Is Wheel Is Invented

The Soviets didn't reinvent the wheel when they developed their GMPGs.

They just used the same non-disintegrating metal belt they were using in their Maxim guns.

That's probably why those Maxims are able to be used in Ukraine today.

It makes one wonder if the older cloth belts work in a PKM, don't it?  I doubt it, but I've been surprised before.

    Maxims? Wow, I guess they'd be handing Mosin M44s to their forced conscripts if they hadn't dumped those on the surplus market in the 1990s and early 2000s... It would be interesting to see how many other vintage things are getting pulled out of cosmoline by the Russians these days?
