POTD: The PZD Mk24 Light Machine Gun

 

If the World is low on press releases, rest assured that TFB’s Photo Of The Day keeps rocking your day. Let’s take a closer look at the new PZD Mk24 Light Machine Gun to get to know it a little better. DSS is a young weapons manufacturer based in Prague, but it seems they got off to a great start.

The “about” caption from PZD gives you a more understanding of the firearm:

“The PZD MK24 represents the premier model in a newly developed category of PZD machine guns by DSS. This weapon system was designed to address the requirements of the 21st-century operator. The combination of the essential characteristics of a machine gun with the ergonomics and weight of an assault rifle represents a significant innovation in the field of weaponry.The MK24 machine gun is distinguished by its lightweight yet robust recoil-reducing design, which enables the operator to effectively engage distant targets with precision and efficiency.Another advantage is the minimalist design of the feeding device, which is characterized by a straightforward and efficient mechanism which ensures that accessories remain securely in place after zeroing and firing.The whole receiver in combination with the continuous Picatinny rails, was specifically designed as a free float in the barrel area for enhanced heat dissipation.Key features are a quick-change barrel and a select fire trigger that allows single shots are standard. A reduction in weight of 30% in comparison to other light machine guns in the same category enables each operator to carry a greater quantity of ammunition or other essential materials.”

The looks remind me a bit of the FN Evolys. Have your say in the comments.
