Fun trivia: Here in Finland the DP-27 (and its variants) is colloquially known as "Emma". 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. If you want to hear the song, you can find it here TH-cam.
I’d wager that he doesn’t own a Fedorov Atvomat… yet. There were only around three or four thousand produced and they were manufactured prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, so I would venture a guess that most saw heavy combat.
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.
I steal the plans every dam time from gunrunners. I'm all about that corporate espionage. I also take everything that isn't nailed down 10 STR or bust.
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?
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.

@@BirdRaiserERemington turned to crap a good while ago, even with the new leadership. Mossberg at least is still the same quality as the old ones. Old 870’s aren’t rare but they are more expensive than new ones on the used market for a reason
I got to meet him a couple years ago, at the time I had no idea who he was. Needless to say we started talking guns, he was obviously talking more of the Russian weaponry and I messed up and told him I was more of an AR guy😂 and the smack talk began. In his words (I had way more respect for you until you said u like AR-15s better)😂 dude is hilarious and has a awesome personality it was years later I seen him on TH-cam and remembered him from that encounter and couldn't believe that I met him and didn't know.brandon is a solid dude
Unironically my favorite combo is a VSS with a canted aight for close and medium range, and a DP28 with a 6x for long range, go prone and melt. Absolute blast.
I remember the DP-28 back from Call of Duty: Finest Hour on PS2. They had a chapter where you’d play as the Soviets for a few missions and there would occasionally be a DP-28 hidden somewhere. I remember the sewer mission has one hidden underneath an area you go prone.
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.
Guns like this hold a really neat place in Firearm history. Where it shows the progression from stripper clip bed magazines, Japan magazines, jukebox magazines. I really love looking at the history of these old guns
The gun that held the line against the Blitzkrieg. And also a comrade to the T-34, Mosin Nagant, and PPSh-41 or PPS-43. Beautiful piece of engineering and history.
@@guillainbarre1 I wouldn't call being forced to retreat 1,000 km or so holding by any stretch of the imagination. Three things saved the soviets from complete collapse, the overstretched German supply lines, Lend-Lease giving them trucks and other critical logistics support, and the fact russia is a big empty shithole with nothing in it (The soviets had to retreat about twice the width of modern Poland before the German supplies were stretched so badly they couldn't push anymore, let that sink in). They have literally always been absolutely garbage at war. They were completely KOed in WW1, the Japanese utterly mauled them in the Ruso-Japanese War, the Poles once occupied Moscow, Napoleon took Moscow, the Swedes kicked their face in, and pretty much everyone else who lined up quite handily kicked them around. They have always and will always be utterly rubbish at war.
@@demomanchaos Mind you, Napoleon made it to Moscow on horses way faster than Hitler with tanks. General Frost got a hell of an upgrade with soviet planned economy implemented almost in time.
Kamikoto is basically the same honkong based company as established titles. The knives are made in China, with the cheapest possible steel. Shad made a video about how crap these knives are about six months ago and the whole kamikoto/Established titles scam was exposed about the time this video came out
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.
Skartimus Prime yeah you should never buy anything from 90% of any TH-cam sponsors and if you don't know that you're probably an idiot. Just ignore them like they don't exist.
@@skartimus *Whats the alternative* Well if you're lucky to have one go to your local craftsman and get a knife you need as test, and if that one is good order the entire cutlery drawer of them.
@@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.
I'd like to see if you can find or your guys can put together a PP19 Bizon. Its one AK variant that you don't have. Also giving it the giggle switch will be fun as hell against your white claw penetration test.
