Mind you that's how most medium machine guns are, this trate is shared with their other creations as well.

yep i have a PKM with wood furniture and it's definitely not a normal gun to field. Same with a m60e3, just so much weight over a length with poor sight aperture, it's rough to use. (other than working every squeeze unlike the ol`TOP m60 i had years ago...shake shake shake.)
it's actually a lot of work unless youre a huge build. I would suggest nothing bigger than a m249 TBH, it's just not the same game as the lay player or rifleman gets to play; unless you have experience with a super sized support weapon, start with a short LMG.
ps. finally got my 7.62x54mmR dummies from Poland, I am now allowed to use my PKM.
