Let me tell you, that Degtyarov, DShK/DShKm 12.7mm Heavy Machine gun, was a beast to fire!

EAT LEAD RUSSIAN STYLE:
Adopted by the Red Army in 1938/39 the DShK
(12.7mm) was Ivan's version of the US .50 caliber machine gun. It was used throughout WWII, as an anti-aircraft, anti-personnel
used against light skinned vehicles or other targets.
The DShK Heavy Machine Gun is a belt-fed, air-cooled, gas operated, crew served, fully automatic machine gun. Like its US .50 caliber counter-part, the DShK, is still in
world-wide service.
