[Set] PKM machine gun replica - Polymer stock [A&K] + 5000rd Electric Box Magazine For PKM [A&K]

I recommend buying this LMG.
Mine LMG came as the new variant - new hop ul chamber, new version of ammo box with black insert not the green one.
I played one game and I enjoyed it. Mind the fact this is considered as LMG, it weights with full magazine of .25g bbs and battery around 9kgs. It was quite a workout carrying this LMG whole day on milsim.

Watch out for the carry handle / barrel disassembly. If you carry lmg whole day by this part, you may damage body of the LMG. Consider buying AK type sling for the LMG, it is then way much easier.

Big gun for big guy, I like it.

Build quality is good, just need to glue in a specific part of the gas tube when it starts wobbling, or else the entire barrel will wobble.

Gearbox is solid, KEEP IT AS IS. Best to just run it stock until something breaks, then tune more. It was nice already and me trying to make a minor adjustment almost blew a gear out. Warranty voided, but the gun is worth it.

Might daytona it in the future, might keep it as a tuned AEG. Possibly AEG, since it needs that round count. Also thinking of the retroarms gearbox to make it stand the winter with a really heavy spring.

Received mine last week and am happy to say that it performed very well.

The box mag insert is the new "black turbine" model which is WAY more reliable and performant than the old "green" ones.

All of the screws, grip and stock are well tightened with no wobble, creaks or movement at all.

Wiring is well done, no cracks or tearing in any of the shielding.

I did have to "shim" the hop-up nub as it was having issues hoping over 0.25 BB's... but this was trivial and rather common on A&K MG hop ups.

With a 7.4V Titan battery, the ROF is ~13-15 (depending on what chrono brand I used). An 11.1V Titan battery yielded a ROF of ~20.

The air seal seems consistent with the targeted FPS varying by a maximum of 5fps.

I did remove the ROF control board as I have no need for it. It is a very easy process as A&K provide a bypass in the box.

I played a weekend skirmish and shot close to 15000 rounds with no issues. The PKM ran flawlessly.

I did have to change the spring to a 100m/s one to achieve 0.95-0.98J (Ireland has a 1 Joule limit).

In testing, a 110m/s spring yielded ~1.2J and the stock spring was regrettably useless, only providing 0.5J.

The above had the hop set for 0.25 BBs.

I've had great success with A&K Machine guns, using them exclusively for well over a year now. They have worked well in both cold rainy weather and on humid hot days. They survived Milsim use as well as Skirmish days only needing general maintenance/cleaning.

I can recommend this PKM (and the wood furniture model) with no hesitations... as long as you can lift/move with them, give them care and use high quality BB's. these will treat you very well!

They are rare they are annoying in maintenance and they break often. As pkm user be advised having 2-4 boxes as spares becausr tinkering around wires and repairing these mags is a must in the end.
But damn 5k capacity is bloody nice trust me

I recently purchased the 2024 version of the A&K PKM. It came with a box mag that had a updated insert (black in color) that utilizes a turbine style feed system instead of the "old" winding spring style (green insert).

Suffice it to say that the new black insert is wonderfully more reliable, quiet and consistent. I've put well over 75,000 BB's through it and it's performance has been perfect.

Shortly after, I decided to order 2 additional box mags as having backups is always a necessity for milsims and skirmishes far away. Even though the images on this product page show the "old" green insert, I still ordered them as it would be better than nothing if my original box mag somehow died.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that when these arrived, they contained the new updated black turbine system.

I'm over the moon not having to deal with the common green insert issues (stripped plastic gears, faulty switch, loose wiring, etc.).

These new black inserts are wired much more robustly, and because of the turbine feed system, there is no plastic gear array that can strip or crack. The switch in the black ones seems much more stiff and well mounted.

The turbine system resembles/mimics "other" popular aftermarket inserts so the design seems much more serviceable, durable and thought out.

I hope Taiwangun updates this product page with new images and description, because these are a huge leap in reliability and design compared to the old green insert ones.

If you have a PKM... get these now. I could not recommend them enough!

I received my PKM two weeks ago. And i am very disappointed a total waste of money!
I have many problems with this replica and now i am trying to fix it!
First it came without one of the screws that holds the gearbox.
Second on the first use the ROF stoped working so i used the plug included it the box and the replica started working.
Third on the game the fuse blown and gears jammed i removed the fuse and unjammed the gears.
Fourth it shoots VERY inconsistent first 2-3 shoots are 1.7j a then starts shooting below 0.5j!
Fifth the gas tube/block is VERY wobbly it's annoying.

Amazing replica, without doubt a perfect PKM, as stock it shoots and behaves above what i thought. I had mine for a skirmish, just amazed how 5000bbs are used so fast. Barely needs any upgrades for niw, but will upgrade soon with taiwan parts
