The 5.45mm Kalashnikov RPK-16 light machine gun is a new Squad Automatic weapon proposed by “Kalashnikov” Concern. Based on traditional Kalashnikov layout and design, it has several novel technical and ergonomic features derived from the AK-12 program, as well as some specific “machine gun” upgrades such as detachable barrels that are available in two lengths, long and short. Eventually this gun is intended to replace old 5.45mm RPK-74 light machine guns / squad automatic weapons.
