This review details the SMG Guns semi-auto DPM light machine gun, a conversion of the Soviet DP. Key improvements over the original DP include a closed-bolt, linear hammer-fired action for a better trigger, a pistol grip, and a relocated recoil spring. The DPM retains the iconic 47-round pan magazine for the 7.62x54R cartridge, though loading is tedious. The design features a simple flapper locking system similar to the G43.
This video details a rare 1908 Terni Arsenal semi-automatic conversion of the M91 Carcano rifle, utilizing a short recoil system. The conversion involved modifying the bolt to an 8-lug design and allowing the barrel and receiver to move within the stock. This experimental firearm showcases an early attempt to adapt bolt-action rifles to semi-automatic operation.
