Design

The DP-28 was an improvement of the earlier DP-26, both designed by Vasily Degtyaryov. The DP-28 was relatively cheap and easy to manufacture - early models had fewer than 80 parts. The DP was very resistant to dirt. During the tests it was buried in sand and mud, being able to shoot 500 more bullets. The main disadvantage of the DP was its bipod; it does not resist a job coarse and broke easily.[citation needed] in Addition to your charger, a tray circular closed 47 cartridges inserted on the drawer mechanisms was relatively small and could not shoot continuously for a long time, as in the machine guns fed by tape contemporary. Due to the design of the charger, recharging took a long time. However, the low firing rate of the DP reduced the overheating of the barrel.

History

The DP had a reputation of being an effective weapon of support. It was nicknamed the "record player" (proigryvatel') by the soldiers of the Red Army, due to that their charger tray look like a vinyl record and its top cover revolved when he was firing the machine gun. The DP captured by the Finnish Army in the Winter War and the War of Continuation, replaced part of the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 and were dubbed "Emma", from the title of a waltz popular. In the summer of 1944, the Finnish Army had some 3,400 Lahti-Saloranta and 9,000 Degtyarov captured in the first line.

The chinese nationalists received 5.600 machine guns DP of the Soviet Union, empléandolas in the Second sino-japanese war and the Chinese Civil War. The chinese communists used the DP in the Korean War and copied the DPM as the Type 53.

We have seen a number of copies of the variant RP-46 in Somalia, being employed by the militant forces, as well as between the rebel forces libyan that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
