Update: it looks like Infinity Ward has stealth nerfed the pkm a couple weeks ago which is why Drift0r got different results. The numbers in this video are the most current. No need to hate on Drift0r here since his numbers were accurate when he tested them several weeks ago

I love the PKM. I was a SAW gunner in Afghanistan so I’m completely biased. But - I’m terms of team play, I get 0 gripes considering I can take out any aerial kill streaks in a matter of seconds, cover a large field of fire effectively and allow my run and gunners to do their thing with less risk. Teamwork, man.
Driftor got his numbers before the Season 1 patch. All LMGs got nerfed not listed in the patch notes. No longer are they two shot headshots and consistent 3 shot kills. I can confirm from my own testing as well as gameplay with literally all LMGs with gold camo that isnt the Holger
Can we talk about how all XP tokens start counting down as soon as you activate them? They should be only active during matches. And the spawns are still ridiculous. I can't tell you how many times I've spawned in and immediately died from a round to the back of my head.
yeah I don't like how the timer runs as soon as it's activated. really should be match time only. and I have the same spawn problem. spawn in take a step or two and dead. shit in the back. spawn in again go right to doing a 180 and only get half way to get shot in the side of the head.
don't know who thought having the tokens run not on game-time was a good idea... and I've literally seen myself on the kill cam after dying how I popped up when respawning on a sniper scope...
haha yeah i had a game today on dom we had a home flag and b flag pretty standard and on hackney yard i spawned next to 2 ppl mid map despite having having 2 flags i assumed they was teammates and insta died. Ridiculous.
I CAN'T BELIEVE you didn't include the special underbarrel grip this weapon has. Such a big miss, this is one of the unique and most OP things about this weapon!
He probably isn't going to answer because he is on vacation at the moment, but maybe he is checking comments. I run snatch grip on my PKM setup personally.
I started using this yesterday just to try something different and I absolutely loved it . I went 50-11 in a shoot house lobby with ease, it melts people and with the 150 round mag you do not have to worry about reloading often.
Nathem Kurplunksky I would almost never recommend putting extended mags/belts on weapons that come standard with 100 rounds, especially when they’re 3-4 shots to kill. Besides, the 150 round belt isn’t even exclusive to the PKM as you have it for the M91 as well. Speaking of the M91, that thing is so underrated. It’s great as a long range LMG as well as an assault rifle replacement with its mobility build.
My ideal setup with it is :Sight of choice :snatch grip :FSS close quarter stock :compensator :Stipple grip This is literally the op ground war all rounder setup in my opinion because this thing will ads as fast as a ar and maneuver as fast and still have low easy recoil. Puts the ak to shame
I run pretty much the same setup with a thermal optic, I don't remember the name of it, but it's the one that shows up black, and white, either way, this setup shreds.
I run pretty much this setup apart from fss cqs, I run the 18" barrel instead, I run the hybrid sight so I can switch from short to long range engagements
crash 24/7 failed, idk i haven’t really been playing alot since it came on mw simply because im too old to be getting really pissed off at a video game lmao but i do like shoothouse, all i know is crash was terrible on this game
I prefer the M91 because I have easier time hitting my long range shots with it. And it’s also a 3 shot kill. I have it ranked to the max level and it’s a lot of fun for ground war.
yeah nothing on the snatch grip, and nothing on whether it's true that no-stock is worse for ADS than the other ADS stock. Extremely surprising too since generally, the Snatch is considered the best in slot for the PKM Makes this video less than helpful for those who already know about the gun and its benefits. A decent primer, sure, but not useful for me and more "advanced" users of the PKM since we don't get that info
@@GGMOBBIN Well the snatch grip is exclusive to the PKM and for good reason. It noticeably increases your recoil control as well as increases your aiming speed. I don't remember at which level you unlock it at, but you can always see the effects of the snatch gripped PKM in custom games. All guns, attachments, and perks are automatically unlocked in that mode.
Id like to see a guide on the Oden. Its a pretty weird gun and im wondering how the colossus suppressor works specifically, but also how slows its ads and sprint outs are compared to other ARs
Most underrated gun in the game. I think it’s the second best gun in the game behind the m4. I also enjoy the Kilo and do well with it for some reason. The m13 seems to be a little weak and I was hoping it was better.
