The venerable RPK light machine gun is a mainstay of post-Soviet armories worldwide, none more so than that of Russia. A lightweight and durable machine gun, the RPK's ease of maintenance and impresssive rate of fire have made it a formidable complement to the masses of AK-armed soldiers that typically accompany the average RPK user. With both AK-style magazines and the more distinctive drum magazine characteristic of the weapon, the RPK can be maneuvered into position easily and used with frightening results by a well-trained gunner.
Whether the Russian armed forces' RPK gunners are all well-trained is debatable, but the volume of RPKs fielded is not.