One thing I love to see on your channel is the RPD or RK-46 because it’s using the same mechanism the flapper bolts and the history on different countries producing with minor or major changes
You should try it with an RP46 felt feed adapter. The adapter replaces the pan magazine and lets you use SG43 belts. The Russian stop-gap belt-fed LMG later replaced by the RPD.
Just wanted to note that I now have to watch ak Jesus every night due to my 16 month old daughter loving his videos so thanks Brandon for the bonding time with my daughter
Here is something that has been told again and again, but the DP-28's (or DP-27 according to others) nickname in Finnish service (captured from the Soviets) was "Emma", after some popular song of the time. This nickname was born because the magazine resembled a gramophone record spinning and "playing music" as you fired. The song in question was very well known and the name stuck to the Degtyarev like glue.
Funny part is this isn’t a DP-27/28 its a DPM an updated Version of the DP-28 like the AKM it’s featured things like a Pistol Grip the DP-28 had a Rifle like Grip etc. also the firerate was a bit increased as i know of
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.
I honestly kind of wish that video games did make the DP-27/28/M actually the same power as a Mosin Nagant, because accurate ballistic power in general would just be fun, especially in the military simulator games like Arma and it would be a nice little touch of realism
As far as I know, the only FPS to make it right was Rising Storm aka Red Orchestra 2. Back in the days of this game, the only thing scarier than local lmgs was arty barrage.
@@chaos-fox meanwhile Wimp Turd by Failjin (Dishonorable studio from Russia that deserves no respect whatsoever in the way to say the name of their studio nor their IPs).... A 5ton Bomb dropped in the middle of a contested zone, kills every Medium, Heavy and Heavily armored Tank Destroyer in a 500m radius, FAILS TO KILL the Tinfoil for armor SPAA cars and the Open top M18s in the epicenter of the explosion..... Also Wimp Turd: A 250Kg bomb has the explosive radius of a Metal Gear Solid 2 C4 block, which applies for the SturmTiger's 360-380mm (can't recall the Howitzer caliber from memory) HE artillery shell.
They'd have to do something to balance it, given how overpowered it would make you. Brandon is right that they have to make it less powerful than a Mosin. Maybe they could offer it as a kill streak reward instead of making it widely accessible. Who would pick a Mosin over a DP-27 if they had a choice?
I know, right! I was looking through comments, and I'm surprised how many I had to go through before I saw someone else call out the not-so-great decision. Also, Brandon clearly struggled to cut through that cardboard... which should be telling enough.
If you've ever played enlisted you know it doesn't shy from letting the player absolutely clean house with one of these. It will one shot if you hit upper body and can absolutely destroy a squad with proper positioning. Love that game
@@michaelostergren3516 I use all 3 factions pretty regularly. The Germans have the best MG's. The Americans have the best rifleman and assault classes. But I like the weapons choices for support and AT for the russians. I also do wayyy better with the mosin than k98 as well. I just dont enjoy using the dp27. This is all just my opinion of course.
Brandon, if I remember correctly, this machine gun design is caused by the fact that Degtyarev worked as a locksmith at the Tula Arms Factory in his youth. He designed the machine gun in such a way specifically so that the parts of the weapon could be quickly manufactured by less qualified locksmiths.
Vasílij Alêksêêvič had a tough youth years. I've read a 240 pages book-monument about his legacy. As far as I remember, his creative was done together with Vladimír Grigórjêvič Fôdorov. And that principle of breechblock design is his idea of the attempt to develop a self-loading rifle of 1916.
first time i heard of the dp-28 was from a russian badger video and to see the mechanics of it work is really awesome, one of the next ones i would love to see is the pkm or the rpd light machine gun. love the vids, keep it going brandon.
Fun fact: badger knows a lot more about guns and history than you think, and if Brandon and Badger were to collab since both of them are in the US (probably) it’s either gonna be funny or- y’know what it WILL be funny

Kind of minute detail, but as a pizza maker I couldn’t help but laugh. That super tiny plate under the comparatively large pizza is so accurate.

