    DP stands for "Дегтярев пехотный"(Degtyarev Pekhotnyi) which means Degtyarev for infantry use. Not Degtyarev Pulemyot. You can see this pattern on other Degtyarev guns like DT - "Дегтярев танковый"(Degtyarev Tankoviy) for tanks or "Дегтярев Авиационный"(Degtyarev aviatsioniy) for airplanes. Not a big mistake but I think it was worth mentioning.

    As for what happened to the RP-46, one thing I could hypothesize happening was that while they most certainly got around, they could've also been kept as DP-27s feeding from the pan mags if they ever got out to other Soviet states and allies. Since the DPs and their magazines were kind of everywhere as is, all the major components are interchangeable, and the belt fed mechanism isn't permanently affixed to the gun, I can see smaller countries who already have pan mag stockpiles on hand to stick with them for a while. So there could be more RP-46s out there than we think, they're just missing the feed trays and the smaller telltale details aren't documented or specified.

    @ForgottenWeapons Ian, in case you have forgotten about your MG34 maintenance kit video (The one that fit into an ammo can). That thing also included a hammer. Which somehow is very fitting. The German MG34 maintenance includes "the soviet technique" and the RP-46 uses an unnecessarily complicated, almost German-ish, system to store is maintenance kit in the buttstock

The better test for Ian would be hand him a gun he's never seen before with no instructions and a wildly out of the norm disassembly and see if he can take it apart. At this point he's seen so many different styles from so many different cultures he's probably quite good at disassembly without a manual.

    Ok, not sure how the whole gun is as far as shooting or maintenance, but it seems absolutely nice to have the oiler, toolkit, and cleaning rod all integrated the way they did. Don't have to worry about whether you have what you need to maintain them in the field. Seems like they need a hammer as well, but I suppose you could somewhat rely on being able to find a rock or piece of wood, or maybe a buddy's rifle.

    I'm surprised that it worked as well as it did with the cartridge actually falling free into feed position. I ❤ weapons that carry a proper cleaning kit. Beats having just a bore-snake in the pistol grip.

    It's a pity the RP-46 is essentially a ghost gun. Granted, it wasn't the easiest and most pleasant gun to shoot but it lots of improvements and not to mention, as you've said the one you got your hands on thanks to Morphy's is gorgeous. It would be a fantastic collection piece for gun enthusiasts.

    Finns got around 9000 DP's as spoils of war during the winter and continuation wars, so much so that it replaced the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 because in the front lines because it was so reliable. Because the horizontal drum magazine and how it spinned during firing looked like a spinning record, so the Finnish soldiers during the wars started calling it Emma, a popular song at the time.

    22:40 Most Likely the RP-46 was being Rolled out as a Stop-Gap while R&D worked on the RPK - The fact that the RPK is a DPM with Integrated Feed Tray tells me that they Retooled their factories for mass production - rather than make a defunct product.

    From an ease of manufacture perspective, I am wondering how many employees the factory needs just to make that little all in one cleaning kit. 🙄
    Noting when we watch Anastasia on the Zenitco channel we can see a large mallet is sometimes used on their AK products and I have seen training films in which a mallet is also used to assist in starting some of their early trucks, so the mallet was obviously a very important part of USSR tech.
