Russian Machine Gun Ammo Pack?

One of our astute readers ran across this Russian video of the Chechen War featuring a Soldier firing a PKM machine gun fed from a backpack. The scene depicted above is at 1:13 on this song video from the move, “Specnaz.”

Thank you LF.

  P.S. It is Spetsnaz, not Specnaz (proper russian-english transliteration)

    I used the translation I was given. Translations change all of the time. I grew up with Peking and come to find out it was Beijing all along.
