FOREWORD: Following some recent events that saw one of my older creations being used without my consent and a certain individual throwing a tantrum instead of simply correctly crediting me, I've decided I'll be reuploading *most* of the things I made under my now deactivated Hiroki-00 handle to this account for both posterity and to better reflect I actually made them.

You can find most of these hosted on the PMG Creations wiki / PMG wiki, but if anything this means I'll have them here, right where they belong.

It took me 2 years to realize wiping accounts is stupid, especially if the files you aim to reduce access to are hosted elsewhere. OPSEC should have taught me this, but I'm afraid failure is always the best way to learn - doesn't matter who you are, if you drop the ball you get to pick it up even if it fell in a latrine.

Date of original upload: March 21st, 2019 for the first weapon; April 2nd, 2019 for the second and third weapons (top to bottom)

LORE: GKA-48 Civilian Carbine
The GKA-48 (гражданский карабин Афанасьева, Civilian Carbine of Afanasiev) is a curious little rifle that has been making the rounds as of late. It received little to no fanfare upon being introduced into the market, but it soon caught on like wildfire thanks to being affordable, reliable and stylish while not letting down in the performance department.* The distinctive sleek, elegant lines can be directly attributed to the Afanasiev Design Bureau and their insistence on making their designs as lightweight and slim as possible while still retaining the reliability one would expect from such specialists.**
It chambers a proprietary round, the 9.2x39mm Sosna, that is tailored for various uses - from plinking to hunting small game and also personal defense, with hollow point loads being quite popular for such purpose. Many find this round to be more than adequate for something fired out of a civilian gun, which is saying something due to its somewhat low velocity. ***
As the first popular weapon conceived by ADB, the GKA-48 is also the first to bear the institution's chosen logo for firearms: an eye looking forwards to progress.
Most of these sales were made for army reservists.

*The weapon has been noted to be stupidly easy to modify, however. ADB was warned to rectify this ASAP.
** High-velocity, overpressured 9.2mm Sosna loads do exist but they are also highly sought after by the reservists who use them.
*** There is some contention to this fact; as production engineers from rival bureaus believe this eye is, in fact, there to mock them for not producing such a successful weapon

GKA-48 automatic modification
An illegal modification of the GKA-48, generally known as the GKA-48 Auto as none are exactly alike but still are constructed in more or less the same way - the heat shield of the original weapon is cut down along with its gas piston, the stock is either cut down or replaced enitrely and the weapon gains a fully automatic firemode.
The exemplar showed to the right is of above-average condition, as evidenced by the craftsmanship exhibited in its handguard which incorporates a foregrip. It also has a rather crude folding stock, consisting of two bent pipe pieces drilled through and nailed in place to a small section of wood. The stock's shoulder pad itself seems to have come from a small portion of a motorcycle's tyre as well.
The logo of the Afanasiev Design Bureau has also been ground off - in its place is instead an unknown symbol consisting of two crossed swords.
GKA-48 autos tend to be about as large as a SMG, despite firing the 9.2x39mm cartridge and thus having superior firepower. They are also wildly innacurate and tend to jam mid-fire, but some instances are of much better craftsmanship than others.

GKA-48 hunt modification
GKA-48 hunt conversions tend to be done by expert gunsmiths, as much of the core firearm is changed or swapped - for starters, it uses the 7.62x54mmR round and has its iron sights removed so a high power scope may be used.
Despite the stress inflicted on the receiver and bolt, the GKA-48 hunt is one of the softer-shooting rifles out there. This is probably helped by the fact that unlike the GKA-48 auto, it takes much more skill than just sawing it down.
The bipod's design varies wildly in each of them, but this particular example has a rather inneficient design. Perhaps due to not having much of a place to mount the bipod, the gunsmith behind it instead chose to simply add a freely rotating sleeve around the new barrel, then a steel block above it where he installed the bipod's legs. Despite this odd choice that hinders accuracy whenever the bipod is folded or unfolded, the design of its legs and feet are actually quite sound.
A small palm rest has also been added below the new pistol grip, further emphasizing its role as a sniper's favored weapon.
COMMENTARY: This whole collection stemmed from this: www.deviantart.com/daemon99/ar…

Credit to daemon99. I believe he has some of the best PMG stuff outside of Flickr PMG, it's always exciting to see one of his uploads. Go give him some support, he could use it.

I used Paint to include the until now unseen earlier, scrapped iteration of the GKA-48 hunt modification: suppressed, with a brass catcher for silent elminations and a host of other small differences such as a more elaborate top cover.
