Find out why Garand Thumb finds the RPD (the real steel one) to be the best, worst machine gun in this episode... "The RPD in many ways set the standard for Squad based LMG’s the world round. Many cues were taken from the RPD in further designs around the world. I find this to be among my favorite and yet it seems to be a fairly forgotten weapon overall. In today’s video we go over this firearm and talk about it. This semi automatic RPD utilizes special 25 round belts for the purpose of this video."