The m13 is like the Aug, it's bridges the gap between the smgs and Ars, I find that the attachments make all the difference for this gun, I use the marksman barrel, compensator, 300 blackout rounds, commando grip, and 480 Pro sight for longer ranged engagements, however I think the m4 can out gun this setup, it's still a might fine gun with these attachments on, and it's pretty stealth with the 300 blackout rounds as there no visible tracers and no skulls visible on death
I've just started using the PKM and am loving it, definitely an underused and underrated weapon in both MP and WZ. I run - monolithic suppressor - Vlk scope - Tac laser - strap grip And the 1st stock available (can't remember the name) The Ads is cut down so much and I noticed the Tac laser gave the biggest jump in this area
The devs might have made some changes and not put them in the patch notes so if sift or got his numbers even from just a few weeks ago they could be different
I'll never understand why they decided to add more AK recoil and cut down the FAL fire rate. I've been getting 1 framed by M4 users a lot lately after the nerf.
@@-BUGZ- I'm still using the FAL simply because it takes so long to rank up weapons in the assault rifle category, but all I can hope is that it doesn't get nerfed into the ground before I get it gold. Come to think of it, a lot of these more recent nerfs don't seem to make much sense. They've been nerfing good guns instead of keeping the most competitive guns in line with the others.
Driftor's stopping power video was also inaccurate; he mentioned that damage was doubled when stopping power was activated. In reality, it appears to be a 1.4x multiplier, as it always has been in every single CoD that had stopping power.
This gun, even just with a basic zoom optic on it and nothing else, is easier to get kills with than sniper rifles at long range, especially when fighting against snipers.
I was surprised how well some lmg's handled in this game. With the right positioning , gigity, you can have a successful K/D. Still not playing this game anymore but will always watch your vids. 🤓
GC 10 it’s not awesome compared to older cods in its prime, undoubtedly the most annoying cod because of sbmm, yeah they have an amazing gunsmith buut when combined with sbmm all i see is m4s mp5 and mp7, i really can’t blame anyone that doesn’t like this game it’s really not that fun
@@gc1087 Well because it isn't fun for me anymore. Maybe later down the road when a few things are worked on. I just feel at this point the game play mechanics are pushing players to play a certain way. IMO that isn't Fun to me. 🤓
I use this beast in Warzone, its literally a lazerbeam: 26.9 inch extended barrel, monolithic suppressor, snatch grip, stippled grip tape or tac laser, VLK 3x Optic
My personal class is with a riot shield, betty's, and concussions. I use it in hard point and to deal with funnels. I'll tell you what, its gnarly. You clear the point with the Pkm a concussion, then you toss out a mine and as soon as you have some teammates there you pull the shield out and take aggro. (People will hand said aggro to you just because you have a shield, it's so kind of them) I also use this set up to break and make choke points. Push through with a shield and a buddy, and then lock it down with the pkm. Its complete map control until someone copies me, then I hate them. So y'all better not use this, I'll be slightly agitated.
Ace in your other video covering the ADS times, you said that there’s no measurable change to adding extended mags on any weapon including PKM even with the 200 round mag with the exception of snipers
@TheXclusiveAce what about the Snatch underbarrel? TRY THIS PKM SET UP Muzzle: compensater Barrel: 18.2 compact barrel Underbarrel: snatch grip Rear Grip: stippled grip tape Stock: no stock The only downside is the amount of idle sway. This thing is an absolute monster, the ADS Is like a suped up SMG dropped a 102 and 19 the first hq match I played with it lol it
You can even take the Compensater off. I just had the set up and swapped the compensater for a sniper scope LOL so I'm sure you could easily run the 200 round mag on this beast!
I like this series. And I get why SMGs and assault rifles get a lot of love here, because they are very popular guns. But honestly I'm much more interested in the less used guns. Like sniper rifles. And lmgs and shotguns minus the 725... it would be nice to see those.
