stock, and neat bipod mounting system make the gun at least plausibly usable in an infantry role.

That thing looks like a perfect fallout weapon for power armor troops
According to the artbook for Fallout 4, that's what the "assault rifle" in FO4 was meant to be. They should have stayed the course and made that a .50 cal, water cooled MG because it makes more sense for a soldier wearing PA, while Fallout 3 already well established a rifle for regular foot troops. Instead somewhere in development, some idiot decided to not include the rifle from FO3 and to downgrade the power armor MG to a regular infantry rifle.
imagine it pink
@@wolfehoffmann2697 The "assault rifle" was based on a Lewis Gun if I remember correctly, hence the "tubular" design of the front of it. That being said, in my opinion the overall design of the gun is poor, without even talking about the size issues.
if you are team of 3
It has got a sci-fi feel to it.
It has a pull start like a mini bike
or walk behind lawnmower.
Well, it DOES look like you could throw it in neutral and push start it... 🤣
some say it'll have a kickstart on it's later models 🤣
@@phajthojNewest models have a car battery
Let er rip!!!
The Kord is a lot bigger than I expected it to be!
yea its a very long boi, i think the barrel makes it look huge
Ну бывает)
In op 2.2 you carry it in your backpack along with a ptrd, absolute nuts modpack
I think also seeing a 50 cal machine gun set up for infantry just breaks your brain. I can't imagine this being that easy to carry on the advance.
@@ianturner1704 Good point! Especially, how heavy that gun probably weighs!
Ginormous firearm, tiny standard AK pistol grip.
Barret 50 comes stock with a A2 pistol so not really to crazy
I guess it's a PKM polymer grip, which is wider than standard AK-74M grip.
I mean, regardless of the size of the gun, human hands remain the same size.
I heard that in Robbin Williams Genie voice
Your hand doesn't change whenever it is. A HMG, or a 22 LR bullet thrower.
This thing looks giant but It is actually one of the lightest 50cal MG-s, infantry can use it with bipod like you would typically use LMG-s. It is 32kg on bipod, vs 58kg for Browning M2 on tripod. Gun alone is 25.5kg, vs 38kg for M2 Browning.
There are at least two videos of a person shooting KORD from the hip. It have absolutely no practical use, but the fact that it is possible
@@user-vu9ug4vb3u same with the M2 and in fact there is a specifically made hand held version that weighs 44lbs
"questional viability" comes to mind when you think a phrase "50cal on a bipod"
@@radosaworman7628 ruclips.net/video/m7Xz0Rv-k24/видео.html
@@radosaworman7628 I guess because of my own back ground in militaria, being a military brat and all I have seen the M2HB Browning 50cal. Used on bipods alot that it doesn't seem odd to me but its used far more frequently than you think it would be especially in Ukraine in the trench war far phase
This video gave me flashbacks from disassembling NSV in the finnish army 20 odd years ago. We called the "russian machine gun disassembly tool" - mallet a "soviet push screwdriver"
FW, you need to check up on this; I'm pretty sure the term for "soviet push screwdriver" has and alternate meaning.
Yeah, good tool with the soviet vertical pitch screws. "Pystykierre"
Did the FDF use the NSV in large number or for very long?
i remember that as well, but that was nowhere near the size of this giant :D
@@fredericrike5974 is it like an alabama bird bath?
Wow! I have never seen a 2-stroke machine gun before.
Now I've got an idea for a dieselpunk monstrosity of a machine gun driven by a repurposed car engine, imagine getting thousands of RPM with a variable fire rate you control with a throttle and a gearbox
Actually now that i think of it you could just put a motor on a Gatling gun and there you go
@@anarchistangel2314 hahaha my brother in Christ gatling guns are already motorised.
@@conormcnamara2273 *sister and no, gatlings are operated by a hand crank, you're thinking of miniguns
It has the "shoulder thing that goes up"!!!
Dear god
The horror!
SOunds like the "machine that goes PING" from Monty Python.
Clearly that's the most important feature of a machine gun. Even Russians would add it.
"Percussive maintenance" is my new favourite phrase...😂
Many things do require it
its a old saying but its a good one for a reason
Must not have had a dad in your life.
The fact that a 50 cal (using a roughly equivalent round to the .50 BMG) can be fired from a bipod at all is quite a feat of engineering. Meaning that you can either use the gun with one less crew (you no longer need a soldier just to lug around the tripod) or you can haul 20-30kg more ammunition.
That it's also modular enough that the core of the gun is identical in its infantry and vehicle version is also quite useful.
Overall, the gun is also quite controllable in both bipod and tripod configuration (although when used with a bipod it's not very accurate at long ranges, 500+ m, but for urban combat it's great as it will rip through anything but reinforced concrete).

