South_Hat3525 on March 10, 2026 9:13 am Nice. But it looks like it could be even nicer with a PKTM rather than the PKT. PKTM Specifications (from Rosoboronexport): Caliber:7.62x54mmR Weight: 10.5kg / 23lbs Overall Length: 1098mm / 43in Barrel Length: 722mm / 28.4in Rate of fire: 700-800RPM Belt capacity: 250rds Muzzle velocity: 850m/s / 2788ft/s Sighting range of fire: 1500m / 1640yds OK its a bit heavier but has about 7 times the rate of fire. It’s possible that it is already a PKTM but the journalist didn’t know?
