RDP vs. RPK
Two 7.62mm light machine guns/squad automatic weapons both made by the Russians during the Cold War. Both are widely exported and in service all around the world. The RPK replaced the RPD in service due to is commonality with the AK-47 family. The RPD uses a 100 round drum normally but some people used a canvas bag with 125 rounds and the RPK uses a 40 round magazine or a 75 round drum. Neither can change the barrels making neither terribly suited for sustaining fire. The RPD can sustain about 100 rounds a minute.
Which one do members think is the better LMG/SAW? I'm leaving off the RPK-74...
