  1. Neat. I've long wanted to see the guts. The North Korean bolt group is interesting - I think the totally separate belt withdrawal hooks seem to be a good idea, making it easier to fix tension problems without having to deadline the gun and send it back to an actual armorer. You could just issue every gunner a spare hook in their spares tin. OTOH, I'm not sure about some of the simplified cuts. That squared off cut, for instance - I wonder what the failure rate of that part at that location, versus the Soviet rounded cut.

  2.  @andreww2098  I agree. And it's a good idea even if they had no worse of an issue in that area than the Soviet PK.
