can they not just call it a .50 cal?

this shows some nice views of it, rather than the awful editing above

Because of the metric system in Russia at a guess.

Heres another one, in Russian but worth a look

I like the way the empties go forwards out the little tube!
I also like the pull start!
Is it 2 or 4 stroke?

“KORD” = Konstruktsija ORuzheinikov-Degtyarovtsev – design of Degtyarov plant team

There is an export version that is chambered in .50 BMG as well
