Seems to me that it's not the weapon itself, but the quantity of the weapons.
THat they wear out is normal. but spear parts, new weapons etc.. where's the normal maintenance?

When it does work, it is decent, but the unreliability of it is a true concern. I've been around that thing since 1993, it was a POS then, and it is still one now.

Our now retired KvKK SAWs were helluva lot older, but I'd imagine that they were no less used. (some complained that they jammed all the time, but this was because of blanks, not the weapon)

By the way, a SAW and a PKM are vastly different weapons.

I knowIknowIknow. But PKM is used here as a SAW.
