BTW, that stance is literally exactly the correct way to fire anything on full auto.

Still ridiculous that it’s a PKM doing it.

Are you sure that’s the right way to fire it?

It’s awfully close to his face.

How much experience do you have firing fully automatic firearms?

Absolutely none.

Okay excellent.

You’re wrong.

That stance is exactly the correct way to fire a full automatic, full power firearm.  It’s still pretty ridiculous that it’s a PKM.  The combination of pretty powerful round and lightweight weapon make it difficult.  However, the PKM does have a relatively low rate of fire among GPMG’s, which makes it much more controllable than other examples in the same class.

I’ve never shot a PKM, specifically, but the M60 is shockingly easy to fire standing. The muzzle rise and the weight of the muzzle are roughly equal, so it gets all floaty when it shoots and you don’t hardly have to use any muscle.

I wonder what the chances are the PKM has a similar trait?

It’s the balance, to be honest.  The M240 is ridiculously front heavy, and the buttstock doesn’t have any of the action inside of it.  The PKM is the same, but it’s also like a goddamn skeleton, because LOL Russian MG design is weird, and the buttstock is possibly the densest portion of the weapon.  

The M60 is just perfectly balanced.
