DShK

The DShK (Degtyaryova-Shpagina Krupnokaliberny, Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large-Calibre) is a Russian Heavy Machine Gun. It is often referred to as the "Dushka", meaning "dear" or "sweetie" in Russian. It is seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. It was also present in Call of Duty: Mobile, but was removed from it.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops==
The DShK is first seen being used by the Cuban guards of Castro against Alex Mason and his team in the level, "Operation 40". It is frequently seen in "Vorkuta", mounted on the back of trucks manned by prison guards. After jumping from his motorcycle to one of these trucks, Mason uses a DShK to fire at enemy motorcycles, trucks, and Mi-8 helicopters. During "Executive Order", the DShK is seen mounted on trucks, but never usable. During "WMD", Hudson and his team use a similar truck, with Hudson using the mounted DShK to provide cover while the truck is started.

==Trivia==
*The sights on this weapon are unique compared to other mounted machine guns featured in the Call of Duty series; the sight is a circle with the crosshair formed by a wire strung through a chain. It also has an unusable deflection-finding AA sight on the left side of the gun which uses three wires running horizontally through its center, spaced close to each other.
*When firing, the ammunition belt does not move.
*On the Special Ops mission Negotiator in Modern Warfare 3, the player's hands do not appear on the weapon.
