Which designation is listed as the length of the firing pin?

• A. PKM PPF
• B. DShK PPF
• C. PKM PPD
• D. DShK PPD

Answer: (B)

In these designation systems, the first part tells you the weapon model, and the second part is a code that identifies a specific size or length variant for that component. The firing pin length is one such variant that can have its own code, tied to the weapon it belongs to. For the DShK, the code for that firing pin length is PPF, so the correct pairing is DShK PPF. The other options combine different models with the other codes or apply a code to a different component, which doesn’t match the firing pin length designation in the standard catalog.
