It looked simple. It looked reliable.
But for the soldier forced to carry it, the DP-28 was a curse disguised as a machine gun.
The Soviet Union produced over 4 million of these “Record Player” guns during WW2 — but every soldier knew the truth: carrying one turned you into the primary target for every German rifleman on the field. That big pan magazine on top wasn’t just a design choice… it was a death sentence.
From Degtyaryov’s design desk to frozen trenches on the Eastern Front, this is the dark truth behind one of WW2’s most recognizable machine guns — a weapon that helped win a war, but destroyed the men who carried it.

Because every weapon has a story… and some stories are paid for in blood.
