  • I've always wondered about the shape of the handguard. Is it meant for thumb over bore shooting if you're in a standing position? I know that might obstruct the front sight if you have larger hands, but I'm still curious.

  • GOD just gotta love it. Man too bad Americans got whupped by it in Vietnam

  • MY ARME BY MW3 :)

  • Reminds me of a cross between an MG-34 and a Kalashnikov rifle.

  • machine gun madness

  • that not RPD it Chinese copy

  • @WanganTune3DXPluDeaf Our "Chinese" version is pretty much a RPD moron. christ we just manufacture it with our needs.

  • Pointless without the bipod and in the prone

  • @neo2264 not entirely pointless, engaging targets within 200m with the proper stance can be effective.

  • I'm watching guns on this here YouTube, and so far that's the best.

  • I bet if it weren't for call of duty, 1 third of these views wouldn't come from dumb little kids who think they know everything about guns.

  • Get 'er dun, right? Get 'er dun...

  • Is it like a squad automatic weapon?

  • the RPD is very old, even older than Ak47, since it was developed from 1944! many people in Russia regret repalcing the RDP with the powerful PKM, simply because the RPD was so reliable.

  • @wizzzer1337 The PKM is better in the LMG role however. The RPD does not have a quick-change barrel, which makes sustained fire problematic, so technically the PKM is more reliable.

  • Chuck norris ak47?

  • But will it blend

  • Its an AK47, but in the form of LMG.

  • @ChernobylCorp it shoots the same rounds, but has a totally different receiver, gas tube comes in under the barrel...which is also a completely different design. So you are wrong.

  • @ChernobylCorp no. the pkm is the ak lmg thing. the rpd is manufactured by a different manufacturer. (btw i like your username)

  • i fuck ppl up with this on mw2

  • RPD shoots 7.62X39 same as the AK47 and AKM. It would be in the same category as the US M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. The belt box is to reduce the strain of the weight of the ammo because the round doesn't have adequate power to cycle the action when under stress and the weight of the ammo/links can cause failure. If your rolling with soviet weaponry, PKM is the man! loud, reliable, lightweight and the full power cartridge is an awesome weapon.

  • The RPD is beautiful, resilient and powerful. All the things you could ask for in a LMG.

  • how heavy?

  • That gun's good example about SMART soviet engineering.

    Bad examples are, well nuclear powerplants like Tsernobyl.

  • The RPD is actually pretty diffrent from an AK. It's a modern variant of the degtyarov MGs (the ones with the weird disc shaped mags on top). RPD stands for 'ruchnoi pulemyot degtyarova' (degtyarov LMG). RPD and RPK have nothing really in common design wise, and if you look carefully don't even look that similar

  • @quimsolls1 true, nice to see a well researched commentary on the web

  • @quimsolls1 not a variant

  • @quimsolls1 u mean its a drum magazine :P

    anyway when i was like... idk 11? i thought the rpd was the tommy gun xD

    but its a complete different weapon, the thompson is faster but fits 50 bullets (if u put the drummag ofcourse) and its an smg

  • @quimsolls1 in russian rpd stands for general perpose machine gun

  • where's the grip??..lol...this guy needs one...

  • Dude is weak he cant control the recoil hehe

  • @DCPDEREK

    umm i dont think thats cause hes weak. Probably has something to do with the fact that hes shooting 7.62x39 on full auto.

  • @Relyt345 Has more to do with improper stance

  • @DCPDEREK it is light machine gun tho..

  • @futurerev21 51mm? r u fucking kidding me? do u kno how big a 51mm bullet would be? haha no its a 7.62 which is the standard bullet size for AK variants (47, 74, and the RPD, i believe in the Scar Heavy and i think it can be used in the ACR Bushmaster) just like the 5.56 round is used in the M4, M16, AR15, SAW, Scar Light and so forth.

  • what bullet does this shoot?

  • @futurerev21 7.62x39mm

  • @13thmistral lol. isnt it 51mm?

  • @futurerev21 lol, no it isnt

  • @futurerev21

    the caliber of the projectile is 7.62 mm and the shell is 54 mm long. The caliber is not so important than the shell size/ammunition propellant.

    Sorry for my bad english.

  • @Talshet its not the 7.62x54R, the RPD fires the 7.62x39mm same as the AK-47, the AKM-47 and the SKS. The PKM, fires the 7.62x54R.

