Or it's will be automaticly prohibited by name

Interesting. The belt would have to be limited to 5 rounds however. Its not a Kalashnikov action, so i dont think it would be automtically prohib, for example the RPD( which is only prohib because it would be 12.3). The experts will have to field this one, im stumped.

There is no belt limit ;) 5rds is for mags only "a belt is not a mag" :)
 
Belts for pre-1945 designs are exempt from the 5 round limit, whereas post-1945 designs are not. The law is ambiguous when it comes to disintegrating link belts; it isn't entirely clear whether one link counts as one feeding device holding one round or whether several rounds linked together consist of a belt.

The PKM uses the same belt as the Goryunov SG-43, which was developed in 1943. I think the Russian Maxim can use the same belts, but I'm not sure.

Calling a PKM an AK variant is a stretch. They were both designed by Kalashnikov and have a gas operated rotating bolt, but that's it.
 
So for example what if a country started producing an ak variant but with a new model name not on that list?. Would it still be prohibited outright?.

Like Say a Aksm-81 or something.

I mean im sure it would be because this is Kanada were talking about here, but just curious.

Probably would be deemed a variant and added to the list oic automatically right?.
 
I know there is no logical explanation but still why AR15 semi is ok, BD38 semi is ok, Saiga is no-no even a shot gun version, PKM semi is no-no again...I do believe the vogue wording such as "all AK variants" must have a limit, must have clear definition why...

The laws were developed by a Lieberal government, therefore there can be NO logical explanation for ANY Canadian Firearms laws!!

Uhm..My memory could be flawed, but I'm pretty sure that those particular inanities, were passed under the Kim Campbell, and hence Conservative, justice department in Bill C-17.
