@spetsnaz9999xy Yeah but it’s not any more reliable than any other decent open bolt

Litteraly just weight. Still zero competition

What makes the PKM still the best GPMG?

@2ltSierra @LepaThewarrior Ultimately, in the current environment, platoon attacks are a thing of the past, not even considering a company attack, it’s just suicide
English

@wintmint723 @LepaThewarrior Also because it is built like a tank in broad comparison to the PK, which is where it's 2-4Kg weight increase comes from. You can go through 500-1000 rounds with a single barrel as long as you are doing bursts for suppression as part of a Platoon/Coy attack

@xaendau The smooth contours of the 6B13…. The subtle grey-beige weathering… oh my God… he even has a CamoFans moss KZM….

@2ltSierra @LepaThewarrior Because the 240 is changing barrels.
English

@wintmint723 @LepaThewarrior Would love a source for this since M240 Teams are expected to sustain 100 rounds a minute in the tripoded two man teams for US Rifle Platoon fires, or about 6000 rounds a hour, whilst PKP does 1000 rounds an hour
English

@2ltSierra @LepaThewarrior PKP is still lighter than the 240 but can sustain more rounds
English

@LepaThewarrior @wintmint723 It's good to shoot but for being a General Purpose Machine Gun it really favours weight savings over sustained fires for a lot of reasons, just namely how the Soviets later Russians use it compared to MAG/other 7.62 MGs elsewhere
English

@2ltSierra M2 is most certainly man portable, and the Kord even more-so
English

@wintmint723 Ignoring the PLAGF for a second, these aren't heavy tripoded weapons since they are easily man transportable by like two dudes, something you can't really do with the M2 or the Kords. It's just different use cases since PKP is a one man operation for the most part
English

@2ltSierra @LepaThewarrior PKP has a heavy air-cooled barrel, it weighs more
English

@LepaThewarrior @wintmint723 PKM has a QCB but PKP does not in favour of weight savings, mainly because it is the Rifle Squad's MG
English

@2ltSierra >vietnam
>US army
besides if you need a heavy tripoded weapon, we have M2 or Kord

Notice how regardless of the body size in these old paintings they never have gigantic sagging milkers. They knew what peak was.

@wintmint723 As a Section level LMG in 7.62 it's not bad as an option but the GPMG role for tripoded use doesn't really favour the pencil barrels of the PK series. Though stuff like Evolys and LAMG are coming up as lighter options to the PK
English

@mezbelly At that point it’s better to just have a traumatic pistol…
English

@ZTryd0v1k675 In general yeah, damn all this talking, just a machine gun
