Degtyaryov DP
After the end of World War 1. In the design office of the Kovrov factory, under the leadership of Fedorov and his student Degtyarev, experimental work was carried out on the family of 6.5 mm automatic weapons.
Within this family, several variants of light, heavy, aircraft and tank machine guns with different barrel cooling and power supply schemes were developed. However, none of the Fedorov-Degtyaryov rifles were accepted for mass production.
Degtyarev at the end of 1923 began to develop his own model of a light machine gun. He took as a basis the design of his own automatic rifle, which he proposed in 1915. Then, combining known patterns, he obtained a compact system that received a positive review from Fedorov. On July 22, 1924, Degtyarev presented the first prototype of a disk magazine machine gun that he had developed for the Fedorov-Degtyaryov joint machine gun projects.
The magazine was designed for the 6.5 mm cartridge and had a capacity of 50 rounds. At this point in the project, it was decided to change the ammunition to 7.62x54R, but having already prepared the magazine diagram, it was decided to simply modernize it. Originally, the magazine held 49 rounds. Because the spring force was not enough to power the last cartridges, its capacity was changed to 47.
Degtyarev presented the next prototype in the fall of 1926. About five thousand shots were fired from two copies and it was found that the ejector and firing pin were not strong enough, and the weapon itself was sensitive to dust. In December, two more machine guns were tested in unfavorable shooting conditions, but they were also returned for inspection. At the same time, an improved Maxim-Tokarev model was tested, as well as the German Dreyse.
Degtyarev was superior to these structures, which then aroused great interest among the leadership of the Red Army. Despite this, Degtyarev had to make a number of changes to its design. Two modified Degtyarev machine guns were tested by the commission on January 17–21, 1927, and the machine guns were found to have "passed the test". On February 20, the same Commission, without waiting for the results of the improvements, decided to issue an order for 100 machine guns.
The first batch of 10 machine guns was presented for military acceptance on November 12, 1927. The army received the entire batch of 100 machine guns on January 3, 1928. On January 11, the Revolutionary Military Council ordered the transfer of 60 machine guns for military tests. Based on the results, it was recommended to add a flame arrester. In addition, a number of other comments were submitted. In August 1928, an improved model was tested. An order was placed for 2.5 thousand. Machine guns. At the end of 1928, a decision was made to discontinue the production of MT (Maxim-Tokarev) machine guns. As a result, the Degtyarev light machine gun ended up in the Red Army. The machine gun was adopted under the designation "7.62 mm light machine gun of the Degtyaryov system, model 1927". or DP-27 (Degtyarov Pekhotnyy 1927). The Degtyarev machine gun became the first mass-produced machine gun developed in the country.
Note 1: Different sources are may designate the DP as DP-27 or as DP-28; this confusion arose because the DP was accepted by the Russian military in 1927, but production started in 1928.
Degtyaryov DP-27
The "7.62 mm light machine gun of the Degtyaryov system, model 1927". or DP-27 (Degtyarov Pekhotnyy 1927). It was adopted by the Red Army as a basic light machine gun in 1927 and used with great success until the end of World War II. In Soviet sources, this rifle was most often marked DP without a year mark.
The DP rifle was a reliable weapon and easy to produce, but it was not without its flaws. The biggest mistake turned out to be placing the return spring under the barrel (the spring surrounded the gas piston shaft). In such intensively fired weapons, this caused the spring to heat up and lose its elastic properties. Also, the durability of some parts turned out to be lower than required.
During production, the weapon was modernized and adapted to new requirements many times. The result of this work were modifications to the box magazines and the belt feeding system.
Production continued continuously from 1927 to 1944, when a modernized machine gun was presented. Which was immediately accepted into service under the designation "7.62 mm light machine gun of the modernized Degtyaryov system, model 1944.". or DPM-44 Degtyarev Pekhotnyy Modernizirovannyy 1944.

Degtyaryov DT-29
Developed together with G.S. Shpaginem in 1929, the DT-29 tank modification (Degtyarov Tankovyy model 1929) was installed in most tanks and armored vehicles. The modification was created taking into account the installation of a machine gun in the tight fighting compartment of the tank. Instead of a wooden stock, a retractable metal one was installed. The standard single-row magazine was replaced with a three-row magazine holding 63 rounds. The machine gun was mounted on a ball mount developed by G.S. Shpagin, which made it possible to easily aim the machine gun in the horizontal and vertical planes. The machine gun was also equipped with a canvas shell catcher. The DT had a removable bipod, so it was used by crews of damaged armored vehicles as a light machine gun. The DT was also popular with airborne units due to its more compact size and lighter weight.
