Why doesn't it say anything about this gun's use in Soviet tanks? And the fact that the DT tank models all apparently used twin-row magazines, and other modifications. It specifically says in the article that they only used single-row pans, which is obviously not true of tank guns. AnnaGoFast (talk) 19:30, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The page lists the gun as a light machine gun, but this is in contradiction to the definition of a light machine as stated on the light machine gun wikipedia page. The gun should be listed as a General-purpose machine gun. The definition used on that page does match the DP-28 77.165.248.153 (talk) 15:22, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was just used in the light role, it neither had a heavy tripod mound for the medium role nor belt feeding. --Denniss (talk) 16:48, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

add a link to World War 2 fighter aircraft in the DA machine gun section, placing a link in place of the word "aircraft". Link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_aircraft#World_War_II Kord6P67 (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Not quite sure of the reasoning behind this and how it would help the article. Seems like it should link to a specific aircraft, not just to Fighter aircraft. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 23:46, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Typical of

The drum magazine had nothing to do with that. You can't fire an MG42 nonstop either, and the only thing that allows it to fire in a more sustained manner in that you can swap the barrel out. No one is dumping nonstop ammo though an MG42 like it's a water cooled Vickers gun. You stop to cool down between bursts, which is the same interval they would reload drums in with a DT. Even in the most heavy sustained fire, you would be swapping barrels between belts, but with the extremely high rate of fire, you would be stopping to swap barrels just as often as DT gunners swapping magazines. You would lay down more fire (for what is worth and assuming you can keep up the ammo supply), but that's a different metric. The MG42 can keep doing this for longer, but that's only because the barrel swap, not because it is belt fed and the DT isn't. Idumea47b (talk) 14:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That whole paragraph is unreferenced. I've removed the part you've pointed out. The other statements need citations too. MartinezMD (talk) 21:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
