RPK Features

The RPK is a select-fire gas operated light support weapon that runs on a long-stroke gas piston and 2-lug rotating bolt.  In short, the RPK is a beefed-up AKM with a longer 23.2 inch heavy-profile barrel equipped with a folding bipod.  It has a larger barrel trunion and an enlarged stock to provide a more durable and stable use.


RPK Ballistics

RPK Capacity

The RPK is chambered in either 7.62x39mm or 5.45x39mm.  In what is probably the smartest decision the Soviets ever made, the RPK is designed to use drum magazines as well as the standard curved box magazines that AK pattern rifles use.  This allows the light machine gun operators to use their comrades’ ammo if they run out in a gunfight.


Measuring just shy of 41 inches long and with an unloaded weight of 10.9 pounds, the RPK is an incredibly handy squad automatic weapon.  What it lacks in firepower and magazine capacity, it easily makes up for in mobility.  It’s definitely heavy for a rifle, but it’s light for a support weapon.  Its low weight and short length also make it a reasonable choice for urban operations.

RPK Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The controls on the RPK are all identical to the AKM.  The differences are the more front-heavy balance due to the longer barrel and bipod, and the addition of a larger buttstock which allows the user to place their support hand on to more comfortably fire the weapon.  The safety, charging handle, grip and magazine release are completely identical to the regular AKMs.

RPK Fit & Finish

The RPK shares parts commonality with all but 4 major components of the base-model AK.  This list includes the laminate stock, the enlarged barrel trunion, and the black-phosphate coated barrel and stamped receiver.  The rest of the gun is made with standard AK parts.  This means the quality of the gun is based on the factory where it was built.
