The SG-43 Goryunov was a Soviet medium machine gun that was introduced during the Second World War. It was chambered for the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, and was introduced in 1943 as a replacement for the older M1910 Maxim machine guns. It was mounted on wheeled mounts, tripods and armored vehicles.After the end of World War II, the SG-43 was improved and renamed SGM ("M" for modernized); dust covers and a new barrel lock were fitted, and a splined barrel was fitted to improve cooling. A tank mounted variant was also developed under the designation SGMT.

The SG-43 Gorjunov is a Soviet 12.7 mm heavy machine gun from the Second World War and the post-war period. The first copies of this rifle appeared in 1941, but serial production began in 1943. The weapon measured 115 cm, with the weight of the rifle only around 13.5 kilograms. The theoretical rate of fire was up to 700 rounds / min, and the effective shot range - up to 1000-1100 meters.

The SG-43 Gorjunov was developed as a new heavy machine gun of the Red Army, intended to replace in service both the old Maxim wz. 1910 and the emergency and underdeveloped DS-39 rifles of the Diegtarev design. Compared to the latter, the new rifle had similar ballistic properties and rate of fire, but was much easier and cheaper to manufacture, and clearly more reliable. This rifle was modernized after 1945 by changing the barrel mounting method or changing the trigger mechanism - this is how the SGM rifle was created, which in turn became the basis for the development of the SGMT and SGMB rifles. The production of rifles of this type continued until 1961, when the PK / PKS rifle entered the line. The SG-43 Gorjunov rifle and its modernization were used by the armed forces of many countries, such as the PRC, Egypt, Finland, Poland and Hungary.
