Other PK Machine Gun variants
PKB Variant with Spade Grips
I was wondering if anyone on the Internet Movie Firearms Database community has any photos of this rarer variant. It is apparently the same type of weapon used by the former Soviet military and now Russian and other post-Soviet states in their armored vehicles. What makes it unique from the infantry or tank versions is that the PKB machine gun featured spade grips and the thumb button of older machine guns instead of the stock and pistol grip layout. Was at least used since the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979 - 1989 as helicopter weaponry (door and window armament for the Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopter). Despite frequent use I have not found many details in books or on the web on this variant. Maphisto86 (talk) 00:32, 19 August 2013 (EDT)

- Although it is probably a mock up (have heard of people making them out of a PKT with the solenoid replaced by grips from the SG-43) there is one of these in the first set photos for Expendables 3. --commando552 (talk) 04:47, 20 August 2013 (EDT)
Bullpup PKP
I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea o_O

Other not-in-site variants
For example how can I tell the difference between a UKM-2000 and a PKM? --Dannyguns (talk) 14:53, 2 December 2016 (EST)
- The difference is more internal than external. The main difference is disintegrating ammunition belt on UKM instead of non-disintegrating belt on PK. Most modern version of UKM (UKM-2013) is fitted with a telescopic buttstock and Picatinny rail. Greg-Z (talk) 15:15, 2 December 2016 (EST)
- There are a few obvious external differences as well due to the totally different way in which the UKM-2000 feeds. Essentially, the chamber needs to be a few inches further forward so the receiver of the UKM-2000 is extended to accommodate this, sort of having an extra section just ahead of the feed tray pivot which is a new latch for the barrel. There are other differences in the feed tray, the most externally obvious of which are the removal of the spring loaded cover, lugs to fix the rail to even if it is missing, and simpler machining on the sides without the PKM's distinctive rib. The UKM-2000 also has a different, less upside-down AK shaped gas block. If you do a side by side comparison of a PKM to a UKM-2000 you can see these differences more clearly. --commando552 (talk) 15:50, 2 December 2016 (EST)
Thank you commando552.--Dannyguns (talk) 16:40, 2 December 2016
Hem the UKM appeared in a videogame (Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3) Question now is...
Should belong here or on another page?--Dannyguns (talk) 10:53, 2 May 2017 (EDT)
- If it appears, then it should go on this page in its own section like the Zastava. That is assuming that what is identified as a UKM-2013 in that game actually is one and not just a PKM, do you have a screencap of it? --commando552 (talk) 13:20, 2 May 2017 (EDT)
Emto PL confirmed that, well if they make a screencap, I will be the 1st to make that section, I know the rules. No screencap no party.--Dannyguns (talk) 13:41, 2 May 2017 (EDT)
PKP Question
What the second P stand for? Polumelet Kalashnikova What?--Dannyguns (talk) 12:27, 25 January 2017 (EST)
- In Russian characters it stands for Пехотный. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 13:03, 25 January 2017 (EST)
Is good that I known how to read Cyrulica. Thank you. Means Infantry in English :)--Dannyguns (talk) 07:59, 26 January 2017 (EST)
UKM-2013 Thing
That is not UKM-2013 variant, but UKM-2000M, which also known as UKM-2000P zmod. <- zmod. is a shortcut of modernized, in this standard Polish Army is already buying this rifles, also Nigeria ordered something. UKM-2013 was only a prototype.--Kox (talk) 21:10, 19 July 2017 (EST)
- Do you have an image of what you think the UKM-2013 is then? As far as I can tell, the variant currently on the page listed as the UKM-2013 is one, as shown in this article. I thought that this variant was the UKM-2015/UKM-2000M which has a different stock and rail system, and that the UKM-2000Z was this earlier prototype that didn't have a railed handguard. --commando552 (talk) 15:42, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
