Light Machine Guns in Finland: DP-28 vs LS-26
This video compares the Finnish Lahti-Saloranta LS-26 and the Soviet DP-28 light machine guns, focusing on their performance and suitability for combat. The LS-26, initially Finland's standard LMG, is described as finely built but prone to cold-weather malfunctions. The DP-28, adopted after its capture during the Winter War, is highlighted for its simplicity, reliability, and larger magazine capacity. The video also touches on the effectiveness of semi-automatic DP/DPM variants made by SMG Guns. The author notes a limited experience with the LS-26 during the shoot but generally found the DP-28 more usable.
