Kalashnikov Modernized Machine Gun (PKM) Replica
The Kalashnikov Modernized Machine Gun (PKM) Replica from manufacturer ZBROIA is a realistic full-scale replica for training and collecting. This deactivated weapon sample retains the external appearance of a real machine gun and is designed for mastering assembly-disassembly skills, maintenance, and display use without the ability to fire.
Historically, the PKM is a modernized development of the design by M. Kalashnikov: the original PK was adopted into service by 1961, and in 1968, the PKM with bipods appeared, which can also be mounted on a tripod in a mounted or anti-aircraft configuration. The replica reproduces the characteristic design elements and allows one to feel the weight and balance of the real weapon.
Functional features of the original PKM: automation operates by diverting powder gases from the barrel bore; the gas block is adjustable; the barrel is easily removable if needed; locking is performed by rotating the bolt with lugs entering the receiver's groove; the original fires from an open bolt; feeding is via a continuous metal belt, stored in boxes of various sizes (a 100-round box is attached under the receiver); the trigger mechanism allows only automatic mode.
The replica is ideal for tactical procedure training, museum displays, films, and photo shoots where authenticity of appearance and mass-dimensional characteristics are important.
