Degtyaryov's manual Machine gun (RPD the sample 1944.)

Degtyaryov's manual machine gun (RPD) the sample 1944.—the automatic weapon of shooting branch. It is intended for destruction of alive force and defeat fair means of the opponent. Automatics of a machine gun works due to energy of the powder gases allocated from the channel of a trunk. Lock-out of a trunk is carried out by fighting emphasises which enter in fighting a ledge boxes. Impact on a cap is made by a frame through at its approach in extreme forward position. The trigger mechanism has a safety lock type. Shooting is conducted only by continuous fire. Submission of cartridges at shooting is made by means of the metal tape laid in a box. The box with a tape joins from below boxes. The returnable spring is located in a butt and inserted through an aperture into it which is closed by a directing core of a returnable spring by means of ledges. Feed RPD by means of a metal tape in capacity on 100 cartridges has allowed to increase practical rate of fire of the weapon on To comparison with analogues to lower weight and to increase a unit of fire. The tape on 100 cartridges is made of two parts connected among themselves by means of a cartridge, inserted in a connecting part at equipment. A similar feed of a machine gun by cartridges has allowed to eliminate such lack of a tape feed, as an inconvenient dash with a machine gun at a hanging down tape. Cartridges of the sample are applied to shooting from a machine gun 1943 with ordinary (with the steel core), tracer бронебойно-incendiary and incendiary bullets.
