PKM - Metal/polymer structure

Initially designed as a portable machine gun, the PKM was developed to provide significant firepower, serving as vital support for infantry units. In this model, instead of wood, elements made of synthetic material have been added. Over the years, it has gained a reputation as a cult weapon, playing a crucial role in various conflicts, including the Afghan War, the Iraqi conflict, and many others, which speaks to its reliability and combat effectiveness.

The heart of the rifle is a fully reinforced metal gearbox , allowing for prolonged and continuous shooting sessions. The electrical system is equipped with a Mosfet with adjustable ROF. The gearbox has a quick spring change system , providing flexibility in simple replacement. Inside the gearbox, there is a complete set of reinforced 18:1 ratio gears , mounted on 8mm diameter ball bearings . The spring and cylinder head are made of aluminum using CNC milling, and the cylinder head is double-sealed with a thick sip pad, while the piston head has a ball bearing. A&K pays special attention to modifications to the replica, including the installation of a new microswitch , which ensures a fuller and faster trigger response. However, that's not all - significant emphasis has been placed on the hop-up by installing a harder rubber and a special spacer in the omega standard , which increases the range and accuracy of shots.
