'''The PK machine gun and variants can be seen in the following films, video games, and television series used by the following actors:'''
The '''PK Machine Gun''' is a Russian belt-fed general-purpose machine gun firing the venerable 7.62x54mmR round. The weapon was designed late in a project started in 1955 to replace the ageing [[Degtyaryov RP-46]] and [[Goryunov SGM]] as a battalion- and company-level machine gun, as the Soviet military had been impressed by the GPMG concept exemplified by the German [[MG42]].


==Kalashnikov PK/PKM Machine Gun==
While an initial design by Grigory Nikitin and Yuri Sokolov had produced a candidate for this project in 1958, the PN1, a team from Izhevsk Mechanical Plant headed by Mikhail Kalashnikov produced a competitor in 1960 derived from the gas-operated, rotating-bolt AK action, turned upside-down and using an open bolt for improved cooling and a two-stage belt-feed with non-disintegrating links. Trials showed the result, the '''PK''' (''Pulemyot Kalashnikova''; "Kalashnikov's machine gun") to be superior to the Nikitin-Sokolov design. The Nikitin-Sokolov design would later form the basis of the [[NSV heavy machine gun]].

In 1961, Mikhail Kalashnikov's design for a General Purpose Machine Gun, the '''PK''' ''(Pulemyot Kalashnikova)'' was formally adopted by the Soviet Military.  It fired the standard cartridge for the SVD Dragunov and the M91/30, the 7.62x54 Rimmed cartridge in non-disintegrating belts.  In 1969 a modernized version, the '''PKM''' ''(Pulemyot Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy)'' was fielded, with a lighter, unfluted barrel and a hinged shoulder strap on the buttstock.
In 1969 a modernized version, the '''PKM''' (''Pulemyot Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy'') was fielded, with a lighter, unfluted barrel and a hinged metal shoulder strap on the buttstock.


There are four versions of the PK/PKM in use today.
Unlike other open bolt machine guns, such as those derived from the [[MG42]], the PK uses a two-stage feed mechanism with a cartridge-gripping claw that pulls the rimmed rounds out of the belt backwards, drops them into the feed way, before pushing them into the chamber when firing (the MG42, and its derivatives like the [[M60]], pushes their rimless rounds directly out of the belts and into the chamber when firing). This also means that the PK specifically needs to be cocked after placing a belt onto the feed tray, to put the first cartridge in place for firing, while other open bolt machine guns can be cocked before or after placing the belt.

[[File:PKP Pecheneg-2.jpg|thumb|450px|right|PKP Pecheneg without ammo box and bipod folded - 7.62x54mm R]]


The '''PKP Pecheneg''' machine gun is a modernized version of the PKM with a forced-air-cooled, non-changeable barrel that allows for longer periods of fire and greater accuracy. Further improvements include the shifting of the bipod towards the muzzle to improve stability, and the capability to mount optical sights. The Pecheneg currently is in service with some Russian military and interior ministry units.

A bullpup variant is also produced by the manufacturer, with a very distinctive slanted belt box mounted in front of the trigger guard, with the belt run back to a feed opening rear of the grip.

[[File:Zastava-m84.jpg|thumb|501px|right|Zastava M84 machine gun with the bipod deployed - 7.62x54mm R.]]
A bullpup variant of the PKP Pecheneg is produced. It features a very distinctive slanted belt box mounted in front of the trigger guard, with the belt run back to a feed opening rear of the grip. The first models were shown in 2012, made by Zenit, while after 2013 the models seem to be produced in the factory by ZiD, better known as the Degtyarev Plant.


The '''Zastava M84''' is a clone of the PK Machine Gun built by [[Zastava Arms]]. The M84 is distinguishable by its solid wooden stock and unfluted barrel, and is common in the former Yugoslavia and Iraq.

