I was wondering if anyone on the Internet Movie Firearms Database community has any photos of this rarer variant. It is apparently the same type of weapon used by the former Soviet military and now Russian and other post-Soviet states in their armored vehicles. What makes it unique from the infantry or tank versions is that the PKB machine gun featured spade grips and the thumb button of older machine guns instead of the stock and pistol grip layout. Was at least used since the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979 - 1989  as helicopter weaponry (door and window armament for the Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopter). Despite frequent use I have not found many details in books or on the web on this variant. [[User:Maphisto86|Maphisto86]] ([[User talk:Maphisto86|talk]]) 00:32, 19 August 2013 (EDT)