Never thought I would see a video on the KORD. It and the NSV are common weapons yet nobody has done an overview and fieldstrip like Ian.
An old beat up example but an informative video.
NSV has tilting bolt. KORD using rotating bolt. You can change the barrel without adjusting the gap, and even more so you do not need to adjust the timing, like the M2. M2 absolutly obsolete shit.
@AlASokolov The M2A1 already solved those problems. It has a quick change barrel and doesn't need any headspace adjustment. You have outdated information.
@@johncarl5505 Oh, yes, the problem has finally been fixed, less than a hundred years have passed! However, not all machine guns that are in the army have only a part, but the rest still adjust the timing and try to set the gap with a probe.
@@AlASokolov It's not tilting, it's sliding like in Sharps carbine, Ruger No. 1 or M73 machine gun

"Place des pétards" is actually a fun sticker on the wall, cheers to the Gendarmerie for having a sense of humor, basically this is in the format of a public sign for french street names, and "Place" meaning litterally "square", "des" meaning "of", but "pétard" has two meanings, originally being "firecracker," but it is an old slang for "guns".
Also the saying "Hoist by his own petard", explosive which goes off before it should.
I only know Petards from AOE the suicide bombers holding barrels.
Thanks for the detail 😂 in old slang, pétard may also means the b.. t of a young lady 😇
M-m-m, butts.
"Place des pétoires" aurait peut-être été une meilleure option, mais ça reste drôle !
You know, there may be a good reason to NOT grind away the metal surrounding the locking lugs of a fifty-caliber machine gun.
Ye, but if you need operational MG NOW, some negative consequences become less significant
I'm pretty sure some MG operator in Syria (probably from ISIS) didn't care all that much about these tiny details.
@@ShadeAKAhayatewell they usually don't care about old AK copies either
The barrels don't live long enough in combat for this to become a problem. Hence quick-release mechanism and a carry handle for the barrel specifically.
@@michaelbuckers Yeah, but if you grind away enough metal in that area, they're going to fail a lot faster, and a noticeably more catastrophic way.

@@worldoftancraftIn the question of securing the language in it's original state (which I see noble, but rather useless), I agree that borrowing words without considering the possibility of inventing your own word for it is degradatory of a language.
Like we, Russians, had the "aeroplan" as the first word for an airplane. But then, in a thrust of patriotism, we got rid of the word, replacing it with "samolyot", a word formed from genuinely Russian words.
As did the Great Dal' out of patriotic feelings come up with Russian words to replace borrowed ones, so shall every future patriot of one's people and language come up with a worthy equivalent for an unthoughtful borrowing from the past.
The language does not stand, it moves with us.
@@sergeyalaev9393
Borrowing words is hardly unique to English though, much of English is borrowed by other languages. It's mutual. I can't think of anything more respectful than being inspired.
It's said imitation is the highest form of flattery.
To borrow a word is to admit its usefulness and credit its origins duly. People may forget or never learn the etymology but they cannot use it without advertising said origin.
Where as making a new word instead still takes inspiration still borrows but doesn't explicitly betray its origins. Borrowing in function, but not in name. Uncredited....
That's just how I view it. Perhaps other native English speakers don't view other languages, especially the ones we borrow from, with respect but I do.
One of my favorite HMGs, currently doing an article on the NSV with its lateral locking bolt. Both are fun guns to shoot.

