PK Machine Gun, note the larger curved gas block and the thicker fluted barrel that was found on the original weapon - 7.62x54mm R
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
PKM with classic (most seen) version of the flash hider - 7.62x54mm R
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
PKM with latest version of Flash hider - 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

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.

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

1) The PK/PKM - basic GPMG version with Bipod.

2) PKS/PKMS (Pulemyot Kalashnikova Stankoviy) which is a tripod mounted version

3) PKT/PKMT (Pulemyot Kalashnikova Tankoviy) which is a solenoid fired coaxial version for vehicles.

4) PKB/PKMB (Pulemyot Kalashnikova na Bronetransportere) flex vehicle mounted version w/spade grips & butterfly trigger.

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

PKP Pecheneg Machine Gun

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
PKP Pecheneg machine gun with ammo box - 7.62x54mm R. Note the visible belt is fed through the gun; the PKP still feeds from right to left.

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.

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