If it had a slight redesign for optics, a front handguard/rails and used disintegrating links or 3-5 rd links it would be incredible even today! Definitely the best gpm of its day, the m60 e4-e6 (basically pretty modern redesigns) is the only comparable equivalent, the m60 took 40 years to be as employable (durability/lightweight/reliable) as a year one PKM 🤦♂️ I do wish it would've had a front handguard/heatshield from day one, which would've prompted even lighter and shorter versions over time 😍

Уникальный материал.
Stoner: "It has the best reliability in the world, tell him that"
Translator: *translates*
Kalashnikov: "...Da..."
That isn't Eugene Stoner, it's Edward C. Ezell.
Cosmoline and coffee
Could be a second channel name
These poor dudes firing 5.45x39 with no ear protection
The brakes make it WORSE!!!!
Mikhail had great hearing for somebody who didnt use ear protection
WHAT?!
@@kiwigrunt330 I didnt see any earpro in this video but I may be mistaken
to be fair it's significantly less loud when shooting outside vs an indoor range.
It's not the translator's fault Mr Kalashnikov never let's him finish his sentence.
He’s so passionate about his work lol.
@BrandonHerrera, this whole series is totally worth some review and maybe some better translation if you have any Russian friends.
I’ve enjoyed shooting my semi auto Arsenal AKS-74. Too bad all the surplus ammo has dried up.
A very humble hard working man.
The way the soldier at 49.00 is flinching, I don't think that fiddling with the sights is going to help much.
The PKM beats the MG 42, M60 and M240 in my opinion. Way lighter and just as durable, if not more durable and reliable.

пружина из пластмассы. наверное поетому он и не заклинивает никогда.
Мне кажется что там именно основание из пластмассы(какая-то часть пятки), по крайней мере куда Калашников показывал

You mean a reverse engineered German gun

Wait till you learn about how the M60 and m249 were made
