Enjoying Stalin's Record Player, the DP-28

We come across some cool pieces of history from time to time and when we saw this DP-28 come through the Guns.com Vault, we just knew it needed some attention.

Vasily Degtyaryov was a skilled Russian firearms designer going back to the days of the Tsars when he worked alongside Vladimir Fedorov on the 1916 Avtomat early in his career at the Tula Arms Plant, now Kalashnikov. While he later produced an interesting and simple 14.5mm anti-tank gun, the PTRD, and a belt-fed 7.62x39mm light machine gun, the RPD, we are here to talk about his child of the 1920s, the DP.
