AEK-999

AEK-999

AEK-999 Barsuk (Russian : АЕК-999 Барсук) is a Russian machine gun chambered for the 7.62 x 54 mm round. It's a modernised PKM machine gun. The barrel of AEK-999 is made of the same type of steel used for machine guns in the aviation for greater durability. The odd device at the muzzle (a suppressor) has several roles : increasing accuracy, reducing the noise for the gunner and reducing his acoustic signature (400 to 600 meters, depending on the terrain), eliminating the muzzle flash which makes the gunner hard to pinpoint and ensures accurate fire during the night since the gunner is not blinded by the flash.
