The DS-39 was a Soviet attempt at a universal machine gun, designed to replace the Maxim. It featured an air-cooled barrel and a dual rate of fire, but suffered from critical design flaws like out-of-battery detonations and violent extraction. Despite its adoption in 1939 and use in the Winter War, it was produced in limited numbers and ultimately replaced by the SG-43 Goryunov.
