“	The Russian made RPK was designed in parallel with the AKM series of assault rifles as a light machine gun, intended to replace the belt-fed RPD light machine gun. Touting a longer barrel, larger drum & banana magazines and integrated folding bipod, it is capable of much longer periods of sustained fire compared to its assault rifle cousin, making it an ideal weapon for beefing up a squad's immediate firepower.	„

Gameplay

The RPK Drum magazine holds 75 rounds.
Can be fired on automatic and semi-automatic.
The RPK is fitted with a deployable bipod.
The sights for the RPK include the iron sight.
- The iron sight allows the user to zero the rifle for different ranges (from 100m to 1000m).
The RPK has a unique damage model and ballistic performance.
- The 599 rounds per minute rate of fire is on the lowest end for an automatic weapon.
RPK is classified in-game as the Automatic Rifle. Typically, Automatic Rifles combine the handling characteristics of Rifles and Light Machine Guns. They have relatively higher sway and hip-fire recoil.
- However, the RPK's handling characteristics are a hybrid between Meidum Machine Gun and Automatic Rifles. It has recoil similar to Automatic Rifles but sway akin to Meidum Machine Guns.
- They output Light Machine Gun level of suppression effects, are relatively easy to point fire, and are effective at medium to long ranges.
The RPK will not hurt hostile armored vehicles, but it can be used effectively against non-armored Technicals, Light transport vehicles, or Logistics Trucks to kill or wound the occupants. It can destroy the Motorcycles.

History

The RPK is a gas-operated, rotating, closed-bolt light machine gun (LMG) and squad automatic weapon (SAW). It was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1961 to become a standardized replacement for the RPD submachine gun. The RPK is the modified LMG variant of Kalashnikov's creation, the AKM. The RPK has a heavier and longer barrel than the AKM, which can allow the gun to fire for a long period of time without loss of accuracy due to the barrel heating up. The RPK can either use a 45-round box magazine or a 75-round drum magazine. The RPK uses 7.62×39mm cartridges.

Trivia

The abbreviation RPK stands for Ruchnoy Pulemyot Kalashnikova (Ручной пулемёт Калашникова) which means in English from Russian, "Kalashnikov hand-held machine gun".
The RPK replaced the G3A3 + Drum in Middle Eastern Alliance's direct combat Automatic Rifleman role in Version 8.2
