Shooting An Original Full Auto RPD

The RPD(ручной пулемёт Дегтярёва / Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova) is a belt-fed light machine gun designed in Russia by Vasily Degtyaryov in 1943. This is my first time shooting an open bolt fully automatic firearm. It took a little bit of getting used to. However, the sights are familiar to me(just like an AK, SKS or Mosin Nagant) and the slow cyclic rate(650-750 RPM) made this machine gun fairly easy to control.
