The Vektor SS-77 is a South African general-purpose machine gun designed in the late 1970s to replace the FN MAG in South African military service. It is a belt-fed, air-cooled, gas-operated weapon chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge.

The SS-77 is a belt-fed machine gun that fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round. The smaller Mini-SS fires the 5.56x45mm round. The cyclic rate of fire is about 800 rpm.

The Vektor SS-77 is a South African Designed and built General Purpose Machine Gun. It can be described as a "NATOfied" PK Machine Gun hence its layout and must be noted that the SS-77 is one of the best GPMGs in the world along with the PKM, FN MAG, and Rheinmetall-Borsig MG3.

The SS-77 has no gas regulator, and therefore no way to compensate for fouling during extended firing or even slow down the early SS-77’s ridiculous rate of fire (said by Vektor to be 700-900 rpm, but measured by some weapons experts to be as high as 1200 rpm).
