6:28 - I said that about all LMGs. Get it right.

The trigger delay is actually because most LMGs and HMGs fire from an open bolt. This means the bolt releases with the trigger pull, chambers the round and fires it and resets the bolt. Having an open bolt reduces the heat left in the chamber that could cook off ammo and damage the gun. Props to NWI for accuracy in this game.

LMGs are the SUVs of FPS games, they're big and heavy, but also have lots of horsepower and torque and a 4wd system for extra stability, they lack manoeuvrability but the extra weight and 4wd keeps them firmly planted on the road, plus they can push smaller cars into trees.

Virgin SMG/Rifle CQB user vs GIGACHAD MG3 room clearer.

honestly one of the best guns in the game IMO. It drops fuckers in one shot and can basically be used like a semi auto Mosin if you get used to the delay. On top of that it's a fuggin machine gun and can shred people through walls. Point firing is controllable enough to sprint in to a building and mow the grass with shock and awe. Recoil isn't even that bad when controlled. It's also cheap and doesn't need attachments. Idk, I just never have a bad game with a PKM.

When I asked the devs why a 25 pound hunk of steel carrying an extra 6 pounds of ammo on a box rises to the sun like a yogi in the morning after 4 shots, the answer I got was that it was for balance against other fps games using LMGs as Assault Rifles. When I asked for evidence, they immediately went to CoD.

The 249 is gonna be sick to watch lmao. It’s shorter than the others, has the fire rate to back it up, and the ability to prefire while slicing the pie and still having 70 or more rounds left in the belt is batshit insane.

Yes,on paper the PKM has several negatives but in reality if you have a great map knowledge and positional talent you might find angles on every map where you can hold down whole streets with it and shred the enemy to pieces,and since it kills in few bullets the fact that you have 100 rounds is perfect. I like this gun very much, usually i bring it if there are no snipers available because with a 4 time scope and bipod,with precize bursts you can snipe with it.

The man does not miss. Funnily enough, 60m is almost dead on the mark where the PKM stops one-shotting heavy armor in the chest, at least according to the damage charts. It also never one-shots on lower limbs (forearm, calf) at any range. Granted, neither does the M240 or MG3 (though both of those one shot heavy armor in the chest up to ~150m) Also, if you ask me, I feel like a good player can go a lot further with an M240/MG3 than with an M249 + 2pts of stuff, just because the penetration and range gives it so much more flexibility on where someone can set up. But then again, camping is one thing in coop, in versus it's a different thing so ymmv

You can turn an ak into anything

At least it sounds like a jackhammer

Just in case anyone hasn't mentioned it yet since I'm mostly a Coop player; at around 5:00, you're engaging a wave of Bangers. Not only do these bots run much faster than other bots or players, but they ALSO have increased health for some fucking reason. Not even the Mosin-Nagant can one-shot a Banger at point-blank range. It's pretty cringe. Edit: Oh, and also, the MG3 is laughably easy to spray in close quarters.

We need a super shorty for insurgent and ump45 for security

Lmfao that Ukraine joke held up

If you out of ammo with any of the machine guns, grab another one of the ground. Especially in cooop

When he called a 7x62 a lil bitch round ahahahahaha

Im at level 842 i wont stop playing sandstorm until i get to 1000 please end my suffering

PKM and M249 are the go to guns for classic Insurgency 2 players (like me) who are very allergic to weight or are very keen to run to weird locations to get a crazy angle.

Thanks to guest narrator Jordan Peterson

My dad is actually older than the PKM, but the original PK is older than my dad, so I award you 0.5 of the 1 points for that joke

I agree that it would be interesting to give LMGs normal recoil, but find a way to implement the worse handling of this platform to limit the running and gunning. For the "lack of accuracy", I think it's more a matter of weird hitreg that has been in Sandstorm for quite some time where you're dead on target but your shots don't register. I mean, I don't call it the One Tap M for nothing because, when hitreg doesn't fuck you over, you have an SVD with 100 rounds if you can hit that first shot. As for the 1 shot consistency, the same can be said about the MG3 and M240B. Hell, I find it happens even more often with the others if you hit arms or something. That said, the fire rate can really screw you over when one guy crossing a street has the luck to never be in your sights the moment a bullet fires. On the plus side, it makes you conserve ammo more so it gives you more freedom with sustained suppressive fire.

