Degtyarev-Pekhotny 28

The 7.62 mm Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova pakhotnyi ("Degtyarev Hand-held Infantry Machine Gun") was a paragon of simplicity and easy maintenance. Apart from a bipod which was prone to break if handled roughly, the DP-28 provided the Red Army with reliable and effective fire from its introduction in 1928 to the end of the War.
