Overview[]

The RPK-16 is a Russian light machine gun developed from the AK-12 and RPK-400. The RPK-16 was first revealed in 2016.

The RPK-16 could be considered an equivalent of foreign light machine guns such as the M249, which are chambered in the same ammunition as the primary firearms and had the capability of utilizing magazines from them as well. Likewise, the RPK-16 is capable of fitting any AK-74 or RPK-74 magazines, and comes with its own special 95-rnd drum magazine. The RPK-16 has a better accuracy and a higher rate of fire than its predecessor, the RPK-74. Other design features come from firearms such as the AK-100 series, and the AK-400.

The RPK-16 comes equipped with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rails, which can be used to mount any number of attachments. The sides of the hand-guard allow for additional rails to be mounted if required. The 1P86-1 optic is normally used on the weapon, and the barrel can be changed within a few minutes if needed. A heavy barrel and folding bipod are also available to mount.
