The Degtyaryov machine gun or DP-27/DP-28 is a light machine gun (LMG) that was primarily used by the Soviet Union, with service trials starting in 1927, followed by general deployment in 1928.
Besides being the standard Soviet infantry light machine gun during WW2, with various modifications it was used in aircraft as a flexible defensive weapon, and it equipped almost all Soviet Tanks in WW2 as either a flexible bow machine gun or a co-axial machine gun controlled by the gunner.
While heavier than a rifle, a single Red Army soldier could still carry and operate it—much like the Bren or the US Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). Weight-wise, at roughly 20 pounds unloaded/25 pounds loaded, it was a bit heavier than the BAR but around the same as the Bren. But unlike those other weapons a soldier needed to be prone or have the bipod supported on a flat service if the shooter hoped to have any accuracy at all.Product Code: 3QcUViB
