The KPV-14.5 heavy ma­chine gun(KPV is an ini­tial­ism for Krup­nokaliberniy Pule­myot Vladimirova, in Russ­ian as Крупнокалиберный Пулемёт Владимирова, or КПВ) is a So­viet de­signed 14.5×114mm-cal­iber heavy ma­chine gun, which first en­tered ser­vice as an in­fantry weapon (des­ig­nated PKP) in 1949. In the 1960s, the in­fantry ver­sion was taken out of pro­duc­tion be­cause it was too big and heavy. It was later re­designed for anti-air­craft use, be­cause it showed ex­cel­lent re­sults as an AA gun, with a range of 3,000 me­ters hor­i­zon­tally and 2,000 me­ters ver­ti­cally against low fly­ing planes. It was used in the ZPU se­ries of anti-air­craft guns. Its size and power also made it a use­ful light anti-ar­mour weapon on the BTR se­ries of ve­hi­cles and the BRDM-2 scout car.

KPVT

The ver­sion for use in ar­moured ve­hi­cles is called the KPVT (tankoviy, 'tank'). KPVT is used for ar­moured ve­hi­cle in­stal­la­tions, boats, mov­able and sta­tion­ary mounts and var­i­ous an­ti­air­craft mounts. It fea­tures a shorter re­ceiver and a heav­ier bar­rel jacket. The KPVT also uses a 50-round belt in­stead of the orig­i­nal 40-round belt. KPVTs are the pri­mary ar­ma­ment of the wheeled BTR-60PB/70/80 se­ries ar­moured per­son­nel car­ri­ers and BRDM-2 ar­moured re­con­nais­sance ve­hi­cles. It is in­tended for fight­ing against light ar­moured tar­gets, weapons sys­tems and light shel­ters at the dis­tances of up to 3000 m, as well as air tar­gets at dis­tances up to 2000 m.
The dis­tance at which the bul­let re­tains lethal force is 8 km. The max­i­mum flight range of the bul­lets is 9 km.

Naval armament

The naval ver­sion was called the ma­rine tum­bo­vaya (MTPU). It was mounted in the fol­low­ing tur­rets; 2M-5 was for tor­pedo boats, the 2M-6 for pa­trol boats, and the 2M-7 for trawlers. The 14.5mm ma­rine pedestal ma­chine gun mount (14.5mm MTPU) is in­tended for com­bat against ar­moured sur­face, coast and air tar­gets. It is mounted on decks of boats and can de­feat sur­face and coast tar­gets with a range of 3,000 me­ters hor­i­zon­tally and 2,000 me­ters ver­ti­cally against low fly­ing planes.

Mechanics

The de­vel­op­ment of the ma­chine gun began in 1944. The 14.5×114mm M41 car­tridge can be used with High Ex­plo­sive In­cen­di­ary - Tracer (HEI-T) or Ar­mour-Pierc­ing In­cen­di­ary (API) bul­lets, and they have ap­prox­i­mately twice the en­ergy of a 12.7 mm (.50 BMG) pro­jec­tile. The KPV is air-cooled and fit­ted with bar­rel with a hard chrome plated bore. It uses a short re­coil op­er­a­tion sys­tem with gas as­sis­tance and a ro­tary bolt. It can be fed with the 40-round metal­lic belt from ei­ther the left or right side. The bar­rel can be re­moved by turn­ing the promi­nent latch on the for­ward end of the re­ceiver and pulling on the bar­rel's car­ry­ing handle.

Versions

Main article: ZPU
The ZPU is a towed anti-air­craft gun based on the KPV. It en­tered ser­vice with the So­viet Union in 1949 and is used by over 50 coun­tries worldwide.
Quadru­ple- (ZPU-4) Dou­ble- (ZPU-2) and sin­gle-bar­reled (ZPU-1) ver­sions of the weapon exist.
