The RPD, a precursor to modern LMGs, features a 20-inch 7.62x39mm barrel and a long-stroke gas piston system firing from an open bolt. While its design is historically significant and it remains globally relevant due to cost-effectiveness, its lack of a quick-change barrel is a major drawback for sustained fire. The RPD utilizes 100-round drums for its non-disintegrating belts.