As a habitual PKM user I’ve got a few tips. Never ever shoot it while standing. Go crouch. If you’re room clearing, don’t even bother with the iron sights. I’m pretty sure most of my PKM kills come from hip fire while room clearing.

PKM tap fire is insane. The iron sight is amazing. It can do pretty much anything it just has slow ads

Fun fact: About like 4 of these in a 11 man squad was what cause Lone Survivor(read the reports of operation red wing its actually stupid how rigged the game was). If this isn't proof of Tactics > Equipment than idk what is.

2:22 - I don't care where he's aiming, only thing i see here is shells and belt parts landing on the edge.

In the Middle East the PK is also called the Pishaka for how it bloody it would leave its victims

It probably won't happen, but I have some ideas on how to make MGs better but balanced 1. less recoil than BRs because they're super heavy 2. a more substantial stamina penalty while running and a stamina penalty for aiming while standing 3. no stupid long animation for setting the gun on something with the bipod 4. make it so the more weight you carry the slower your character comes to a complete stop

200 ROUND BATTE RIFLE

Despite the shortcoming of this PKM, I do like the design and sound of it. It may not do it's job well, but it is absolutely fun to use. That being said, I probably shouldn't use this gun for clearing rooms for fun. Also, hopefully the M249 would at least be a viable option for clearing rooms (even when it's not meant for that)

Da, PKM is excellent machine gun.👍 Sure, may not be as accurate as M240, or any other Machine gun, but still kicks ass. Is cheap, powerful, Slavic slaughterer. I run mine with compensater, optic,(usually PK-AS), and maybe laser if I have the points. I also like the PKM IRL, along with all the other old Soviet guns. My favorite part about coop is that you can use all the Insurgent equipment as Security meaning I get to use all the vintage Soviet guns to kill the Insurgents with their own guns. Plus, an added bonus is you can kill an Insurgent that has a PKM, and then your team has another gunner. Or you can just steal it and shoot off all his limbs and his head so he's just an armless, legless, headless thing rolling down the road, like turd in the wind. (Yes, that's a Venom reference).

RPK with a Bi pod and 4x scope and a flash hider.

Jokes on you my dad is slightly older than the PKM

God I love these videos. Keep up the fire. Where's my M82 .50?

Falling Down is a good movie. Would definitely recreate.

Nerf Mastodon....bruh your references next fucking level

I love the PKM. It is not my favorite weapon but whenever I use it I tend to be tops in kills for the match. Burst firing this thing seems unfair at times

7:26 Oh hey thats me lol right before you fired I thought "Yunno, I should probably get out of his line of fir-"

Insurgents gunners should get the rpk74 and rpd. Security gunners should get the mk48

Woke up this Sunday morning at 8am, saw this was uploaded so I had to smoke a couple cones and put this on. 👌🏽💦 Quality Content

Just saying because of the Falling Down reference I actually have a Will Foster skin I like to play with a proper basic uzi. I couldn't help myself when I realized I can make a pretty accurate skin.

You have clearly not experienced spraying down a whole wave of enemy spawn with a well positioned PKM/M240

This ones doing numbers

It's decent. I prefer it to MG3 when it comes to 4x scopes, thanks to lower/more manageable recoil.

I agree with the precision point u brought up about the Pkm. Normally I’ll run a m240b with a 3x scope on domination and u can damn near use it like a dmr if u tap fire it. I’ve tried doing the same thing with the pkm and it’s made me rage quit a couple of games because I’d know that I had my scope directly on someone’s chest and see a puff of dirt fly up instead of blood and then it will go to shit quickly. I normally run gunner every chance I get but I’ve been avoiding the pkm like the plague. I’ve heard multiple ppl say they love it but I’d rather just us the MG because Ik I’ll drop someone with that gun quicker even tho the recoil is bat shit insane on the MG

Back in the day if you knew what you where doing this was the god gun in pubs

The other day I was disgusted at you hyping up Ryan Gosling films, but now you’ve redeemed yourself with Falling Down, great film

