Kovonalov field stripped.
The Konovalov machine gun (Пулемет Коновалова) was a machine gun of Russian origin.
Machine gun with a drum chamber powered AI Kovonalov, 1944. The basic principle of the proposed system was to use a revolving drum type in which a unitary cartridge (or mine) introduced a series of successive motions of the system and turn the drum. This achieves a sharp reduction in stroke of the moving system and reduce its weight, and this provides a great rate of fire.
