You have to load the belts on an RPD, an RPK can run off of AK mags, drums etc and I'm not sure whether you are eluding to the Kalshnikov operating system as being shit, but it is one of the most reliable in the world.

I am a huge fan of the RPD but for nostalgia purposes only, given a choice on a battlefield where there are other AKs, I'll take the RPK and few of my own 70 rd drums. Once you are out of ammo on the RPD, you are jamming links, or just looking for some other guy who had one, which nowadays is pretty unlikely.

Get the RPD for collector's purposes, the RPK for battlefield use.

Also SOG guys used to chop their RPDs into a nice little package, some of them fellers are on this board, they could give some hands on advice for the RPD.
