Romanian RPK Light Machine Gun
The Romanian RPK is an extended length squad automatic weapon based on the Kalashnikov series of rifles. The RPK is a bolstered version of AKM, designed to serve as a squad automatic weapon, and has most of the same features as a standard AKM. Like the AKM, the Romanian RPK started seeing production in the early 1960’s. The RPK features a 1.5mm stamped sheet metal receiver, and a bulged trunnion, designed for sustained fire and durability. The RPK has a 590mm (23.2 inches) barrel, a unique club-foot style stock, which allows the gunner to use the stock as a brace for sustained fire.
