The PKM is a 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun featured in ArmA: Cold War Assault, ArmA: Armed Assault, ArmA 2, and ARMA Reforger.


ArmA: Cold War Assault[]

« The PK machine gun is the standard light machine gun of the former Soviet Union and many of its allies. The PK is a gas-operated, rotary locked, belt-fed machine gun which fires from an open bolt. The weapon is fed from non-disintegrating metallic belts. These belts are composed of 25-round sections that can be linked to any size necessary.

The PKM 7.62 mm medium machine gun.

The PK is used by Soviet military forces and the Nogovan Partisans in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview[]

The PK is a gas operated, belt-fed medium machine gun that operates with an open bolt design. It is chambered to fire the 7.62×54 mm cartridge.

It loads from 100-round belts stored in metal boxes[CWACfgW 4], and is able to attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute[CWACfgW 5][Formula 1] with a muzzle velocity of 1,000 m/s.[CWACfgW 6]

The PK is the standard-issue GPMG of the Soviet Armed Forces. A moderately powerful machine gun, the PK provides every Soviet squad with the ability to suppress enemy infantry within whichever direction it's pointed at. It retains a good base rate of fire, above average accuracy, and a large ammunition capacity which makes the PK a decent competitor to its American counterpart.

However as with the M60, the PK also suffers from several drawbacks. Though its accuracy is quit edecent, its ironsights are difficult to aim with since they obscure most of the shooter's view in first person. Its recoil is difficult to control, and its relatively high fire rate also means that a single belt will be quickly depleted after just a few seconds of sustained fire. Lastly, wielding the PK will prevent the user from being able to carry a rocket launcher (just like the M60).[CWACfgW 7]

Fortunately, the problem of recoil can be slightly remedied by simply shooting from a prone position which can help mitigate some of its effects. Shooting in short bursts (of 4-5 rounds instead of firing on full auto), will also lower the rate at which it consumes ammunition while still being able to provide suppression at long distances.

Alternately, one effective solution to maintain accuracy while firing long bursts is to simply aim slightly below the intended target (at least good few centimetres under), which will result in hitting the target with sustained fire with almost every round. Provided that this is done from a prone position, the high recoil will then (mostly) keep the barrel pointed directly at the target.

Ironsights[]

OFP-pkm-ironsight-overview

The PK's ironsights are set to a fixed zeroing of 400 metres.[CWACfgW 8][CWACfgW 9] It is not possible to manually adjust this to a different setting.

Trivia[]

  • Although Cold War Assault's weapon manual lists the PK's stats as having a 200-round belt[1], the in-game PK can only feed from 100-round belt boxes.
  • At release, AI units armed with the PK would continue firing even when allied units crossed into their line of fire. This was corrected after the release of Patch 1.40, which added a safety check to prevent PK users from committing friendly fire.[2]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • In pre-release/beta versions of Cold War Assault (version 0.36, then-known as Operation Flashpoint DEMO) as well as in the original Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis prior to the addition of the official Resistance and unofficial Red Hammer expansions, the PK had wholly different set of sound effects.[3]
    • Instead of sounding exactly like the AK-74 being fired on full auto, it sounded the same as the 7.62 mm-chambered coaxial machine guns used by both the T-72 and M60 tanks, as well as the BMP-1, BMP-2 and M2A2 IFVs.
    • Oddly enough, this was actually a far more realistic and appropriate sound effect as the T-72 and BMPs use essentially one and the same weapon (the "PKT", as this was vehicle-mounted version of the PK machine gun). For unknown reasons however, the PK was later changed starting from Patch 1.46 to use the AK-74's firing sounds.
    • This is further compounded by the fact that said vehicles kept the weapon's original sound effect while the PK itself did not retain them. Lastly, this change makes even less sense when taking into account that both weapons are chambered for completely different calibres (7.62×54 mm versus the AK-74's 5.45×39 mm).

ArmA: Armed Assault[]

« The PKM is the modernized version of the venerable PK medium machinegun.
The PKM is just small enough to be man portable, and an ammo box attached under the receiver means the gunner always has a full 100-round belt ready to fire.
Though it is a heavy weapon to pack around, the firepower it projects on the battlefield makes it worth the trouble. The PKM can provide sustainable suppressive fire, even at very long ranges.

The PKM 7.62 mm medium machine gun.

The PKM is used primarily by SLA forces and in limited numbers with Resistance guerillas in ArmA: Armed Assault.

Overview[]

Returning in Armed Assault, the PKM now serves as the primary GPMG of the Sahrani Liberation Army. It is (roughly) analogous to the American M240.

It still feeds from 100-round belt boxes like its predecessor in Cold War Assault[A1CfgW 5] but its muzzle velocity has been reduced to 850 m/s[A1CfgM 2], and it is slightly less accurate since Armed Assault's PKM has a dispersion of 0.0008 rad.[A1CfgW 1]

As compensation for these drawbacks, Armed Assault's PKM has a higher fire rate of ~ 666 RPM rather than 600 RPM (a ~ 10% increase in ROF)[A1CfgW 6][Formula 2] and its ironsights are slightly less obstructive. Furthermore, Armed Assault's 7.62 mmR cartridge hits much harder as it has a base damage value of 12 rather than 8 (a 40% increase in stopping power).[A1CfgA 1]

However, equipping the PKM will prevent the user from being able to carry a shoulder-fired launcher at the same time.[A1CfgW 7] In addition, its ~ 16% reduction in muzzle velocity[A1CfgM 2] means that Armed Assault's PKM loses a fair bit of range compared to its Cold War Assault predecessor (especially in contrast to the M240's muzzle velocity of 900 m/s[A1CfgM 3]).