Thank you Brandon for this chuckle even though it’s some super specific and small thing.
Since you mentioned him I think it would be really cool to get the Russian badger and his boys down to Texas for a range day. I think it would make for some good content.
@@shmekelfreckles8157 I don't know where you got your information from, but you may want to google that again. Since the KS23 is actually a shotgun made from 23mm rifled anti aircraft cannons, not a grenade launcher.
Can you do a video on any the flapper lock up was dropped and no longer used? It seems like it would be a cheap and very easy lock up to manufacturer as long as you're machines can make the receiver with fairly tight tolerances, seems in my opinion easier to bulk up and design than more modern bolt lock ups. Hell if you hadn't already designed your AK-50 lock up it certainly could have used that lock up most likely. Anyhow I'd love to learn about it!
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.
Brandon you have one of the best gun channels on TH-cam! It's a just the right amount of serious and nerdy gun talk, with a bit of goofiness on the side 👍
If you can't kill it with 47rds, they made a feedtray that replaces the pan mag to feed the same belts that the PKM uses. It was called the RP-46. They used the same locking ear design on the RPD and DShK-46.
@@jeredhersh789 I have 3 that I brought home from Afghanistan and put on DPMs. And with my SOT they are all post-86 guns. The feed mechanism is worth more than the postie.
@@jamiebunten8195 lucky, I've been trying to get my hands on one for years. SMG Guns used to make reproductions, but they discontinued them a while back so I'm basically SOL haha
You should get your hands on a Federov Avtomat if you can, somehow. I don't know of anyone on youtube who has video of it being shot, and only Ian has any video of the inside guts of the rifle. Would be really cool to see one in action on the range. I'm sure it goes without saying, and that you've been trying, but I thought I'd put the good word in since you keep asking what other cool guns we want to see.
I noticed that you have a Polish-made DPM. DPM is a DP-27 with pistol grip added to it, and new recoil spring housing. Pretty good rifle, still a mag is a big problem for it. In fact it was ordered to load 47 rounds into it so it won't jam as frequent as with 50 rounds.
He actually has a PTRS finding ammo for it is proving difficult, and he's sorta scared to put rounds through it because the PTRS basically has a short lifespan due to how rushed it was at the time of development. They found that around 1000 rounds of ammo fired (if I'm remembering correctly) the gun could just explode.
I didn’t know he had one or that it has such a short life span damn that sucks and yeah I bet it’s insanely hard to find 14.5x114mm especially a good quality source.
The "P" in the name is not "pulyemyot", it is "pekhotnyj" (пехотный) meaning "for infantry". There was also DT ("Tankovyj" - "for tanks") and DA ("Aviatsyonny" - "for aircraft"). Nazdorovye, tovarisch.
I remember I saw Brandon’s video on the double stack Makarov and the Saiga Shotgun where he pretty much said “I’m starting to show my personal collection”. Oh dear, how far we have come #AKGNotificationSquad
It was my dream to see Brandon fire this beautiful weapon and it's finally come true! It's one of my favorite Soviet weapons and someday I wanna fire one just like you. Thank you for this video Brandon, enjoy eating off that plate.
They also had a DT 27 ( Deg.Tankovy) and a DA 27 ( Deg. Aviatzionniy) The DP ( Deg. PECHOTNY ( Infantry) The Infantry Pan was single layer ammo; The DT and DA had higher capacity multiple layer spiral Mags ( like a Bren 100 or a Japanese T92 Lewis 96 rd. MAG. THE Deg. Magazines are all developments of the Vickers K model Gun Magazines ( aka " G.O."...gas operated aircraft gun). Shows have related many different guns are. DocAV
I love that gun! I would like to see how you modify it, to make it better suited to shooting while aiming from a standing position, adding a proper front grip, some weight reduction, shortening the barrel? Sounds like an interesting project for your collection Brandon... unless you can't do it ;P
bought one for a reenactment motorcycle, it came ATF cut into 3 pieces, i just wanted a static display so i just welded it up looks great and gets a lot of attention. there several youtubers that build jigs and make functional guns. great project for interested people.
Hey Brandon weird question when the DShK is finished will it still shoot the 12.7x108mm or will it be rechambered for another caliber? I only ask because I have no idea how widely available the ammo is in the US On a related note great video!

