So in buying the LCT RPK i found that it is a) very long and b) heavier than the cyma's i have held, likely due to it being a stronger metal.
The weight isnt too heavy much for me to run, as I was able to raise and sprint with it throughout a whole days skirmish without issue. However the forgrip angle has sprained my wrist somewhat, and it has taken a few weeks for it no longer ache when twisted/lifting heavy crap. Annoyingly, this has made my other guns, the ones that lack a vertical foregrip less comfortable to wield as they induce that same twist and pressure. Incidentally, it is the same wrist that I broke both arm bones falling off my bike when I was 13 ish? hoping to hell that isnt why.
So I see two options. Wrist exercises so they can take the strain (place crude jokes here) or fitting a verticle grip onto the gun. I have practiced a hold in the RPK where my left hand is almost holding the mag which seems to help. LCT don't seem to offer that level of customisation, but CYMA do. Has anyone tried fitting CYMA outer body parts to an LCT? As they have a few RIS rail foregrips aimed at CYMA AK's that would work a treat.
Also, if anyone remembers the poll I posted about getting a Russian LMG, the LCT RPK was the most voted for and its an utter beast. Great range, the fire rate is fast enough for me (any faster and the CYMA drum mag spring cant keep up, as I found out with my 74u) and it sounds great.
