The PZD MK24 represents the premier model in a newly developed category of PZD machine guns by DSS. This weapon system was designed to address the requirements of the 21st-century operator. The combination of the essential characteristics of a machine gun with the ergonomics and weight of an assault rifle represents a significant innovation in the field of weaponry. 

The MK24 machine gun is distinguished by its lightweight yet robust recoil-reducing design, which enables the operator to effectively engage distant targets with precision and efficiency.

Another advantage is the minimalist design of the feeding device, which is characterized by a straightforward and efficient mechanism which ensures that accessories remain securely in place after zeroing and firing.The whole receiver in combination with the continuous Picatinny rails, was specifically designed as a free float in the barrel area for enhanced heat dissipation.

Key features are a quick-change barrel and a select fire trigger that allows single shots are standard. A reduction in weight of 30% in comparison to other light machine guns in the same category enables each operator to carry a greater quantity of ammunition or other essential materials.