At least on film.
@@Randyluck1 bro 💀💀💀💀
*Vintage.
giggity
Just like with the VSS, PUBG made me fall in love with the DP-28
PUBG!!!! fight me bro I'm better than you!!!
Unironically my favorite combo is a VSS with a canted aight for close and medium range, and a DP28 with a 6x for long range, go prone and melt. Absolute blast.
Don’t forget to dial that 6x back lol
COD World at War introduced me to the DP-28. But back then me and my buddies just called it the Trash Can Lid gun
I remember the DP-28 back from Call of Duty: Finest Hour on PS2. They had a chapter where you’d play as the Soviets for a few missions and there would occasionally be a DP-28 hidden somewhere. I remember the sewer mission has one hidden underneath an area you go prone.
I met Brandon in person the same day he filmed this video, super down to earth guy and just as cool as we think he is!
Thanks, Brandon's secret second account!
Gay.
Okayyyyyyyy, "not Brandon"
Lead poisoning at 0:30
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.
The dig at California killed me. Also, I applaud your choice in the Russian Badger
soviet technology was so advanced it was flexing on california 70-90 years in advance
I wonder if they'll ever try to get Badger on Unsubscribe
Never expected badger to appear in a Brandon Herrera video. Though now that I think about it, it’s quite fitting.
They’re both aware of each other
Guns like this hold a really neat place in Firearm history. Where it shows the progression from stripper clip bed magazines, Japan magazines, jukebox magazines. I really love looking at the history of these old guns
I'd like to see you do the BAR right behind this if at all possible
Was not expecting a Russian badger clip. 10/10 video

By "held the line" you mean was pushed back from the mid point of Poland to the gates of moscow in a matter of months right?
@@demomanchaos I don´t remember of pictures of that litlle man with a strange moustache in front of Kremlin so, yeah, could call it a held.
@@guillainbarre1 I wouldn't call being forced to retreat 1,000 km or so holding by any stretch of the imagination. Three things saved the soviets from complete collapse, the overstretched German supply lines, Lend-Lease giving them trucks and other critical logistics support, and the fact russia is a big empty shithole with nothing in it (The soviets had to retreat about twice the width of modern Poland before the German supplies were stretched so badly they couldn't push anymore, let that sink in).
They have literally always been absolutely garbage at war. They were completely KOed in WW1, the Japanese utterly mauled them in the Ruso-Japanese War, the Poles once occupied Moscow, Napoleon took Moscow, the Swedes kicked their face in, and pretty much everyone else who lined up quite handily kicked them around. They have always and will always be utterly rubbish at war.
@@demomanchaos Mind you, Napoleon made it to Moscow on horses way faster than Hitler with tanks. General Frost got a hell of an upgrade with soviet planned economy implemented almost in time.
Kamikoto is basically the same honkong based company as established titles. The knives are made in China, with the cheapest possible steel.
Shad made a video about how crap these knives are about six months ago and the whole kamikoto/Established titles scam was exposed about the time this video came out
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.
Skartimus Prime yeah you should never buy anything from 90% of any TH-cam sponsors and if you don't know that you're probably an idiot. Just ignore them like they don't exist.
@@skartimus *Whats the alternative*
Well if you're lucky to have one go to your local craftsman and get a knife you need as test, and if that one is good order the entire cutlery drawer of them.
@@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.

