ukrainian forces and their soviet DP-27 light-machine gun (nearly 100 years old)

[missingmytowel]

I’m sure it kills fascists just as well today as it did 80 years ago.

If it spits lead and doesn’t jam, I don’t care how old it is.

[Justinasz]

I’m in awe at the size of that lad. Absolut unit

[DiamondDallasHand]

If it sprays lead it gets them dead

Something tells me, that guy brought his own guns out of his attic…and he’s not scared of shit at the point.

Ma Duce is over 100 years old. She works great.

[Thanalas]

Even 100 year old bullets can still kill…

[linkdudesmash]

But will it kill?!!!

[MattMikeWill]

Good to see the Ukrainian Armoured Division in the field.

It worked fine against the Nazis. Now they attack from the other side, and they have replaced the swastika with the new halfstika. But I don’t think the DP-27 has any opinion about that.

Beautiful weapon.
