The Degtyaryov Light Machine gun was developed by Vasily Alekseyevich Degtyaryov at the Soviet Small Arms design bureau and was the standard issue light Machine gun for the Red Army during World War II and some years after, until replaced by the RPK. The most common versions are the DP (Degtyaryov Pechotnyi), the DPM and the RP-46. The DP and DPM were issued in tank mounted versions known as DT models (DTM/DA).
- Note: This gun (and it's inventor) is almost universally mispronounced in the English speaking world as Degtyarev. That is due to the reading of the original Cyrillic of the name. Despite having an "e" before the last letter, the "e" has an umlaut (ё) so it is pronounced "yo" rather than "eh". But many times the umlaut is hard to see or omitted entirely. Thus the correct pronunciation is Degtyaryov, despite being mispronounced and mis-written all over the net.