I'd like to see if you can find or your guys can put together a PP19 Bizon. Its one AK variant that you don't have. Also giving it the giggle switch will be fun as hell against your white claw penetration test.
Through your generosity, this starving light machine gun can enjoy a hot plate of 7.62 this holiday season. Bless you Brandon.
One thing I love to see on your channel is the RPD or RK-46 because it’s using the same mechanism the flapper bolts and the history on different countries producing with minor or major changes
With all those flappers, we might just as well call it the proletariats penguin!
You should try it with an RP46 felt feed adapter. The adapter replaces the pan magazine and lets you use SG43 belts. The Russian stop-gap belt-fed LMG later replaced by the RPD.
The lore behind this weapon is cool, they used dinner plate magazines because the plates weren’t being used for much else
They should make Brandon an operator in the next Black Ops. He really fits the 1970s cold war agent look

Here is something that has been told again and again, but the DP-28's (or DP-27 according to others) nickname in Finnish service (captured from the Soviets) was "Emma", after some popular song of the time. This nickname was born because the magazine resembled a gramophone record spinning and "playing music" as you fired. The song in question was very well known and the name stuck to the Degtyarev like glue.
Funny part is this isn’t a DP-27/28 its a DPM an updated Version of the DP-28 like the AKM it’s featured things like a Pistol Grip the DP-28 had a Rifle like Grip etc. also the firerate was a bit increased as i know of
When the Finns know Soviet weapons better than the Soviets do, because they captured so many of them (and weren't untrained conscripts).
We 10000000000000000000000000% need a Herrera/Badger collab video. You know he'd be down for it.
Brandon's sarcasm brightens my day every day.
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.
Dêgtârôv was the pioneer of unification of firearms: DP, DT, DA. Dêgtârôv pêhotnyj/tankovyj/aviacionnyj.
I honestly kind of wish that video games did make the DP-27/28/M actually the same power as a Mosin Nagant, because accurate ballistic power in general would just be fun, especially in the military simulator games like Arma and it would be a nice little touch of realism
Insurgency sandstorm tries it’s best. Sadly no dp-28 but the pkm fires 54r about as hard as a mosin
As far as I know, the only FPS to make it right was Rising Storm aka Red Orchestra 2. Back in the days of this game, the only thing scarier than local lmgs was arty barrage.
@@chaos-fox meanwhile Wimp Turd by Failjin (Dishonorable studio from Russia that deserves no respect whatsoever in the way to say the name of their studio nor their IPs)....
A 5ton Bomb dropped in the middle of a contested zone, kills every Medium, Heavy and Heavily armored Tank Destroyer in a 500m radius, FAILS TO KILL the Tinfoil for armor SPAA cars and the Open top M18s in the epicenter of the explosion.....
Also Wimp Turd: A 250Kg bomb has the explosive radius of a Metal Gear Solid 2 C4 block, which applies for the SturmTiger's 360-380mm (can't recall the Howitzer caliber from memory) HE artillery shell.
Then realistic reload time too!
They'd have to do something to balance it, given how overpowered it would make you. Brandon is right that they have to make it less powerful than a Mosin. Maybe they could offer it as a kill streak reward instead of making it widely accessible. Who would pick a Mosin over a DP-27 if they had a choice?
I'm surprised kamikoto has the gall to sponsor people after Shad's massive exposè
I know, right! I was looking through comments, and I'm surprised how many I had to go through before I saw someone else call out the not-so-great decision. Also, Brandon clearly struggled to cut through that cardboard... which should be telling enough.
If you've ever played enlisted you know it doesn't shy from letting the player absolutely clean house with one of these. It will one shot if you hit upper body and can absolutely destroy a squad with proper positioning. Love that game