My pkm class 18.2 compact barrel Snatch grip 200 round belt Stippled grip FMJ to take out killsteaks like VTOLS EOD Hardline Battle hardened Strela-P C4 or molotov Stim
I know I personally lose a lot of 1 on 1 "surprise" fights with this weapon, due to them getting on me first. However, if I get the one kill, everyone behind him will usually die too. I have a very disproportional amount of multi-kills with this weapon. I've got play of the game a few times, those were with this gun.
@@xaviersaez310 I'm glad you think so. Make sure all your friends know. Joking aside it's made for a specific set of tasks, less run & gun/ room clearing and more choke point/ lane management. Its pretty good on hard point, which is my preferred mode.
I think you're onto something. Doing the weapon master mission the other day using the m91 (?) I got a 3 kill multi and a few doubles due to that long magazine. Definitely reloading a 30 mag keeps you backing off that little bit. Good to have these varying playstyles, I'm digging COD after battlefield been letting me down last few years.
@@TheRealTanSeekerI think its more than mag sizen although that's definitely part of it. i think this gun wins in a flat "already aiming" shootoff. It's really a matter of ADS time as to who wins that first engagement. (Also, I'm not very quick)
If I wanna use the PKM, I'll use the 200 round magazine when I have it unlocked alongside the other attachments that'll increase movement speeds after I fully level the new Holger LMG.
Definitely my favorite LMG, it's a beast. Surprised you didn't cover the snatch grip in unique attachments though, considering it gives faster ADS and recoil control. Also would have liked to see your testing on stock, apparently drift said the CQC stock actually gives faster ADS than No stock attachemnt.
I think these are about the best set-ups for this gun, mainly because of mobility and practicality. 18.2” Compact Barrel Snatch Grip Stippled Grip or Rubberized grip FSS Close Quarters Stock, Forge Tac Ultralight or no stock (optional) Sleight of hand, any optic or 150 round belt.
I am a poor skilled player, but I found my success with PKM. Long barrel, 3x scope, recon perk. Sit and camp in ground war. I was able to call my first gunship, I could not have done it with any other method.
as of today, the 200 round belt converts the 7.62x54mm rounds to HEI rounds - as far I've seen the effects are just visual but it feels like it had more impact
Surprised he didn’t mention the “suppression” effect of getting shot at by the pkm (maybe all lmgs) but there is noticeable screen shake when someone is gunning at me with a pkm.
Its been a trend that i prefer your style ace over drift0rs. Mostly because you are to the point and don't get off topic with in video adverts and you make sure your data is accurate till the moment upload
I go LMG sniper mode with this gun. One of my favorite guns in the game, even though it is not always best to use. I run it Extended Barrel (occasionally Heavy) FFS Close Quarters Stock, Snatch Grip, Stippled Grip Tape, and either the VLK 3.0x Optic or one of the shorter range optics, depending on situation. It shines on certain maps and game modes, but can be very bad in other maps/modes. If everyone is running SMGs and shotguns for instance, you should switch off (assuming they are running them because it is more of a CQ map).
I like the m91, a bit slower but actually much more reliable for spraying at range. Rpk 750rpm is to fast for mid/long rang as you misses more shots. Rpk is way better at close range though
In my opinion I think the PKM is the best lmg in the game as it has a lot of damage,good recoil,good range properties and overall I think it is a pretty good gun and the only real downside is that aim down sight speed.
Nerfing ALL LMGs in the S1 update was a dick move. Besides the PKM, which was always considered good, they were ok. In a game with fast TTK they had their niche in the long range, as ARs outclass them heavily with about half the ADS and first shot fired without delay. Also mobility is heavily limited with LMGs, the big drum mag counts for nothing if people rush you and you are dead. BTW: The PKM was never a sleeper or underrated. Everybody and their grandmother praised it since release. Hence the nerfs.
Awesome. I love having no idea if my favorite gun will be better or worse the next day because they can’t be bothered to tell us anything.....some real winners over at IW...
1. Please do these videos on secondaries too after you've done so for all the primaries. Love them. 2. Does aiming stability only affect your first shot accuracy or does it affect your follow up shots (for full auto guns)?
