Please buff the PKM (RPM-74)

[★ Chawmander]

Given the PKM is the only gun in the game to use 7.62x39mm rounds, it is incredibly hard to find loads of ammo for it. This becomes a huge issue when you try to use it because enemies, particularly later in the game, are much more armored and the PKM just does not do enough damage with standard rounds. You can bring 600 rounds with you and just burn through them like no tomorrow.

Admittedly, the AP rounds make a noticeable difference but with the ammo being as rare as it is, AP rounds are not easy to come by.

Not to mention neither Bison nor Sgt. Khoteyev seem to sell 7.62x39mm rounds so if you're in Prypiat you're just cooked. They can't be scavenged well either because it seems like only the ecologists use the PKM so if you're lucky enough to find a ecologist with a PKM and loot them you'll get maybe 50 rounds max, probably standard ones too.
