Note in particular the forward portion of the receiver, with less rivets and a different rivet pattern when compared with the NSV. The location of NSV production, in Kazakhstan, presented a problem for the Russian armed forces following the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Army began looking for a new heavy machine gun to replace its older SGM and DShK machine guns in the early 1950s. The DShK (Degtyaryova-Shpagina Krupnokaliberny, Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large-Calibre) is a Russian Heavy Machine Gun. From what i hear (I’ve never fired .50 BMG, not out of a rifle, not out of the MA DEUCE) the Browning is the perfect anti-aircraft, anti-material, (and despite what technicalities would define it as) anti-personnel weapon system. Anecdotally, this is due to the reduced recoil of the Kord’s new operating system. Needless to say, the presence of this weapon would be a significant indicator with regards to the supply of SALW to separatists in eastern Ukraine. Ltd. except when noted otherwise.

The weapon was also used as a heavy infantry machine gun, in which case it was frequently deployed with a two-wheeled mounting and a single-sheet armour-plate shield. It has traditionally seen service as an armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) machine gun, but can also be tripod mounted, in which role it is more properly designated NSVS-12.7 or NSVS-N3. DShK and DShKM The development of Russian and Chinese .50-caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMG), like their American M2 BMG counterpart, was inspired by the German TuF 13mm HMG. Those supplemented the DShK (pronounced “dish-kuh”) heavy machine gun that had started entering service in 1938 – five years after the M2 was adopted by the United States.

DShK HMG @ 12.7x108mm developed in 1938 muzzle velocity: 850m/s rate of fire: 550rpm effective range: 2km weight: 34kg (60kg w/tripod) NSV "Utes" HMG @ 12.7x108mm developed in 1971 muzzle velocity: 850m/s rate of fire: 700rpm effective range: 1.8km for air targets. In addition to the Soviet Union and Russia, the DShK has been manufactured under license by a number of countries, including the People's Republic of China (Type 54), Pakistan, and Romania. The current conflict in Ukraine is a great example of such a situation, with many subtle variants of former Soviet and Russian weapon types employed by both sides. The true diagnostic features of the Kord are in the receiver, most evidently its left side, where there is a marked absence of rivets on the forward portion (see the image below). In fact, they were designed for slightly different purposes, and technically 14.5 mm is not and has never been a successor for 12.7.

However, there are diagnostic features of these types that should be visible either to first-hand observers, or indeed in a variety of photographic angles. A replacement was commissioned, apparently with some leeway in design specification, because the entirely new team (Obidin, Bogdanov, and Zhiryokin) created a rather different design retaining little of the original weapon’s internal workings. These features may or may not appear on a given example, or be visible from a given photographic angle. However, as was briefly mentioned in the latest ARES report, this particular identification proved to be in error. 4. These features should prove diagnostic in most situations.

The DShK was used throughout the Red Army but it wasn't as common as the 7.62 mm Degtyarev or the Maxim. This mistake was an easy one to make, because the two weapons are, externally at least, remarkably similar and difficult to tell apart without access to internal components or visible designation markings. Like its American equivalent, the M2 Browning, the DShK 1938 was used in several roles. These fundamental design changes resulted in a very different receiver that retains common external features only where necessary for compatibility with existing NSV mounts and accessories. Americans would define the shoulder angle at alpha/2 ≈ 18.16 degrees. These mistakes can act as a red herring for those seeking to establish the objective reality on the ground, or at worst, incorrectly act as evidence of involvement by external parties.

Degtyarev Plant JSC, Kovrov. We therefore present our findings in hope that they will aid other researchers in the field. From what I read, Russian heavy machine guns (I'm thinking specifically of the Kord, though not exclusively) are some 10kgs lighter than the M2, and have quick-change barrels; according to some, the Kord even has better accuracy and less recoil. The US 50 is awesome, but the DShK has a much heavier sound and muzzle blast because of the break.
