I got to shoot a full auto RPD last weekend, and really fell in love with it. There are semiauto receivers and compliance parts out there, as well as excellent condition parts kits...and I'm contemplating building one. I do kinda wonder how much less fun they are in semi, though.
Overall, it's a light and really slim gun for a LMG (2 pounds lighter than the M249), and I can afford the 7.62x39 ammo more easily than any other beltfed. The lack of a quick-change barrel would be less of an issue in a semi, and the belt feed would make it a nicer support-type weapon than an RPK...
Any thoughts?
