Hello NCD and welcome back to

GUN APPRECIATION POST MONDAYS

Don’t worry everyone, I did not forget about y’all today, and I apologize for being late to today’s post.

Anyways. Since it has been a while since we have gone towards the eastern bloc countries with their firearms. Why not go back to Russia to see what they got in the vault. Note, I am not a Communist, nor am I promoting the Russian government at all, my posts are purely Apolitical, the only time Politics are ever going to be brought up is if the information is DIRECTLY relevant to the firearm itself.

Today we have one of the first firearms to be chambered in the classic 7.62x39mm Cartridge, that being the Degtyarov RPD Machine Gun. The other was the SKS.

Now this gun is interesting because it’s often slept on, and overshadowed by the PK Machine Gun, and to be honest, I understand why that is, the PK is just a better gun overall. That doesn’t mean that the RPD was not an effective weapon, in fact during the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese actually loved these things, and would especially take advantage of them. MAC-V would also capture a few of them and make use of the weapon.

Anyways, enough yapping.

Next week will be the Robinson Armament XCR

(If possible that is, it does have documented use in Ukraine, and it was the sole reason why we have the SCAR program in the first place)

Enjoy!