The '''UKM-2000''' is a Polish variant of the PKM, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and feeding from standard M13 disintegrating link belts. The most obvious external difference between the PKM and the UKM-2000P (the standard infantry variant) is the fact that the receiver has been extended forward compared to the PKM. This is due to the fact that the UKM-2000 strips rounds from the belt by pushing them straight through, as opposed to the PKM which pulls the rounds backwards out of the belt before pushing them into the breech.
The '''UKM-2000M''', which was previously called the '''UKM-2013P''' during development before it was officially adopted, is a modernized model of the UKM-2000 featuring a shorter barrel and a number of upgrades.

The PK Machine Gun is a Russian belt-fed general-purpose machine gun firing the venerable 7.62x54mmR round. The weapon was designed late in a project started in 1955 to replace the ageing Degtyaryov RP-46 and Goryunov SGM as a battalion- and company-level machine gun, as the Soviet military had been impressed by the GPMG concept exemplified by the German MG42.

While an initial design by Grigory Nikitin and Yuri Sokolov had produced a candidate for this project in 1958, the PN1, a team from Izhevsk Mechanical Plant headed by Mikhail Kalashnikov produced a competitor in 1960 derived from the gas-operated, rotating-bolt AK action, turned upside-down and using an open bolt for improved cooling and a two-stage belt-feed with non-disintegrating links. Trials showed the result, the PK (Pulemyot Kalashnikova; "Kalashnikov's machine gun") to be superior to the Nikitin-Sokolov design. The Nikitin-Sokolov design would later form the basis of the NSV heavy machine gun.

In 1969 a modernized version, the PKM (Pulemyot Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy) was fielded, with a lighter, unfluted barrel and a hinged metal shoulder strap on the buttstock.

Unlike other open bolt machine guns, such as those derived from the MG42, the PK uses a two-stage feed mechanism with a cartridge-gripping claw that pulls the rimmed rounds out of the belt backwards, drops them into the feed way, before pushing them into the chamber when firing (the MG42, and its derivatives like the M60, pushes their rimless rounds directly out of the belts and into the chamber when firing). This also means that the PK specifically needs to be cocked after placing a belt onto the feed tray, to put the first cartridge in place for firing, while other open bolt machine guns can be cocked before or after placing the belt.

The PK Machine Gun and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

PK Machine Gun, note the larger curved gas block and the thicker fluted barrel that was found on the original weapon - 7.62x54mm R

PKS on Samojenkov tripod - 7.62x54mm R. Note the lack of a hinged shoulder strap on the stock and the fluted barrel; these differentiate the PK from the later PKM. This example is also seen with an earlier tripod without the modern tripod's belt box mount.

PKT machine gun with 250-round ammo drum - 7.62x54mm R

There are four versions of the PK/PKM in use today:

  • PK/PKM: basic GPMG version with Bipod.
  • PKS/PKMS (Pulemyot Kalashnikova Stankoviy): tripod mounted version.
  • PKT/PKMT (Pulemyot Kalashnikova Tankoviy): solenoid fired coaxial version for vehicles.
  • PKB/PKMB (Pulemyot Kalashnikova na Bronetransportere): flex vehicle mounted version w/spade grips & butterfly trigger.

The PKP Pecheneg machine gun is a modernized version of the PKM with a forced-air-cooled, non-changeable barrel that allows for longer periods of fire and greater accuracy. Further improvements include the shifting of the bipod towards the muzzle to improve stability, and the capability to mount optical sights. The Pecheneg currently is in service with some Russian military and interior ministry units.

UKM-2000M - 7.62x51mm NATO

The UKM-2000 is a Polish variant of the PKM, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and feeding from standard M13 disintegrating link belts. The most obvious external difference between the PKM and the UKM-2000P (the standard infantry variant) is the fact that the receiver has been extended forward compared to the PKM. This is due to the fact that the UKM-2000 strips rounds from the belt by pushing them straight through, as opposed to the PKM which pulls the rounds backwards out of the belt before pushing them into the breech.

The UKM-2000M, which was previously called the UKM-2013P during development before it was officially adopted, is a modernized model of the UKM-2000 featuring a shorter barrel and a number of upgrades.