Would love to see you cover the lasers, I know you don't like using the 5mw and Tac, but I'm on PC and to me, ads speed and sprint to fire is much more important than the con of the laser itself. But i don't know if its enough ADS speed/Sprint to fire to make up for it.
Update: it looks like Infinity Ward has stealth nerfed the pkm a couple weeks ago which is why Drift0r got different results. The numbers in this video are the most current. No need to hate on Drift0r here since his numbers were accurate when he tested them several weeks ago
Hasn't IW been stealth nerfing plenty of other guns too? I heard the FAL got a fire cap reduction and the AK definitely has more kick.
Ahhhhhhhhh I see said the blind man

Hey ace what about the snatch grip? Its a underbarrel that decreases recoil and increases ads speed.
It's honestly a crime he didn't mention it. Any self respecting PKM user runs that shit on every build.
I use that in place of the laser.

Bruh the Snatch Grip is a + it's weird to run Drum Mag over it

I have a very disproportional amount of multi-kills with this weapon. I've got play of the game a few times, those were with this gun.
your setup is terrible.
@@xaviersaez310 I'm glad you think so. Make sure all your friends know.
Joking aside it's made for a specific set of tasks, less run & gun/ room clearing and more choke point/ lane management.
Its pretty good on hard point, which is my preferred mode.
@@xaviersaez310 if you read my other comment it explains it further.
I think you're onto something. Doing the weapon master mission the other day using the m91 (?) I got a 3 kill multi and a few doubles due to that long magazine. Definitely reloading a 30 mag keeps you backing off that little bit. Good to have these varying playstyles, I'm digging COD after battlefield been letting me down last few years.
@@TheRealTanSeekerI think its more than mag sizen although that's definitely part of it. i think this gun wins in a flat "already aiming" shootoff. It's really a matter of ADS time as to who wins that first engagement.
(Also, I'm not very quick)
If I wanna use the PKM, I'll use the 200 round magazine when I have it unlocked alongside the other attachments that'll increase movement speeds after I fully level the new Holger LMG.
I LOVE the pkm. Although I do run the 200 rd belt and the snatch grip.
Definitely my favorite LMG, it's a beast. Surprised you didn't cover the snatch grip in unique attachments though, considering it gives faster ADS and recoil control. Also would have liked to see your testing on stock, apparently drift said the CQC stock actually gives faster ADS than No stock attachemnt.
I think these are about the best set-ups for this gun, mainly because of mobility and practicality.
18.2” Compact Barrel
Snatch Grip
Stippled Grip or Rubberized grip
FSS Close Quarters Stock, Forge Tac Ultralight or no stock
(optional) Sleight of hand, any optic or 150 round belt.
I love the iron sights on this
Great vidéo ! I want the mg34 video soooooo bad
I love this gun! I got it gold! I use mono suppressor, snatch grip, 150 ammo, sovo thermal optic, 26.9 barrel and I wreck shop!
I practically use the same loadout for my pkm lol
I am a poor skilled player, but I found my success with PKM. Long barrel, 3x scope, recon perk. Sit and camp in ground war. I was able to call my first gunship, I could not have done it with any other method.
Yes! Thanks for this. My first Golden Weapon
I like how they added the slight shot delay on the open bolt guns.
It's kinda nice, because you don't get immediately deleted by an MG camper if your round the corner head-first right into one
Thank you I’ve been asking. I just got to the pkm gold Thursday.
as of today, the 200 round belt converts the 7.62x54mm rounds to HEI rounds - as far I've seen the effects are just visual but it feels like it had more impact
Dumb that laser for the under barrel that increases ads a d recoil control. Its sick
Ace you are the beat. Thanks for making this content.
Surprised he didn’t mention the “suppression” effect of getting shot at by the pkm (maybe all lmgs) but there is noticeable screen shake when someone is gunning at me with a pkm.
You should do gameplay clips for all of the class setups discussed in the video!
hey Ace when you do further "test shots" at the wall, I would go a little bit to the right and avoid shooting the kids lol
This is my favorite weapon in the game reminds me of the rpd in mw2
AnAverageFan you can make the rpd with ak attachments
Well, both Soviet lmgs
Pregasus _ ak isn’t rpd
Its been a trend that i prefer your style ace over drift0rs.