@@michaelostergren3516 I use all 3 factions pretty regularly. The Germans have the best MG's. The Americans have the best rifleman and assault classes. But I like the weapons choices for support and AT for the russians. I also do wayyy better with the mosin than k98 as well. I just dont enjoy using the dp27.
This is all just my opinion of course.
1:56 the gun was adopted (sort of) in 1927, production began in 1928, hence the different nomenclatures.
Brandon, if I remember correctly, this machine gun design is caused by the fact that Degtyarev worked as a locksmith at the Tula Arms Factory in his youth.
He designed the machine gun in such a way specifically so that the parts of the weapon could be quickly manufactured by less qualified locksmiths.
Vasílij Alêksêêvič had a tough youth years. I've read a 240 pages book-monument about his legacy. As far as I remember, his creative was done together with Vladimír Grigórjêvič Fôdorov. And that principle of breechblock design is his idea of the attempt to develop a self-loading rifle of 1916.
first time i heard of the dp-28 was from a russian badger video and to see the mechanics of it work is really awesome, one of the next ones i would love to see is the pkm or the rpd light machine gun. love the vids, keep it going brandon.
How about a PKM? Or perhaps a video explaining the SVD vs the PSL and may be even the Yugo M76 rifles.
I don't know when I'd ever use it, but I love the quote of "Light machine gun. Because heavy machine guns need a truck."
The russian badger bit definitely made me smile
Fun fact: badger knows a lot more about guns and history than you think, and if Brandon and Badger were to collab since both of them are in the US (probably) it’s either gonna be funny or- y’know what it WILL be funny
So hear me out.
Badger and Brandon hit up Taran so Badger can get his irl pistol skills on par with his Siege gameplay

I love to see you get a Swiss LMG25 or a SIG KE-7. That would be incredible

Can you do a video on any the flapper lock up was dropped and no longer used? It seems like it would be a cheap and very easy lock up to manufacturer as long as you're machines can make the receiver with fairly tight tolerances, seems in my opinion easier to bulk up and design than more modern bolt lock ups. Hell if you hadn't already designed your AK-50 lock up it certainly could have used that lock up most likely.
Anyhow I'd love to learn about it!
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.
Watching Brandon starting at 6:50 on .5x speed is like watching your drunk uncle talk about things he knows nothing about.

No shit
I feel like this needs an obligatory "okay so just hear me out"
Brandon you have one of the best gun channels on TH-cam! It's a just the right amount of serious and nerdy gun talk, with a bit of goofiness on the side 👍
If you can't kill it with 47rds, they made a feedtray that replaces the pan mag to feed the same belts that the PKM uses. It was called the RP-46.
They used the same locking ear design on the RPD and DShK-46.
Good luck finding one, though.

I noticed that you have a Polish-made DPM.
DPM is a DP-27 with pistol grip added to it, and new recoil spring housing.
Pretty good rifle, still a mag is a big problem for it. In fact it was ordered to load 47 rounds into it so it won't jam as frequent as with 50 rounds.
I’d love to see a PTRS-41 video and I love the DP-28 looks badass.
He actually has a PTRS finding ammo for it is proving difficult, and he's sorta scared to put rounds through it because the PTRS basically has a short lifespan due to how rushed it was at the time of development. They found that around 1000 rounds of ammo fired (if I'm remembering correctly) the gun could just explode.
I didn’t know he had one or that it has such a short life span damn that sucks and yeah I bet it’s insanely hard to find 14.5x114mm especially a good quality source.
@EconomX look back at the robocop .50 cal video he points it out just. On the floor.
The "P" in the name is not "pulyemyot", it is "pekhotnyj" (пехотный) meaning "for infantry". There was also DT ("Tankovyj" - "for tanks") and DA ("Aviatsyonny" - "for aircraft"). Nazdorovye, tovarisch.

That's pretty bad ass! I appreciate you doing the deep dive on the mechanics, it's really interesting.
They also had a DT 27 ( Deg.Tankovy)
and a DA 27 ( Deg. Aviatzionniy)
The DP ( Deg. PECHOTNY ( Infantry)
The Infantry Pan was single layer ammo;
The DT and DA had higher capacity multiple layer spiral Mags ( like a Bren 100 or a Japanese T92 Lewis 96 rd. MAG.
THE Deg. Magazines are all developments of the Vickers K model Gun Magazines ( aka " G.O."...gas operated aircraft gun).

The Russians have such thoughtful designers to include a pizza dish on their machine gun. Pizza is very handy to stay alive in freezing winters.

Hey Brandon weird question when the DShK is finished will it still shoot the 12.7x108mm or will it be rechambered for another caliber? I only ask because I have no idea how widely available the ammo is in the US
On a related note great video!
