This video from Forgotten Weapons explores an experimental Romanian paratrooper version of the PKM machine gun. Manufactured by Cugir in the 1990s, this variant features a shortened barrel and a unique side-folding stock, designed specifically for paratrooper and special operations units. Despite testing, Romanian forces did not adopt the model due to funding constraints and shifting military priorities after the Eastern Bloc's dissolution. Only 400 units were produced and sold to export clients. The example featured is equipped with a B&T-made Picatinny optics mount and a tai-rail handguard. The presenter thanks DSA for access to their reference collection.

This video from Forgotten Weapons debunks the common misconception that the Romanian PSL is a Dragunov. It explains that due to Romania's political stance in 1968, they were unable to obtain Soviet SVD technology. Instead, Romania developed its own designated marksman rifle, the PSL, by scaling up the AK design to utilize the 7.62x54R cartridge. The video highlights the PSL's features, including its semi-automatic-only fire, 10-round magazines, automatic hold-open mechanism, and its fitted LSO-2 telescopic sight. It also notes the PSL's widespread availability on the international market after the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
