Trivia
- PKM does not have the burst-fire mode in real-life, it only fires in full-auto.
- This is the only machine gun in-game that has a burst-fire mode. However, its version in Counter-Strike Online 2 only has automatic mode.
- Although in-game it uses 7.62 NATO, when you purchasing the PKM in-game it states that it is chambered with 7.62×54mm Russian.
