This video showcases a Ukrainian workshop's adaptation of PKT machine guns for infantry use. The PKT, typically found in armored vehicles, lacks a pistol grip and shoulder stock, utilizing a solenoid trigger. The mechanics in Ukraine are modifying these receivers by adding these components and a bipod, essentially converting them to a standard infantry configuration. The description notes a similar practice occurred in the US historically due to the greater availability of PKT parts kits compared to standard PK/PKM kits. This process highlights innovative gunsmithing and the repurposing of existing military hardware.
