It's a very accurate HMG even in infantry use, like a sniper. Punches through most IFVs. Very simple, modular and easy to use HMG.

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).

Kord is actually VERY light, for 12.7mm/.50cal machinegun, as one of the design requirements was to make it usable on the move by a single person, rather than crew or a pair of soldiers like most other support guns.
This is a Monster of a MG! I remember when Larry Vickers went to Russia to visit the AK plant and a shooting range! They let him shoot whatever he wanted on the test range inside the plant, but they also prepared the Kord and other guns for him to shoot on a shooting range! Impressive!
The stories that gun could tell...are obvious; 1) Jam un-matched, poorly fitted barrel 1/3 the way into receiver, gets stuck 2) Grab hammer, begin bashing on front sight to remove barrel, sight breaks off 3) Continue bashing on muzzle brake, borking up the rear most chambers, barrel releases 4) Grab angle grinder, take out frustration on outside diameter of barrel extension 5) Reassemble, remember that front sight is needed for accurate shoot-shoot, tack weld back on with car battery and AK cleaning rods
Something tells me the armourer probably didn't want to go through the paperwork to get the parts to actually fix the sight and just went "sergei, pass me the solder"
Russian smekalka at its finest. For those who don't know this is a desirable trait in russian society that is somewhat similar to DIY but particularly focused on repurposing and making do with limited resources to create something that works.
Mr. Ian may you do a review of the Russian RSh-12 revolver? This revolver is fire the 12.7x55mm STs-130 full rifle cartridge. It have more velocity than the .500 S&W Magnum.
I'd love for him to have a look at the whole 12.7x55mm family of weapons, also including the VKS Vykhop since that also shares a similar cartridge size
Russian guns are unfortunately generally hard to come by for him, not just because of current circumstances making travel to proper Russian museums impractical; most of the ones he's covered are European captures or American bring-backs/imports, even this one is out of a French collection.
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.
Ah, good ol' Rites of Percussive Maintenance, always reliable and satisfying. Also Holy Shit, this gun has the achievement for being one of the most complicated gun seen on this channel AND having a few parts being so low-tech, seemingly at random.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Looks like it was built by Soviet heavy truck engineers! That said their 12.7mm and the US .50 cal BMG are both no fooling rounds- the "fitting" of that replacement barrel should bother any operator.

Awesome episode- Ian, you are more and more able to open doors and see and talk ! Thank you for bringing it to us!
When I saw this in Squad (one of my favourite videogames) I wondered why the RUGF had 2 models of HMGs. I remember understanding why they'd have ditched the DsHK for the NSV but I never understood why the Kord existed. I would have absolutely never guessed the answer was "geopolitical mess caused by the Soviet Union collapsing", I always assumed something was wrong with the NSV.
I woke up this morning and there wasnt a new gun video....😢 Part of how i start my day is laying in bed, having a smoke, and watching the latest episode 😆
Good video.. You forgot gas exhaust port .. If very used gun you can in the field hit it tool larger .. Nice to know barrels maybe not fit other guns.. i like you show mechanic.
From all the guns I have used, I miss most the NSV and PKM. Nothing was nicer than run in the forrest with those things and get in the position and shoot targets. I don't miss really the weight of the NSV that you needed to carry in quick reposition in the gun + swing combination. IIRC it was about 35 kg, where 25 kg for the gun and swing was 10 kg extra. And someone else got to carry tripod and other ammunition. If it was quick and short distance move, like from cover to firing position (< 20-30 meters), then each guy picked tripod leg and carried whole gun on their shoulders. It took from me 2½ minutes alone to setup from the four transportation boxes (gun + extra barrel, swing and tools, tripod with extras and fourth was for ammunition and holographic sight). For a team it is 3 minutes requirement to be firing ready. Firing that thing is fun, and on high tripod position you have so nice way to shoot accurately that it is scary. I always miss that I never get to try the Kord, but I thank not...
I have seen modern guns, ancient guns, weird guns, old guns, new guns, clockwork guns and even some that look like steampunk guns... But this... this thing *screams* Diesel Punk.
A previous commentor looked at WikiP and it came in ~25% lighter, but your mountings may vary😊. BTW, that bipod setup looks really well thought out for pre-CAD/CAM investment casting era design! However I would put a sandbag between my shoulder and that buttstock before pulling the trigger, ya never know!
Weight allows it to be carried on soldiers back in a disassembled condition. I.e. you can take it to the mountains. Which is exactly the thing you can only desire if you have M2
Love the little signe at the start, you can traslate by "dutchies place"🤣 I'm French and never knew Gendarmerarie have this level of humor. Thanks for your videos👍
Better ballistics than the M2 Browning, as well as lighter, more reliable, and has a better rate of fire and feed mechanism with the better barrel change. Jeeeeez "Ma Deuce" your outclassed in every way

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.

This is a Monster of a MG!
I remember when Larry Vickers went to Russia to visit the AK plant and a shooting range! They let him shoot whatever he wanted on the test range inside the plant, but they also prepared the Kord and other guns for him to shoot on a shooting range!
Impressive!
The stories that gun could tell...are obvious;
1) Jam un-matched, poorly fitted barrel 1/3 the way into receiver, gets stuck
2) Grab hammer, begin bashing on front sight to remove barrel, sight breaks off
3) Continue bashing on muzzle brake, borking up the rear most chambers, barrel releases
4) Grab angle grinder, take out frustration on outside diameter of barrel extension
5) Reassemble, remember that front sight is needed for accurate shoot-shoot, tack weld back on with car battery and AK cleaning rods
This made me laugh harder than is should have 🤣🤣

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.

When I saw this in Squad (one of my favourite videogames) I wondered why the RUGF had 2 models of HMGs. I remember understanding why they'd have ditched the DsHK for the NSV but I never understood why the Kord existed.

Part of how i start my day is laying in bed, having a smoke, and watching the latest episode 😆
Good video.. You forgot gas exhaust port .. If very used gun you can in the field hit it tool larger .. Nice to know barrels maybe not fit other guns.. i like you show mechanic.
From all the guns I have used, I miss most the NSV and PKM. Nothing was nicer than run in the forrest with those things and get in the position and shoot targets. I don't miss really the weight of the NSV that you needed to carry in quick reposition in the gun + swing combination. IIRC it was about 35 kg, where 25 kg for the gun and swing was 10 kg extra. And someone else got to carry tripod and other ammunition. If it was quick and short distance move, like from cover to firing position (< 20-30 meters), then each guy picked tripod leg and carried whole gun on their shoulders.
It took from me 2½ minutes alone to setup from the four transportation boxes (gun + extra barrel, swing and tools, tripod with extras and fourth was for ammunition and holographic sight). For a team it is 3 minutes requirement to be firing ready.
Firing that thing is fun, and on high tripod position you have so nice way to shoot accurately that it is scary.
I always miss that I never get to try the Kord, but I thank not...
I have seen modern guns, ancient guns, weird guns, old guns, new guns, clockwork guns and even some that look like steampunk guns... But this... this thing *screams* Diesel Punk.
Check out Ian's video on the original DShK, with the revolver feed system. It makes the Kord look like the epitome to high-tech in comparison.

No opinion of reliability vs the M2, but there is a lot to like about it, IMO.

BTW, that bipod setup looks really well thought out for pre-CAD/CAM investment casting era design!
However I would put a sandbag between my shoulder and that buttstock before pulling the trigger, ya never know!
Weight allows it to be carried on soldiers back in a disassembled condition. I.e. you can take it to the mountains. Which is exactly the thing you can only desire if you have M2