Ironsights[]

Arma1-pkm-ironsight-overview

The PKM's ironsights utilise a fixed zeroing of 300 metres.[A1CfgW 8][A1CfgW 9] It is not possible to manually adjust its settings.

Armoury Description[6]
 »
The PKM 7.62 mm medium machine gun.
The PKM 7.62 mm medium machine gun.

The PKM is used by several BLUFOR, REDFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 2.

Overview[]

ArmA 2's iteration of the PKM remains largely unchanged, from fire rate (~ 666 RPM)[A2CfgW 6][Formula 3] to the stopping power of its 7.62 mmR cartridge[A2CfgA 1], as well as being limited to feeding from 100-round ammoboxes[A2CfgW 7] and preventing the user from carrying a shoulder-fired launcher weapon whilst they are equipped with the PKM.[A2CfgW 2]

In fact, ArmA 2's PKM has been downgraded as opposed to being improved over its Armed Assault counterpart. For starters, its muzzle velocity has been further reduced to 825 m/s (down from 850 m/s)[A2CfgM 2], and its accuracy has been made worse as it now has ~ 22% increased dispersion (up from 0.0008 rad to 0.001 rad).[A2CfgW 1]

The sole "upgrade" that ArmA 2's PKM gains is the ability to change its zeroing settings. It is now possible to manually adjust the PKM's zeroing up to a maximum of 1,500 metres.[A2CfgW 8] However, this "upgrade" is minor at best given all the drawbacks that it now has. Not to mention that the modernised Russian-made PKP and American M240 machine guns both have sub-variants that are fitted with optical sights, making them much better GPMGs to choose in lieu of the PKM.

Ironsights[]

Arma2-pkm-ironsight-overview

The PKM's ironsights allow for a minimum zeroing of 100 metres up to a maximum of 1,500 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500).[A2CfgW 8] By default, it is set to a zeroing setting of 100 metres.[A2CfgW 9]

Ammo parameter 7.62 mmR (Ball)
Base damage value 12[A2CfgA 1]
Aerodynamic friction -0.00096[A2CfgA 2]
Muzzle velocity (m/s) 825[A2CfgM 2]
Expected velocity (m/s) 900
[A2CfgA 3][note 1]
Deflection angle (degrees) 10°[A2CfgA 4]

PKMs can only load one type of "magazine".[A2CfgW 7] Each magazine will need at least two[A2CfgM 3] free inventory slots to carry:

PKM Mag.[]

100-round metal ammobox containing a belt loaded with a mix of 7.62 mmR ball and tracer ammunition (using a split of 71/29).[A2CfgM 4]

Every fourth round fired will emit a visible green tracer.[A2CfgM 5] The last four rounds of the ammobox's belt will always emit visible tracers.[A2CfgM 6]

Trivia[]

  • Prior to the latest Steam version patches, the PKM had a slightly higher muzzle velocity of 850 m/s but could only be zeroed up to a maximum of 1,000 metres. Zeroing limits were subsequently increased to 1,500 metres as part of the CorePatch/Community Configuration Project updates, but the PKM's muzzle velocity was reduced to 825 m/s.[7]
  • At release, the PKM's sight picture was incorrectly depicted and was also only fixed after the release of the CorePatch updates.[7]
  • An unused variant of the PKM that does not block the user's backpack slot was added with CorePatch's release (Classname: PK_Small)[7], though it cannot be equipped without the use of scripting commands or a custom addon as no supply crates have it stocked by default.

Trivia[]

  • Initially, Reforger's PKM did not allow the user to deploy its bipod. The functionality was only added after Update 0.9.6 was released.[8]
  • Prior to the first Ground Support update, the PKM's belts only weighed 1 kg. The patch subsequently refactored Reforger's weighting system and now properly accounts for each individual round on the belt.[9]
  • Throughout Reforger's Early Access period and even post-1.0 launch, the PKM was shared by both Soviet military forces and FIA guerillas. Update 1.1 would replace man-portable FIA PKMs with the (then-new) UK-59L, making the PKM a Soviet-exclusive GPMG as part of changes introduced in the Resistance Ops patch (though the FIA still have static/vehicle-mounted PKMs and PKMTs for their BTR-70s).[10]
    • Update 1.1 also applied a slight nerf to the static PKM by increasing its reloading time to a total duration of 7.5 seconds.[10]
  • When the PKM was originally featured in the Early Access, only two magazines were available in Arsenal Box crates. This continued to be the case even after Update 1.0's release until Update 1.2, which added an extra magazine that is exclusively loaded with LPS cartridges and has no tracer rounds.[11]
    • The patch also added two new magazines for the PKMT specifically due to the addition of defensive weaponry for the Mi-8MT helicopter: one with an LPS-exclusive loadout and a second that has a 2:1 LPS/7T2 mixed loadout.[11]
  • The PKMN sub-variant was not added into Reforger until the release of Update 1.3.[12][13]
    • Update 1.3 also significantly increased the cost of its magazines (for man-portable PKMs and static/vehicle-mounted counterparts alike).[12][13]

Notes[]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
  2. ↑ Does not apply to the hidden PKM variant (PK_Small).
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 This value only applies to the ammunition's base muzzle velocity value. The weapon itself applies a coefficient to the ammunition's muzzle velocity value, which determines the actual muzzle velocity of the ammunition when it is fired.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 The bullet projectile's muzzle velocity at the time of leaving the barrel can randomly have this amount of velocity added or reduced. This is randomised and will not consistently be the same each time a round is fired.
  5. ↑ This multiplier increases the dispersion diameter, making the bullet projectile less accurate at long distances.