  • @valhallawelcomesme yes i thought the poster before want to know the russian 7,62x51 cal what would be the 7,62x54R.

  • Dear Santa...

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone know why the soviet union stopped using this gun after about 15-20 years

  • @gequitz was adopted the new PKM machine gun (7,62 x54) and RPK-74 light machine gun (5,45 x39). RPD was among the russian troops until late 70-ies

  • @gequitz RPD mechanism is not unified with models of Kalashnikov weapons. Perhaps that is why the machine gun was removed from the Russian army. All the RPD is still stored in warehouses at the russian military bases.

  • Killing machine

  • I have a feeling it was over way too soon for him.

  • take up the fight against male patern baldness

  • look at that smile on his face...God Bless America :D

  • This is Degtyarev's handheld machine gun. The one based on the AK is Kalashnikov's handheld machine gun.

  • Although this looks like one of the Kalashnikov families, it's not. It's a Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova design, not Avtomat Kalashnikov.

  • it's like an ak-47 had sex with the saw lmg

  • this reminds me of cod 4.......

  • is it ok to own an auto in the US?

  • @stanleythedoggy ya, legal in the states, but not in russia or canada

  • @stanleythedoggy in certain states with BATFE approval

  • that looks pretty heavy.

  • Note: of cource nato doesn't use 7.62x51 in all of their machine guns. (dodged a bullet there) :d

  • Just saying.. the PKM is quite mobile at least when fighting in the woods, even with modern combat gear with heavy bodyarmor with ceramic plates, the gunner carries 1-2 boxes of ammo (and the loader more). In cqb it might be clumsy but then the "assault rifle" troops would be front when the mg pair is covering the streets or something like that..

  • There`s an MG 34 in the background :)

  • sweet wished i was you

  • very dangerous

  • @Skandinavien88 thats cus most guns are made out of woodd and steel

  • how much do these go for??

  • pkm is better than RPD and RPD is too heavy.

  • @Venom6662 Actually according to one big gun site they both weigh about 7.5kg. Also PKM uses the 7.62x54R bullet which is bigger and heavier than the 7.62x39 of the RPD. Making PKM the heavier system. But all n all I do agree that PKM is a better gun.

  • @Kekkon3n yeah if Degtyaryov could have fixed the reliability issues, it would probably still be in russian service haha. It's a great gun.

  • Better is definitely a subjective term. The PKM was and is an excellent support gun, but it functions better in an environment where the soldier is dug in and has a consistent base of fire (much like the M60, the MG34, or the 240 Bravo), since it's heavy, fires a large round, and has a higher rate of fire. The RPD is slower firing, but has a smaller round (less recoil), and is much lighter, so it makes a better mobile support weapon. Either way, I wouldn't want to be on the business end of one.

  • @Thatevilmidget Sure but our army had these rpds in the 50s or 60s and they discontinued it quite quickly. There must be some reason for it. It got replaced by the finnish made kvkk62 (in english LMG62) with the 7.62x39, the gun was/is heavy but it has a higher rate of fire if i remember correctly. Nowadays we have also the PKM in our defence forces. And the jaegers actually preferred it. At least because it didn't jam as much as with blanks as the legendarily unreliable blankfirer kvkk62.

  • @Kekkon3n Heheh the kvkk was a solid LMG, but the lack of a quick change barrel was a rather bad oversight on the part of the designers. Honestly, the 7.62x54r is my favorite cartridge (which explains 17 Mosin Nagants, 2 SVTs, and a DP28 sitting in the gun room, with plans to add another, hopefully Finn captured SVT this year), but I do wonder why Dr. Kalashnikov decided to chamber the PKM in such a large round when all his previous work was with the M43 cartridge.

  • @Thatevilmidget Maybe just because it has more punch and range. Just like NATO uses the 7.62x51 in their machineguns and "snipers". It should give the pkm better armor piercing and anti air (low flying choppers) capability. I think performance out weighs the capability of interchangable ammo..

  • @Kekkon3n Good point. I'm tempted to say that the 7.62x54r might be the finest military cartridge of all time (it's been in more or less consistent service since 1891), and is, ballistically speaking, incredibly similar to the .308/7.62x51 that NATO uses (it's a slightly faster/hotter round, but the performance otherwise is extremely similar). It's rather amazing that while Russia came up with it in the 1890's it took the rest of the world almost 60 years to catch on and use similar loads.

