Yes folks yet another reason to head over to wallmart and pick up a PKM.

It's happen to me twice where i was flying a chopper and got shot out from a PKM. Has anyone else tested this? I'm going to right now >___>

I dont know if you can actually count on it everytime, unlike the M95. I have shot pilots out with a SRAW and even an F2000 (which really shouldnt be able to). I think its just a game glitch.

same thing has happened to me, but it's damn fun when you kill the heli pilot and the thing just crashes with someone still inside. happened in an earlier round today and it was funny because the gunner must have been an idiot and not known you can switch from gunner to pilot so it spun out of control and crashed.

Thats what happened with my F2000 kill. I was standing at the Tv Station Flag on Sharqi and the Mi-28 came flying in infront me. I just unloaded my gun at the chopper, not for any real reason just foolin around, but then I saw I got a kill and the chopper made the sound where the engine powers down and it flew down straight into the rock cliff, killing the gunner.

That's because the PKM is the mounted gun on the foreign vehicles, although the mounted version is a bit stronger than the handheld version.  The mounted PKM can also go through windshields.

Well its messed up because the 50cals mounted on the DPV's don't penetrate. I just hate that its buggy, either it should work all the time or none. In this case, none would be best imo :>

Maybe the pilot left the window open for some fresh air.

I call bullshit!


Maybe the PKM took the chopper out by shooting at it and dropping its shields, but it wont shoot through glass.

No? I shot someone out with it. He was in the blackhawk, coming at me, and I was bored and shooting at it (my team, but we were waiting for the server to get going) and I shot him out.

I also shot my friend out on accident with a grenade launcher. He was waiting for me to get in and I shot a grenade at it for the fun of it, and he died lol.

i think it happens when you hit the corner of the glass, where it meets the cockpit.  im pretty sure thats how you die when hit by a sraw or GL while in a cockpit, but it leaves the vehicle intact.

there's probably a small seam where the splash damage, or a stray bullet can penetrate and kill whoever is inside.

My bet is that being a vehicle is much like riding ontop of a tank in game physics.  While your viewere may not shift, your body occassionally clips through the vehicle allowing for a lucky kill. 

I mean, why else is it that you can run into the back of another plane, tap it, and the plane is just fine but you die.  And for that matter, why is it that even accurate fire from the M-95 is usually not enough to ensure a pilot kill on a moving helo? 

I could be totally off, but my gabble is on avatars clipping.

No it isn't. The PKM is not chambered 12.7mm(.50cal). The weapon on the T-90/Type 98/FAV/NJ2046/Vodnik is basically a NSV(T) 12.7mm AAMG, not a PKM. A PKM is a 7.62mm weapon.

I've killed a chopper pilot with an AT rocket by firing at the cockpit from directly below it.

Go fucking figure.
