Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns

Hello everyone again, in my next work of Foreign Kalashnikovs I will show you the Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns (also known as Arsenal LMG) that derive from the Bulgarian Arsenal Automatic Rifles (also known as Arsenal AR) that I showed you earlier (here the addresses: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9mdnVv https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nYKQqX) and are also the standard weapons of the Bulgarian armed forces and of some countries in Africa and Asia, including troops from all sides engaged in the Syrian, Iraqi, Yemeni, Somali and Ethiopian civil wars. As you can see in this image, there are versions of these Bulgarian machine guns both 7'62 caliber (firing the Soviet 7'62 x 39mm cartridge) and 5'56 caliber (firing the western 5'56 x 45mm NATO cartridge) . The Arsenal Light Machine Guns are Bulgarian versions of the Soviet RPK light machine gun, which at the same time derives from the Soviet AK-47 assault rifle. But such Bulgarian weapons have numerous aesthetic differences that make it possible to distinguish an Arsenal LMG machine gun from the Soviet RPK machine gun. The first difference is that, as with the Arsenal Automatic Rifles, the fixed stocks, pistols and forearms of the Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns are also made of polymer, but have very different designs from those parts of these rifles. Bulgarian assault officers. The second difference is in the LMG-F models, which incorporate the same metal folding stock that the Soviet AKS-47 and AKMS assault rifles carry, which is collected by turning the end of said piece downwards. And the third difference is in the LMG-M4F models, which incorporate a folding stock also metal that is very similar to the stock of the Israeli IMI Galil assault rifle or that of the North Korean Type 88-1, which is retracted towards the right side of the weapon. Another aesthetic difference is that the barrels of the Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns are wider than the barrel of the Soviet RPK light machine gun, possibly to reinforce said piece and increase the resistance to the pressure of the cartridge explosions when the bullets are fired. especially when such Bulgarian guns fire in automatic mode. But the Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns, by deriving from the Arsenal Automatic Rifles and at the same time being modified copies of the Soviet AK-47, these Bulgarian weapons have the same technical sheet as the Soviet RPK light machine gun, which in turn derives from the AK- 47 Russian. As well as the Bulgarian Arsenal LMG machine guns are ideal weapons to fight in the middle of forests, jungles, deserts, mountains, steppes, snowy places, beaches, swamps, muddy terrain and all kinds of natural environments, since these Bulgarian weapons do not jam either in mud, sand, water, snow or any other material on our planet Earth. As with the Arsenal Automatic Rifles, numerous Bulgarian Arsenal Light Machine Guns of both calibers have been seen used by the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (a paramilitary organization active from 1997 to 2006 that was rated by more than 31 countries of the world of terrorists and drug traffickers) during the fourth and current stage of the Colombian Civil War developed from 2002 to today. And there have also been a few Arsenal LMG machine guns used by Georgian fighters who fought in the Russo-Georgian War, also known as the South Ossetian War and which occurred in 2008. I hope you like my new work and, as you I always say another cordial greeting. Until next time!
