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 PKP Pecheneg General Purpose Machine Gun is a modernized version of the PKM with an 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.
