Product Description
The RPD (Ruchnoy Pulemet Degtyaryova) is a Soviet-era light machine gun chambered in 7.62x39mm, developed by Vasily Degtyaryov in the late 1940s. Designed to provide squad-level automatic firepower, it became a standard-issue weapon for Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces during the Cold War. The RPD’s belt-fed system, integrated into a detachable drum magazine, made it an efficient and portable solution for infantry support.
The RPD drum magazine holds a 50-round non-disintegrating belt, which feeds the 7.62x39mm cartridges directly into the weapon. Its lightweight construction and compact design allowed soldiers to carry additional ammunition without compromising mobility. The drum also protected the belt from dirt and debris, enhancing reliability in rugged conditions.
Inert 7.62x39mm rounds replicate the appearance and dimensions of live ammunition without the explosive components, making them ideal for display, training, or reenactments. This combination of an RPD drum magazine and inert rounds is a must-have for collectors, military history enthusiasts, or anyone looking to own a piece of Cold War history.
Whether for educational purposes or as a display item, the RPD drum magazine with inert rounds highlights the innovation and practicality of Soviet-era firearm design.