Mostly because you are to the point and don't get off topic with in video adverts and you make sure your data is accurate till the moment upload
My fav loadout
I go LMG sniper mode with this gun. One of my favorite guns in the game, even though it is not always best to use. I run it Extended Barrel (occasionally Heavy) FFS Close Quarters Stock, Snatch Grip, Stippled Grip Tape, and either the VLK 3.0x Optic or one of the shorter range optics, depending on situation. It shines on certain maps and game modes, but can be very bad in other maps/modes. If everyone is running SMGs and shotguns for instance, you should switch off (assuming they are running them because it is more of a CQ map).
I'd love to see a video on the M91 to see how it stacks up to the PKM since I personally prefer how it feels.
Same. I imagine the comparison videos will come after the gun guide for the M91.
I like the m91, a bit slower but actually much more reliable for spraying at range. Rpk 750rpm is to fast for mid/long rang as you misses more shots. Rpk is way better at close range though
@@tlc3636 there are no RPK in MW19.
The snatch forgrip which is xclusive to it is over looked as one of the better attachments in the game. Try it out.
Really hope to see the Model 680 or P90 for your next video.
Maybe FAL next 🤔
In my opinion I think the PKM is the best lmg in the game as it has a lot of damage,good recoil,good range properties and overall I think it is a pretty good gun and the only real downside is that aim down sight speed.
Is it possible they slightly nerfed it in 1.11? Drift0r is usually on point
Thank you so much, Ace. Your videos are always helpful!!
PKM is my favorite LMG ,holger 26 is next in line
The warzone beast.
You should make a a video that really goes into all lethal and tactical equipment.
Love that roast to driftor... Ahhhh UA-cam is great 😂
When was that?

Nerfing ALL LMGs in the S1 update was a dick move. Besides the PKM, which was always considered good, they were ok. In a game with fast TTK they had their niche in the long range, as ARs outclass them heavily with about half the ADS and first shot fired without delay. Also mobility is heavily limited with LMGs, the big drum mag counts for nothing if people rush you and you are dead.
BTW: The PKM was never a sleeper or underrated. Everybody and their grandmother praised it since release. Hence the nerfs.
could we get a brief over view of the pistols? just TTK & Ranges?
I run the hybrid acog on this and it shreds at med/longish range, I love it
Good Pkm class for warzone: monolithic suppressor, 26.9 barrel, tad laser, snatch grip, and stripped grip tape.
Awesome. I love having no idea if my favorite gun will be better or worse the next day because they can’t be bothered to tell us anything.....some real winners over at IW...
Could you do one of the pistols? Maybe the 1911?
1. Please do these videos on secondaries too after you've done so for all the primaries. Love them.
2. Does aiming stability only affect your first shot accuracy or does it affect your follow up shots (for full auto guns)?
It got a buff. The 200 round mag can allow this weapon to hold 600 in reserve instead of 400 now
Would love to see the sa87 next. I love to play with it and I want to know what you have to say about it. Great video btw :D
Love the pkm, first gun I got gold on
A video on the Oden would be nice, it’s been bodying me, it’s looking like it has one of the fastest TTKs
Awesome vid as usual 👌🏼
So the 1st class set up you got is better than the RPK?
How much time do you spend to fully level up a gun?
Would love to see you cover the lasers, I know you don't like using the 5mw and Tac, but I'm on PC and to me, ads speed and sprint to fire is much more important than the con of the laser itself. But i don't know if its enough ADS speed/Sprint to fire to make up for it.
I use the exact same set up as the first load out! I just use compensator instead of 1mw laser !! :)
Do one of the marksman rifles next!
Just wondering. Why do you use the 26.9 barrel instead for 25.9 for your long range build? 25.9 gives longer range and faster movement than the 26.9.
Love the PKM. Have it gold.
Pkm my top lightMachinegun on modern warfare let’s gooooooooooooooooo 👌this modern warfare just beautiful 😍
