>That looks less like a rifle and more like some kind of pintle mount or tripod machinegun modified to be carried and fired.
Yeah I know. It's for a mech mech game that plays kinda quake-like. The point was that they made the otherwise typically uninteresting basic automatic weapon look cool and unique as opposed to the one in nuQuake. Same goes for the biomechanical one in Prey (particularly the scope, which is a tentacle that lashes out and attaches to your eyeball)

>Some Syrian rebel, what he has is a PKM, but not a regular Squad Automatic style of PKM, rather one which you'd mount on top of a tank, notice the thick barrel for prolonged fire, and modified grip (on a tank it would have a solenoid attached for shooting), as well as a near chainsaw style of front grip added.
I think the modified short-barrel RPDs used in rhodesia are another cool example of a weapon improvised into a role it's not intended for. Note that it's actually belt-fed and the "drum magazine" just contains a rolled-up belt.
