PKM

PK (Pulemyot Kalashnikova) was developed in 1960's as a replacement for WW2-era SGM machinegun and as a general-peurpose MG. PK may be used with integral bipods or on lightweight tripod (then named PKS - PK Stankovyj - tripod mounted PK).
PK is a gas operated, rotating bolt, belt-fed machinegun. Since it uses old rimmed cartridge 7.62x54R, it has special design features - when chambering new loads, special extractor first retrieves new cartridge from the belt when bolt carrier moves back (spent case extracted simulateonously) and on its way forward feeds new cartridge into the chamber. Barrel is quick intergangeable, with chrome lined chamber and bore. PKM and PKMS are slighly improved (Modified) versions of PK and PKS, with reduced weight and increased reliability.

M249

The M249 SAWS is a lightweight, gas-operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, individually portable machine gun capable of delivering a large volume of effective fire. The M249 AR provides accurate fire approaching that of the rifle yet gives the heavy volume of fire common to a machine gun. The M249 replaces the two automatic M16A1 rifles in the rifle squad on a one-for-one basis in all infantry type units and in other units requiring high firepower. Fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAWS filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (M14 Series/M16A1 Rifles) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.

Ammo Type: 5.56x45mm
Belt Capacity: 200 Rounds
Special: Bipod
Role: Hand-held combat machine gun
Cycling rate: 725 RPM
Cost: $4,000 US

m82a2

Further development led to the M82A2 bull-pup rifle (1987), which was designed to be fired from the shoulder, but did not succeed, and was soon dropped from production. The M82A2 was obviously designed as a cheap anti-helicopter weapon, suitable for use against highly mobile targets when fired from the shoulder. The latest derivative of the M82 family is the M82A1M rifle, adopted by USMC as the M82A3 SASR and bought in significant numbers. This rifle differs from M82A1 in that it have a full length Picatinny rail that allows a huge variety of scopes and sighting devices to be mounted on the rifle. Other changes are addition of the rear monopod, slightly lightened mechanism and detachable bipod and muzzle brake. The Barrett M82 rifles were bought by various military and police countries from at least 30 countries, such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK, USA and others. The M82 also is widely used for civilian .50 caliber long range shooting competitions, being fired accurately out to 1000 yards (911 meters) and even further.
