Nope; the SVD is made by Izhmash, in Izhevsk, while the PK and PKM were/are made by the Kovrov Mechzavod (now the VA Degtyarev Factory/Zid), south of Moscow. Dragunov used some design components of the AK in his design, though, which the PK/PKM also uses.
Well it shoots the russian equvalent caliberbullets to the m60 (but a bit bigger) and to my knowledge has a higher rate of fire. That said you'd have to be a schwarzennegger to shoot one without recoil showing. :)
That's bullshit. You're not in any organized military force, because if you were, you would know that deploying the bipod on ONE PKM would allow you to put effective fire on a target at 200+ yards effectively pinning the enemy down and allowing for the flank to be exposed and capitalized on. Firing two PKMs at the same time would only permit you to fire on a target at 10 yards accurately.
Unless the Greek Special Forces just suck balls. But I know that they don't.
@lokatzistakis Yes, it is not needed and you can shoot fairy well with PKM without any support by standing hTaHejAdF-4 Just need to know how to control the recoil. And with can it is much easier than using a just belt. But you can see from that video that it is fairy easy.
@plasterdbastard PKM would allow you to suppress enemy down with bi-pod for 700-800 meters what is almost same with yards. And max range being 3800 meters what is littlebit over a two mail. You can very easily suppress enemy over 1200 meter range and hit some standing targets.
The sight has 100 meter steps to 1500 meter range. I personally never shot the max range but 1200 was still easy and PKM would own the warfare if you just get it to great shooting position where it has a good viewpoint.
@plasterdbastard And with PKM you can shoot fairy well from standing position without any pod or support. You get great 2-3 round burst to targets 300 meters away. With 9 bullet (three burst) I have got 7-10 area in target board from 300 meters (one went missing). Of course shooting when crouching is much easier and you can control the recoil well. The problem with the shooter on this video is that he did not have a can but just a belt. The can gives the needed support and grip to manage recoil.
That gun is designed to be over-accurate, shot 200 rounds with it fev months ago in finnish defence forces, nothing bad to say about it, accurate, good rate of fire and easy to use, thumbs up for that.
Tho the reloading system feels kinda strange, in this weapon you must escort the bolt back with your hand when in most guns you just release it.
@wdmforrent1 I've used both, they don't fail easily but the AK uses a heavy round and isn't very accurate. The SVD is a different story. The whole idea behind the AK was reliability and volume of fire.
@wdmforrent1 You should tell your boyfriend to get his stub out of your ass you faggot. Get a life and stop being a weapons nerd on youtube. Discussion over, any further reciprocations will be fagged as spam.
@wafflePWNAGE22 Like I said try to grow up if you think calling someone a fag really hurts there feelings than your probably the Homo. You can flag this as spam all you want think I care. keep playing with your airsoft and COD kid thats real cool.
@wafflePWNAGE22 nice videos on that class 3 transferable m16 and its not a AK its RPK but I had to leave it with the unit that replaced me. Been there done that got the teeshirt and if your ever on ether end of a Russian made weapon you will respect it and next time just say M16A1 is a lot easier.
@kjsh987 why do people always like weapons that the ENEMY uses? yes the ak-47 has more stopping power but the m16 and m4 have more accuracy, now theres no point haveing a powerful gun if you cant hit anything with it :0
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol no offense...i spent about 2 years is a army reserve (russian) and we used ak,dragnov crap like that but i still shoot better then u....just to show how the american army is pathitic
wow you little shit, i have a proposition to make...you learn what the fuck youre talking about, then you knock the US military all you want :) cheers
What everybody is seeming to forget is the point that the PKM is light at only 18.9 pounds without ammo.The only down side of things is that despite the fact that there are semi disintegrating 20 round links for the PKM,only 100,150 and 250 round belts are usually available.This leads to the problem of having to drag a lot of surplus used belt when you use the gun.Appart from this,the PKM can compete with all other contenders in the field.If you do want a PKM in 7.62 NATO,you have to go Polish.
Yeah, the FN machine guns sucked so bad, half of the world uses them. The M240 sucks. It is only a more reliable weapon firing at a more controllable rate of fire.... and the Minimi is only a lighter light automatic weapon that a single soldier can operate without loss of efficiency!
Fucking smartasses that think they know shit about shooting.
The M-240 is probaly the best Machinge gun in thw world. its a licensed U.s produced version of the Fn-Mag. Which is standard in many countries. including Canada as the C-6 and United Kingdom as the GPMG. Quit overhyping Russian guns. Western designs are just as good if not better.
The PKM fires the 7.62x54mm Russian round. This is a larger round than either the 7.62x39mm Russian or 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. I'm not sure how well the bigger Russian round performs compared to the NATO ammo but the PKM is a hard hitting, reliable and often overlooked MG.
Russian guns aren't just reliable, they're nigh indestructable, powerful, and in some cases revolutionary. Look at the VSSK "Vychlop". Silenced 12.7mm (.50 caliber) rifle? That's not something you hear of every day. Btw, this is coming from an American.
PKM is a very good MG, Accurate and easy to controll if you know how to use it. This marine looks like this is his first time shooting it, no big deal i looked like that my first time.
anyway PKM is accurate and powerful and light for an MG ;D
I love the m249 too its just that the internal parts to it wear out at diffrent rates. so maintaince is kinda tricky.
I noticed your ammo belt had a knot in it that was almost to the receiver before the video ended. I was wondering if that would jam your gun or would the belt straighten itself out before that rounds turn?
I know the damn 240b is a fn mag I was a machinegunner in the US Army. Anyway during my tour in Iraq and tested out the PKM and would rather have the 240, and that was the general consensus. the PKM is lighter though i'll give it that. the 240 and the .50cal ma deuce were killers in iraq.
wow 3mm bigger wow. the 240b got a better rate of fire and is more relible. its a great machinegun. hard to swallow for anti-american liberals who constantly wank russian weapons and think all american weapons suck.
You see, your confusing peoples opinions, whilst one has the utmost respect for the troops one can also disagree with the strategy taken up by those incharge.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the real use of a machine gun is to use it for covering/suppression fire, to keep your enemys' heads down long enough so that a second combat team can get into a firing position to eliminate the hostiles.
you can get the MN all over, just takes some looking around. Enemys use primarily ak-47's, rpk's, Pkm's, Rpg's in todays conflicts...we use m16's,m4's, M249's, m240's, m60s...
Man it must be tough shooting one of those. I have an M44 Mosin Nagant which uses the same round (7.62x54R) and that thing has a pretty good kick when shooting singles.
