The reason for both names existing is that in the Soviet Union, weapons were named for the year they were tested, not adopted. In the west, weapons are frequently named for when they enter wide service. In this case, the DP was tested in 1927 and entered widespread service in 1928, hence the two names
This may not be always the case like in example of ppsh41, it was actually tested in 1940 and it’s very early low number production that went to the units was produced already by the end of 1940 (those guns differ slightly from later mass produced smgs, like they have an adjustable sight similar to ppd’s that actually goes to like 400m or even more i belive and some other minor changes). Gun was supposed to be called Ppsh40 but due to already existing Ppd40 it was decided to change the name to 41 in order to not spread any unnecessary confusion.
Same goes with AK-47 as it was put into wide service in 1948. In contrast to that, MG-42 saw field testing in 1941, but was actually put into wide service in 1942.
Naming rights belongs to whoever actually creates the gun. The western name is a pointless imposition. Imagine articles and videos insisting the AK-47 should actually be called AK-49?? Insanity.
One other point you missed, The DP-27 is still in use to this day, it has been spotted several times in Ukraine, typically used by sentries in trenches.
In Finland the Degtyaryov is better known by the nickname "Emma". The nickname origins a 30's hit song and the record-like drum. Corporal Mauno Koivisto (President of Finland 1982-1994) used "Emma" during the WW2. The weapon in question has an interesting history. It was hidden in the forrest in case the Soviets occupies Finland. The weapons cache was dismantled in 1991 when the Soviet Union ceased to exist. most of the equipment was destroyed, but the sitting president's weapon was put into a museum.
@@dragonstormdipro1013 Maybe we Finns are just renewing the weapons caches? That cache was in the ground for 47 years. The weapons were still in working condition but hopelessly outdated.
Finland keeps such good track of its guns, they have all the serial numbers of Simo's rifles, and a few are still missing to this day with a bounty by the finish government on their discovery.
The DP-27 was also mounted on Lend Lease British Universal Carriers in Soviet Service too, as soon as the donated Bren Gun(s) ran out of .303 British ammo that is.
It was also fitted to several of China's Panzer I tanks. The Chinese Republic had imported a small number of Panzer Is but found their firepower to be a bit lacking, the primary weapon was twin MG-13 machine guns which each fed from 25 round boxes, suffice to say the DP/DT's pan magazines were a significant upgrade in capacity.
If memory serves, the Soviets made a belt feed conversion kit for the DP-28 as a developmental step to the RP-46. Ian of Forgotten Weapons has a video on it, if you're interested.
It's also worth noting that the pan magazine wasn't really made from the best quality metal. It was prone to becoming dented if dropped or handled too roughly.

I once saw a Finnish surplus dealer describe a DP by saying "it's impressive just how bad they managed to make the ergonomics." The RP-46 variation was a clever little upgrade as the belt feed mechanism just slots in to the normal magazine well, meaning the conversion can easily be applied or reversed on any DP.

A key point of squad-level machine guns and infantry rifles sharing the same ammunition, as with the Mosin-Nagant and the DP-27, is not just logistics. In combat, if the machine gunner runs out of ammunition, his squadmates can help top off his weapon, and if a rifleman needs ammo, the gunner can dole out ammunition so the rifleman can stay in the fight. FN Herstal went a step further and designed the Minimi (the M249 in US service) to accept magazines in addition to traditional belts to minimize downtime if riflemen ran out of magazines or if gunners ran out of belts. Instead of pulling cartridges from a belt to slap into a magazine, or pulling cartridges from a magazine to load into a belt, the gunner and riflemen could theoretically share the same pool. However, gunners have had issues when using mags in 249s instead of belts.
Great video, Johnny. The DP-27/28 doesn't get attention like it should in movies. Glad to see newer movies actually having the DP-27 shown more commonly. I have to checkout some of those movies you listed here. Cheers!
Libaration is quite a intresting movie. Full version is like 7 hours long, and few other films match it in just sheer scale of depicted events - scens for battle of Kursk alone use like 300 tanks. Yes, it's propagandish, but well, it was made in Soviet union in 70's, that's kind of expected.

@@ThommyofThenn It was classifed as combination gun because the gun have two type of barrel - Rifle and smoothbore. Also, full name of Luftwaffe shotgun is M30 Luftwaffe Drilling ("Drilling" meaning "triplet") so double barrel shotgun is not accuracy term for it
I seen DP (such as DP-27, DP-28, and DPM) machine gun in ongoing wars such as Russo-Ukraine War and Syrian Civil War. Also in end of World War II during in Cold War-era such as Korean War where North Korea, China, and Soviet (including Russia) were carrying DP-27/DP-28/DPM and later, North Vietnam faction including Viet Cong were also used DP-27/DP-28/DPM during in Vietnam War.
Anyone know where I can find a place to watch/buy Counterstrike 1985? Seeing all those ISU152s alone makes me want to see some authentic WW2 soviet vehicles on film like that you seldom see outside Soviet movies.
I want to point out the RP-46 in that cod clip is the wrong mode bc the RP-46 used a DPM with its extended pistol while the on in the clip was a normal DP-27
Weird place to see a DP-27 , was in Peaky Blinders in one episode Arthur shelby uses one in a Rampage against an unknown number of enemies ending with a Very IMPORTANT statement "You Do Not F#@* With The Peaky Blinders! "
Haha конечно подарки 🎁 that was a great joke not sure if you intended it. So, as you were saying the soviets used belt feds as shown in films. The russian phrased "of course presents" as he handed him grenades too
During the Winter War, Finnish troops were equipped with the highly accurate LS-26. Designed by Aimo Lahti, the undisputed weapons genius of Finland, it was unreliable and finicky on the field. One of Lahti's few failures in his career. Troops happily switched to captured DP-28s, which were reliable, rugged and much more suitable for the harsh conditions in Finland. Of course, as Finnish troops were equipped with the highly reliable and effective Suomi KP/-31 submachine guns, also designed by Lahti, they had no problems getting DP-28s. 😈
It wasn't that it actually had problems itself in the field. It was that the buffer assembly was meant to stay together & never be cleaned in the field. If a soldier did that, due to tight tolerances it was extremely easy to get a speck of dirt in & shut the gun down. I believe there were also problems with storage grease. One further issue I think was one similar to other guns (the U.S. Marine Reising submachine gun for instance). Handfitted parts. Go swapping stuff out with other guns (for instance communal cleaning), and it will stop running.
@@gratefulguy4130 Yes! I also believe (according to Forgotten Weapons) that another issue was that Lahti was forced to use a recoil based system, rather than the gas based system he wanted to use. The Finnish military were skeptical about the long term reliability of a gas tap in the barrel. 🙄
550 rounds a minute, however it could only hold 47 rounds which means the gun is only good for about five seconds and then you have to reload?? Sounds pretty useless to me, especially since you pointed out carrying the ammunition was complicated.
If you have never fought and do not know how to maintain the machine gun from which you shoot and how to do it correctly, then of course it is useless for you. Because I'll surprise you, but the rate of fire is far from what a machine gun always needs.
