Is the PKM worth it?

Re: Is the PKM worth it?

Idk, that is hard but overall the support weapons I go for the Pkm-74. It is the best accurate in my opinion, I've hit guyz in Zatar Wetlands with it on a hill over atleast 200m to even 280 meters with a simple control 2 burst shot of 6 bullets at the most. The SAW does what it needs to do, and it is better if he is closer than farther. And no one mentioned the Type 88 or w/e Chinese Support Which is considering I cant get one kill with it.
As for the PMK ... that is ur choice. I have the Spec./Med/Eng/Anti/Sniper unlocks on my side on one of my accounts and the Other has the rest(But I nolonger use that) and i prefer the regular support weapons over the PMK (unless its chinese). But in the end, It is going to be my next unlock before the G3, I can do better with the PMK then the G3 anyday.

[QUOTE=Wargimp]I like hard facts 'n numbers over speculation:


As you can see, the accuracy of the PKM vs the SAW is very close. About the only big differance is that the PKM has a much lower maximum deviation per shot, allowing you to go full auto for longer without lossing it's effectivness. It's also worth noting that since the PKM has a lower rate of fire, thoe penalties build more slowly as well.

I've also seen it argued that the SAW does more damage per minute, but that's also wrong:
SAW 900 rounds per minute X 25 = 22500
PKM 600 rounds per minute X 45 = 27000

Finally, something that isn't mentioned in the stats, but is worth thinking about is that the PKM has better penatration than the SAW. I've used my trusty PKM to cut down people on the other side of fences/walls more times than I care to confess.

SO!
If you play support, pick up the PKM.[/QUOtg per minute than ANY other support gun, here's a link: http://ubar.bf2s.com/kits.php
Scroll down to the PKM, 450rpm. Anyways, back on topic, i LOVE the PKM for support. Mows down men. If you try sniping while prone/zoomed, if you hit em in the head, it's a one hit kill. It's a great weapon, I dunno how, as the actual stats of the weapons say the RPK is better, but at least imo, the PKM>all other support guns.

RPK-74 is better.

To use an analogy the PKM is to the normal support LMGs what the M95 is to the normal sniper rifles.
I like it and use it when playing support, but if you don't like playing support it's a waste of an unlock.

PKM is great, I love going prone and mowing down guys like theres no tomorrow.

Re: Is the PKM worth it?

Oh, and just a warning, the PKM isn't as good as the SAW in CQC as it does less damage per second. Also, expect to ALWAYS die in CQC against something like a m4 as in order to be accurate, u must be prone and zoomed. Also, if you were nading dues non stop, and u still have nades out in CQC, it takes time to take out any support weapon. You take it out, and tkae out the bipod.

Re: Is the PKM worth it?

i personally dont like the PKM. i love the spec ops gun. i find the PKM very inaccurate even when prone. i very rarely use it because im not much of a support guy, i tend to overheat those types of weapons very quickly wich leaves me vulnerable. i cant overheat the specs ops so i use those.much better with singlw shot anyway.

Re: Is the PKM worth it?

I have the PKM and I love it. It is extremely powerful, and is a 1-hit kill on a headshot. It is one of my favorite unlocks, as it can mow down waves of enemies without running out of ammo. I have also used it to take down people at longer ranges, which is also fun. It takes some getting used to, but I think once you get used to it, it is one of the best guns in the game.
