Russian military personnel on the front lines are actively using the 12.7 mm "Kord" heavy machine gun. It has proven itself excellently in recent military conflicts, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation noted.
The department noted that the machine gun has phenomenal lightness and versatility, and is therefore actively used both by infantry and as tank armament.
Thanks to a specially designed barrel resistant to thermal loads, "Kord" allows continuous machine gun fire with sniper accuracy.
The machine gun's rate of fire reaches 750 rounds per minute, while the projectile flies out of the barrel at an incredible speed of over 820 meters per second. "Kord" is capable of hitting a target at a distance of up to 2000 meters with aimed fire, while the maximum range of the weapon reaches 6000 meters.
