PKP Pecheneg


 * For similarly named weapons, see RPK or RPD

The PKP Pecheneg is a light machine gun that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was first seen in the Survival Mode trailer in the hands of enemy Juggernauts.

Campaign
The PKP Pecheneg is found wielded by Russian soldiers and Africa Militia members. It is one of Price's starting weapons on Dust to Dust, and is equipped with a Red Dot Sight.

The PKP Pecheneg is the de facto weapon for Juggernauts both in the Campaign and Special Ops.

Multiplayer
It is unlocked at level 18 in Multiplayer. The weapon has medium recoil and damage. Its iron sights are open but rather small, making the optical attachments possibly favorable. Still, it is manageable to fire fully automatically at close range targets, but burst firing is essential for long ranges unless the Kick proficiency or Grip is used, in which case it can be used full-auto at medium ranges fairly easily. The Rapid Fire attachment used with the Grip makes the PKP extremely deadly at close-mid range, but 3-4 round bursts are recomended for longer ranges.

Trivia

 * The PKP Pecheneg is the weapon used by all Juggernauts in Survival Mode, including the ones who wield Riot Shields. The Juggernauts do not drop this weapon after being killed.
 * On the back of the PKP Pecheneg, the word "Пулемёт" (Pulyemiot) is written, which is the Russian word for "gun" or "machine gun".
 * The kills and headshots emblems for the PKP Pecheneg have the name misspelled as "PKP Pecheng," probably because the actual name would not fit in the alotted space on the emblem.
