Trivia

 * The correct name of the machine gun is actually "DP-27". It is known as the DP-28 in Western countries. It was originally tested in 1927 but fully deployed in 1928.
 * In the game, the 60-round capacity is inaccurate. A true DP magazine only holds 47 rounds of ammunition. It could be argued that the weapon was modified to accept a 60-round DT pan magazine. However, this is clearly not the case, as the icon for the DP features the 47-round magazine.
 * In real life, the DP-28 uses the 7.62×54mmR cartridge.
 * When firing, the DP-28 ejects spent casings to the right of the gun. In real life, the DP actually ejects cartridges downwards.
 * It is one of the few guns with a visible magazine, along with the QBB-97, M249, and PKP Pecheneg.
 * This was the first LMG-class weapon added to the game.
 * Prior to update 0.6.31, the DP-28 was relatively rare and was an Airdrop weapon. As of that update, it was removed from airdrops and had its drop rate boosted.
 * Some people nickname the DP-28 the 'Dinner plate' 28, due to the absurdity of its magazine.
 * The DP-28 is the most common LMG.
