[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do I want a short RPD or full-size?

Thinking about picking up a DSA or Project Guns RPD. Does anyone have experience with both?

If so, which one is more fun?

I have one full size and two short ones I shoot the short ones more often. ask yourself are you going to be laying down to shoot or standing I stand more often so i shot the short ones more

get a shorty, I have both and the full size one hasn't been out of the safe in years.

Dsa makes a good gun, I think project guns rpd's are nicer overall though. The other thing is that project guns uses chrome lined barrels just like the original ones, which is important to me but doesn't matter to some.

Just picked up a DSA shorty, any suggestions?
I kinda want to use a dedicated bipod and then have an offset angled foregrip, a la Hk21e style to make it easier to with.
Any advice on break in procedures? Heard these things are hit and miss.

Nobody referred to accuracy on that question. IS there a difference in practical accuracy? Say at 300 yards if anybody has gotten there's out to that?
