| "The PKM is an iconic machine gun, perhaps almost as much as the AKM. If you thought there was a little bit of family resemblance, you'd be right; the PK machine gun is, at the core, a development of the AKM rifle, featuring a similar piston-driven action, with the main differences being that this weapon is open-bolt rather than closed-bolt, and belt-fed rather than magazine-fed. Many machinegunners in the Mazes swear by the PKM, and if you were to ask them why, they'd respond that it has all of the reliability of an AK-pattern rifle, but combined with all of the power of the 7.62x54mm R cartridge. And they'd be right." |
