In '83 it serves as the main anti-tank option available for infantry together with the more cumbersome, but reloadable M67 Recoilless Rifle.

One of the most recognizable LMG's of all time - the PKM remains in widespread service to this day and serves as the main LMG for the Soviet Ground Forces in '83.
Relatively light, rugged and reliable - it's a firearm one can depend on.
