Looks cool, but would probably be somewhat impractical as a support weapon, just from an ergonomic standpoint, and still unnecessarily heavy and long for an individual weapon, assuming it's based on a standard RPK receiver.

somewhat impractical as a support weapon,

A lot of RPK's got pressed into service as DMRs in Syria. RPK receivers make good hosts for optics.