  • @Thatevilmidget I not sure if it is true but I've heard that the 7.62x51mm NATO is more powerful than the 7.62x54mm Russian despite the Russian round being slightly longer.

  • @1JesseW It really all depends on the specific round. Some countries load the .308 hotter than others, but if you compare the match grade rounds 1:1 the 7.62x54 tends shoot slightly faster (the difference is so small [somewhere between 4 and 15 FPS and roughly 70 joules] it's really negligible, but some folks make a huge deal out of it). For most intents and purposes they're almost identical in ballistic characteristics.

  • @Thatevilmidget Thanks for the reply!

  • @1JesseW Not that it matters. Both rounds fuck you up. Its like saying: "Here stand out there, i wanna see what round kills you more."

  • @Thatevilmidget

    BTW: Just for some PKM action: /watch?v=H991VPyUQfo

    I was the red squad in the fire command team..

  • @Thatevilmidget Hopefully he was nostalgic for the good ol days of Kursk.... Lol. Russian design requirements actually.... The 7.62x39 doesnt have the range and penetration desired in a GPMG.... The 7.62x54 does....

  • first thing that comes to mind is "ALLALALALALALALALALLALALALA GIHAD"

  • @fuckgoofery No....

  • it only looks like an ak variant because of the wooden stock

  • Do note: it had absolutely nothing to do with the AK47, the RPD was ready for mass production as early as 1944, but wasn't delivered in the masses until 1953. It was also the first gun ever to be chambered for 7.62x39mm ammunition.

    It's interesting seeing as it was replaced by the RPK so swiftly that the Russians barely got time to use it, instead giving it to their "less important" troops along with their satellite states like Vietnam.

    Also, you people who keep referencing CoD are idiots.

  • im scared

  • what did they only give him 1/5 of a clip?

  • yall get scars for free if ya live thru my onslaught of rpd- gives me the varacious appetite a shark needs when ya heart bleeds -when i spark the uzi in call of duty

    ya fall all fruity cuz u love balls and booty

  • damn russians and their godly guns...

  • AK on steroids?

  • @TheNASCARknowitall No that's RPK ;)

  • @TheNASCARknowitall this is older than the ak

  • @emasterpiece15 nothing about how old it is just how it looks simalar to the ak

  • @TheNASCARknowitall no thats the rpk

  • @futurerev21 no in the video its an rpd.

  • @TheNASCARknowitall Completely different weapon. Different caliber.

  • @SierraTangoGuns of course.....just saying the shape reminds of an ak almost

  • @SierraTangoGuns Same caliber

  • Comment removed

  • DAMN! TONS OF TONS OF RECOIL IN THE MUD...

  • AK-47 machine gun

  • @Romuloadex217 That would be the RPK this is the Biggest brother of the AK47 in MG form

  • N00B, Doesnt use grip. N00BZTERZ

  • Look like a big brother of the AK to me

  • @DaRealistEver All Soviets projects of personal arms of soldiers was a ideea to creat one waepaon with weight of submachinegunes with power of machinegunes.In outside view they have STG 44 idea.Korobov (for more examples look on gogle and find history of AK 45 ,AK 46, AK 47 and their concurents)

  • @DaRealistEver

    Hardly. They do not share ANY parts.

  • @silleywilley I think he is basing it by looks, but internally yea there not that similar.

  • @DaRealistEver ......its part of the ak47 family

  • @DaRealistEver the rpk is the ak's big brother this is the cousin

  • @DaRealistEver It uses the same round... Only difference is a longer barrel and it uses a belt fed magazine instead of box magazine.

  • @DaRealistEver maybe they took a pair of things from this to make the ak

  • @DaRealistEver no thats the rpk

  • @futurerev21 rpd

  • @TheHEROESdontRUN no im saying the big brother of an ak is an rpk.

  • @futurerev21 ok

  • @DaRealistEver It's because it was. The operating system is very similar.

    It's basically the belt-fed version of the AK-47.

    (There's also the RPK, but too lazy to get into that.)

  • @ThisIsTitters every russian weapon of the time the dragunov svd the klashnikov47 the rpk the rpd were basicly al the same design and still are thru the 74 103 108 the akms are all the same its all the same function realy

  • @desertboy7212 eh, i guess.

