Machine Guns

PK

A heavily-customized PK machine gun is the main firearm wielded by Grimaud (Ving Rhames). This particular machine gun has been fitted with mock MG42 type barrel above the real barrel to fit a scope and M16 type carry handle. Unmodified PK's are also seen in the film. The machine guns used in the film are original PK's rather than the later PKM's, as noted by their fluted rear barrels and larger curved gas blocks.
