The original 7.62 DP Machine Gun had its operating spring coiled on the piston rod which is seated under the barrel. The heating of the barrel caused distortion of the spring with resultant malfunctions. The improved DPM is basically the same as the DP, but the recoil spring is mounted in a tube which projects to the rear of the receiver to eliminate the heat-related problems experienced with the spring of the DP. A pistol grip was added.