  • @ThisIsTitters

    There a good reasons for the same technic and design. A weapon thats familiar for a soldier will always be comfortable for soldier and he will act confidently.

  • @Talshet I'm aware of that.

  • BEAST...

  • "please insert generic COD refrence here"

  • @HirachieOfSociety ok "lmg noob"

  • get a foregrip big boy... and then itlll be straight nasty

  • could you get an rpd in america, an rpd is raped without vowels lol

  • @roguecj310 yeh, we've heard that one before lol -,-

  • RPD has been and will always be my favorite gun :)

  • @supraguy2jzgte but you never shooted it.

  • @7JDH7NL7 ??????????????

  • @supraguy2jzgte nathing.

  • cool. did I see an mg-34 in the background?

  • @peytonabadeedee Yes, you did.

  • Glory! Now we bomb premier Bush! Very nice! High five!

  • Soviet power

  • Oh this is a gun video? Let's argue or bitch about video game!

  • nice bump fire :D jk

  • Hand this or any other gun to a CoD fag and watch as they proceed to muzzle sweep you, your car, and your family. Try to shoot while jumping up and down. Fall falt on their ass from attempting to fire in a dead sprint with zero firearms experience, then be unable to figure out how to eject the magazine, clear jams, or even load the magazine in the first place, all while they scream "THE X BUTTON ISN'T WORKING!"

  • @gungeekgary I play Cod and I'm probably a better shooter than you lol, ps stop trolling

  • @volopok Oh? then by all means upload a video and show me.

  • @TheMaxwell777 It only gets smaller, then the nation crumbles to ruins and everyone leaves..haha.

  • rpds are so light

  • @bandguy360 hence the category LMG lol

  • But he didn't get the 25 kills, or the Nuke. what a noob!

  • do the russian military still use this weapon or has it been replaced by the pkm

  • noob! he cant control the recoil! and why dosnt he just go shoot someone i cant stand seeing lame people just shoting at cardbord things. i play cal of duty

  • @5B1 Recoil from a weapon in real life is nothing like that of Call of Duty. I'd like to see you handle the recoil from a real RPD.

  • @rspivotmaster

    Seriously, the muzzle climb would have him shooting birds.

  • Blame Truth's "Raging Porn Demon"

  • 15lbs of hell

  • Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyareva

    in soviet russia the guns smoke you'!

  • they just just shoot auto matic

  • 撃ちたい

  • what country did the rpd come from please someone help me out

  • @MrV8rob The RPD came from Russia, designed by Vasily Degtyaryov. Hope that helps! :)

  • it would suck to get hit by these...

  • Rutschnoi Pulemjot Degtjarjowa

  • RPD best fukin weopen in the universe

  • as it started to fire you could hear the other gunshots stopping, the people must have been like, "whoa, what the hell?" XD

  • @skeeter749 ehh no they dident lol, you should check your hearing :P

  • I love how this gtamodman is gettin so worked up saying it's real life. It's a shooting range :L

  • @THYMIGHTYBUTCH indeed its a shooting range but shooting ranges are also real....

  • The cartridge is 7.62 x 39 

  • Pretty much the guns the iraqis have, are better than ours. not all of them, but some are.

  • @EricCris10sen l o l no weapon they have is close to ours

  • @EricCris10sen

    Most of their equipment is over 60 years old.  They use AKs and their variants, Nagant rifles, Enfield rifles, PSLs, and other firearms phased out half a decade ago. Where did you get the idea that their guns are better?

  • @Paboozala Well, other than the AKs not ever jamming, and you can dunk them under water and still being able to completely fire it without exploding in your face like the M4s do, nothing really. I have fired my weapon quite a bit, and the damn thing jams so much. Other than accuracy, they overpower a lot of our weapons.

  • @EricCris10sen My M4 never exploded in my face, and has never jammed while I was using it......

  • @orbitofdoom16 Guess yours is just special. Youtube over the bridge test.

  • @EricCris10sen Nope, just a basic, issue M4. Kept clean, and used whatever ammunition the Marines issued.

  • @Paboozala

    If I am not mistaken, whether 60 years old or not, a well placed bullet is just as deadly from a relic as from modern guns...sure today's assault rifles have a higher rate of fire and "armor piercing" rounds, but a lump of lead, regardless of what it is fired from, when taken to the head or heart or any other vital organ, is still deadly. just a thought.......

  • what's the standart calibar of this monster?