Thanks for not falling into the ridiculous anti-Russian bias Ian.
I'm not Russian or a supporter of Putin's Russia by any means. I just appreciate that someone out there still has enough of a brain to be able to complement Russia firearm design, rather than taking all of the field user's errors and presenting them as manufacturing errors to be used as political ammo to say Russians are a bunch of cavemen incapable of designing and manufacturing quality firearms.
Honesty and integrity goes a long way on this website.

Given the abundance of, and general modern leaning towards, LMG's it's really quite striking to see a proper HMG up close like this. LMG's are generally meant for support, but just by looking at this kind of beast you can tell instantly that an HMG's purpose is pure destruction.

5) Reassemble, remember that front sight is needed for accurate shoot-shoot, tack weld back on with car battery and AK cleaning rods

LMAO, the top right street sign that reads "Place des pétards" basically means "Butt plaza" and I laughed for a solid minute when i saw it ! Looks like the gendarmes have a twisted sense of humour 😂
Pétard is also just French for petard, a word we also have in English. So this could also be the plaza for explosives.
Perhaps more appropriate than you'd think. In preparation for the Olympics the French government is spending billions of Euros to clean pollution from the Seine. The President of France said he'd go swimming in it when it was finished. He's fabulously unpopular so angry French citizens are organizing a "poop in the Seine" day.
A Pétard is a light cannon.
French here: pétard has many meanings in france. Its main use is to say "fire crackers" but it also is slag term for "hand gun", "butt" (mostly of the female kind), "blunt" (of the cannabinoid variety), or "to be angry" when used as a qualifying adjective on someone.
In our case here "place des petards" should be translated "gat plaza" or something like that.

In the novel Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves, theres a French Paratrooper on loan to the DGSE, nicknames Le Barbarian, who carries one of these around like your average rifle. Hes one of the best characters in the book!
This thing looks absolutely gnarly! A bit more complex than I'm used to seeing from a Slav weapon. Quite an ingenious bit of machining that goes into this entire piece.
Pullstart like a lawnmower - betcha it cut's down grass too!
New? The "Kord" machine gun was created in the 1990s as a replacement for the NSV ("Utyos") machine gun.
If I remember the factory that made the NSV was in Kazakhstan, so the factory that would make the Kord was made in Russia
Good that you got to show this family of heavy machine guns. I got to see one in "the wild" some years ago of its predecessor... clearing it of ammunition on top of APC's.
It's beautiful
I would like to put emphasis on "New"
It's been around for quite a while
Well, it's new compared to M2 Browning or DShK. For some reason most countries don't develop new HMG's and just use old designs.
@Kasian02 no real need to, it's incredibly expensive to save only a slight amount of weight on these bigger guns
Also things like links and extra ammo in reserve makes the cost comparison go even further
This is my favorite HMG thank you for making me learn more about it cuz this gun isn't really documented
always impressive how good you know gun history!
was this particular one brought from the currect war area?
Not unless French special Forces are.....oh wait...
Just kidding...
deepest darkest A.........
As soon as the gun was show on screen I was like 'jesus christ, that fucker is HUGE'. That gun looks like it could be taller than Ian!
Is that a charging rip cord? IS THAT THING PULL STARTED?!?
While servin Serbian Army on a tank M-84, the sergeant who was explaining us the M-87 machine gun said that the belt feed to the machine gun is either left or righ, and even diffrently flipped belt would make the machine gun run. The only thing that won´t work is backward direction of the bullets. The rest of the story for the belt feed was: it will run in any way you insert it except for backward direction of bullets.
I saw the thumbnail, thought it was a usual big gun.
Saw the video and all of a sudden realised it was a BIG gun
I wonder which African country the Legion got this machine gun from?
I would guess Libya.
Elbonia

Special Forces, not the Legion.