I love your editing style. Nice work

What’s 4:15 from LMFAO

Sick snipes with pkm= Helen Keller with pkm 💀

I really love your video format

Hell yeah, Falling Down gang

Nice video upload and keep it up! Can you do M240B?

i love the PKM mostly for the sound design

I like the PKM because it's a 100 round dragunov One shots enemies

Sick Snipes, if you are reading this, this is the absolute peak Gun Guide and is my favorite video of yours. Please, make more content like this, maybe with the two new LMGs in Sandstorm

MORE DHAKA? MORE DHAKA!

1:42 no my father is older

Funny thing is in fact my dad is old than this gun he was born in the 50s

its my go too for pvp insurgency when im playing gunner, i prefer it over the mg3 cause the rpm of the mg is a bit much and i cant seem to hit targets too well from the recoil, shakes too much when prone, however i wont ever run a pkm without a 4x and a compensator so the shaking is bearable

Maybe a more effective way to convey the mass of machine guns would be to severely increase weapon sway? I've shot 8lbs of rifle while standing & without support, and keeping the sight on a small target is difficult at best. Shouldering 20lbs+ would absolutely suck.

LMGS have been use as weapon for support fire since they can shoot alot more bullets then Assault rifles and also who would be crazy enough to run through Warzone with full kit PKM

It's so weird that game devs don't understand the obvious way to balance MGs: instead of excessive recoil, just make it so carrying one makes you slow as fuck and have shit stamina. But I guess CoD kids will get mad if they can't sprint everywhere 24/7.

Maybe a bullpup version of this might be fun. For like 1 point you can move faster have less recoil and what not. Kind of like AK and ALPHA AK.

2:33 ;-; aged like milk

Big dakka need more love.

I hate the logic of making MGs bad by giving them high recoil. They weigh so much that wouldn't really be an issue. Give them slow ads, more sight wobble, hell more side to side recoil. But making them kick to the sky is stupid, lazy, and not fun in the slightest

your rant at 2:00 hit home

No mention of how the real PKM doesn't have a disintegrating belt; for shame

Well, PKM isnt in production anymore. We got PKP now. Yes its same thing with a handle on top, shut up!

Lovely video, the start reminded me of Ahoy. Keep up the good work.

Was too excited for this

great video

why don't games just do machine guns the same way day of defeat did them? the MGs in Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat Source where some of the best weapons in that game, but they we're countered by their recoil and soldier's armed with rockets.

Dope ass vid yo, dead ass, G

Farcry 2 PK recoil vibes

My dad is older than the pkm...😂

Gimme that PKM with a 2x/holo and a comp and I will hold that pathway.

Keep up the good work man

I knew it was pkm haha, yes

Wut, a PKM has nothing to do with the SVD except the caliber.

Fun fact - they often call it Pokemon in Ukraine

Still waiting for VHS -2 run down ? Nobody has done one?

Idk if anyone actually thought pkm was the best mg, or even close for that matter. I main the pkm because hipfire with 20% weight is fun

Lmao that Ukraine joke

4:14 - me everytime I dome my teammates

im almost dissapointed thi is actially a gun guide and not some weird random video lmao

claim your within an hour ticket here

m249 is 5.56, it doesn't one-shot like the other high caliber mg or does it? was i wrong not to choose m249 the whole time?

I main the PKM . It’s an a honest work .

Honestly like the pkm but I only use I on coop, I am pretty bad with lmgs against other players.

Ive been practicing recoil control on console by using the lmgs. Im getting better, but im still shooting the horizon sometimes

the PKM is more similar to the AK than the SVD in function it is essentially the the barrel and gas piston of an AK flipped upside down and fitted for 7.62x54r . it also has a similar recoil spring

They need to add a rpd

8:15 jacksfilms vomits milk

Why ads when room clearing when you can take 240b with extended mag and laser then run into the room

In conclusion the 240 kicks ass.

honestly why i prefer PKM than MG 3 because it have slower fire rate, easier to control tbh

Thumbs up for Falling Down 👍

Hey just to let you know they removed the bipod function on the ps
