The '''PKM''' is a Tier One unlock in ''[[Battlefield 2]]'' for the [[Support]] kit. It possesses one of the highest damage values out of any handheld weapon in the game, as well as one of the most comparatively low spread and recoil values of the light machine guns. However, as with the other belt-fed machine guns, it has a comparatively long reload cycle.

The '''PKM''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield Heroes]]'', released with the [[Battlefield Heroes: Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company|Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company]] update. It is available to the [[Gunner]] class of the [[National Army]]. It is the counterpart of the [[Royal Army]] [[M249 SAW#Battlefield Heroes|M249]]. A [[Stolen and Pilfered weapons|pilfered]] variant of the PKM is also available to the Royal Army. The PKM is statistically identical to the [[MG 131#Battlefield Heroes|Wolfgang's Uber Wonderful]].
The PKM was released as part of the ''[[Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company]]'' event, and is available through the store to both the National Army and the Royal Army. The PKM has a 120 round magazine and works best at longer ranges, thanks to its low rate of fire and decent accuracy. However, as with all Gunner weapons, the PKM's accuracy degrades at extreme range, which can prove problematic on maps such as [[Midnight Madness]] and [[Sunset Showdown]], where long range firing is prevalent.

The '''Specialist's Tier 1 PKM''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield Heroes]]'', released with the ''[[Battlefield Heroes: Medal of Honor|Medal of Honor 2010]]'' update. It is available to the [[Gunner]] class of the [[National Army]]. It is the counterpart of the [[Royal Army]] [[M249 SAW#Battlefield Heroes|Tier 1 Elite M249]]. The Specialist's Tier 1 PKM is statistically identical to [[MG 131#Battlefield Heroes|The Uber Backscratcher]].
The Specialist's Tier 1 PKM was released as part of the [[Tier 1]] event, and acts as the close range machine gun variant of the PKM. The Specialist's Tier 1 variant has a 130 round magazine and a high rate of fire, making it very effective at close range encounters, but it's low accuracy means it is less effective at longer ranges. A special desert camouflage, similar to that of the Tier 1 Specialist outfit, is present on the weapon, but has very little use. Maps such as [[Riverside Rush]] and [[Victory Village]], where the fighting is mostly close range combat, are where the Specialist's Tier 1 PKM works very well, although other, more specialized weapons, such as shotguns and knifes, can be superior at those ranges.

The '''PKM LMG''' is a first light machine gun featurd in ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'', issued to the [[Medic]] kit. It boasts medium power and low recoil. For a starting weapon, the PKM is surprisingly effective having both considerable damage and high accuracy, even during prolonged bursts. While moving however, it suffers massive accuracy penalties, as do all other light machine guns. Its main drawback is the slow rate of fire, a common disadvantage for LMGs, which makes it inferior to most assault rifles when on the move. The addition of wide crosshairs and terrible accuracy when hip firing also place it below most other guns at close range. The PKM deals some of the most damage per second out of the LMGs, with good accuracy.

The PK (Russian: Пулемёт Калашникова Pulemyot Kalashnikova; English: Kalashnikov's machine-gun) is a Soviet general purpose machine gun designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the early 1960s. The PKM (Russian: Пулемёт Калашникова Модернизированный Pulemyot Kalashnikova Modernizirovannyĭ; English: Kalashnikov's machine-gun modernized) is an improved variant introduced in 1969. The machine gun and its variants were adopted by Soviet and later Russian armed forces. It fires 7.62x54mmR rounds at a rate of fire of around 750 rounds per minute up to an effective range of 1500 meters (1640 yards).

The PKT is a vehicle-mounted variant of the PKM. It is mounted coaxially on the T-90 tank. The PKP Pecheneg is a modernized version of the PKM.

"The 7.62mm PKM is a 16 kilo machine gun which has amazing firepower but extremely inaccurate due to its massive recoil. Best results are achieved when firing from prone, stationary position."

— In game description.

The PKM is a Tier One unlock in Battlefield 2 for the Support kit. It possesses one of the highest damage values out of any handheld weapon in the game, on par with the semi-automatic sniper rifles, as well as one of the most comparatively low spread and recoil values of the light machine guns. However, as with the other belt-fed machine guns, it has a comparatively long reload cycle.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

"Russian general purpose machine gun adopted worldwide for its rugged operation and reliability. With a high rate of fire and 7.62x54mm caliber it provides excellent long range capability."

— In-game description

The PKM LMG is a first light machine gun featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, issued to the Medic kit. It boasts medium power and low recoil. For a starting weapon, the PKM is surprisingly effective having both considerable damage and high accuracy, even during prolonged bursts. While moving however, it suffers massive accuracy penalties, as do all other light machine guns. Its main drawback is the slow rate of fire, a common disadvantage for LMGs, which makes it inferior to most assault rifles when on the move. The addition of wide crosshairs and terrible accuracy when hip firing also place it below most other guns at close range. The PKM deals some of the most damage per second out of the LMGs, with good accuracy.

Battlefield 3

The PKT is a weapon featured in the singleplayer of Battlefield 3 and is used by passengers riding in the BMP-2M. It is also used as the coaxial light machine gun for the T-90A and BMP-2M. It performs similarly to its Bad Company 2 equivalent, allowing a driver with the Coaxial LMG vehicle specialization to be more effective against infantry.

The PKP Pecheneg is a modernization of the PKM much like the AK-74M is to the AK-74. It is available for Support class as an unlockable weapon.

Trivia

  • In Battlefield Play4Free, the Veteran PKM and Elite PKM were originally separate variations of the default PKM, different firing rates and values. Like most other Veteran and Elite weapons, they were later made into skins, only differing ascetically.
